At the time of reporting, 979 individuals were hospitalized in Covid-19, 29% of whom are in the ICU. Test results have been made available to approximately 5,946,000 people, of whom 19% have tested positive. Saturday’s test positivity rate, in particular, came in at 1.8%. While the number of hospital admissions due to the virus continues to decline, it is still considered high.

Of today’s new deaths, 14 were in the 80’s. The 12 people who lost their lives to the virus were between the ages of 65 and 79. The ages of 10 ranged from 50 to 64, with three people aged 30 to 49. Five of the reports of passing deaths came from the City of Long Beach.

Today’s news came yesterday in anticipation of a major announcement that saw Los Angeles County join the ranks of 12 others in shifting to the red reopening level, closely aligned with the state-announced structure. The shift came after 2 million doses of the Covid-19 vaccine were given to some of its hardest-hit communities, according to the State of the Safe Economy blueprint.

As a result of this transition to red tires, movie theaters, museums, zoos, aquariums and indoor dining will be allowed to reopen in LA County at 25% capacity, with gym, fitness centers, yoga and dance studios 10% capacity from Monday, March 15 at 12:01 p.m. Can open indoors, requiring masking for all indoor activities, while retail and personal care services are allowed to increase capacity to 50%, although the same safety conditions are supported. Indoor shopping malls will also be able to increase capacity by 50%, although general areas will remain closed. At the same time, schools and institutions of higher learning will be able to reopen for individual activities, with the necessary security changes.

With LA County in the red tier, masking and social spacing are in place, while private homes are allowed within three houses. Meanwhile, fully vaccinated individuals can combine in small groups with the other two, without the need for masking or spacing, who have both been vaccinated.

In a recent report from Public Health, Director Barbara Ferrer noted that we, as counties, have “made good progress and have much to progress.

“We urge everyone to use caution and good judgment in these coming crucial weeks and months to avoid an increase in cases such as those seen in late 2020 and early 2021, hospital admissions and deaths. Don’t let your guards down. Follow all safety measures. “Keep it simple, keep at least a 6-foot distance from others and keep in mind that home activities are safer than home activities.”
