To date, there have been 322,207 positive COVID-19 cases and 7,172 deaths. While 851 people are currently hospitalized
29% are in ICU. About 3,257,000 individuals tested positive and 9% tested positive.

A recent update by Los Angeles County officials continues to see the upward trend in cases, marking the third consecutive day of more than 2,000 new cases.

Friday’s reports show an increase in the number on Saturday where Public Health confirmed 2,065 cases. In addition to new deaths and cases, Public Health admits 840 existing hospitals, with 30% of patients receiving treatment in the ICU. As COVID-19 figures continue to rise, officials recommend that, despite the desire to protest or celebrate after the local and presidential election results, county residents continue to avoid large crowds.

Large groups across the country have gathered to celebrate the success of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris over Donald Trump and Mike Pence, often staying six feet apart following the CDC’s recommendation. In addition, Trump supporters or those hoping to challenge the election results have gathered in crowds to protest in areas including Beverly Hills. Officials say such gatherings are places where the coronavirus is easily spread, especially if people do not wear ingots safely over their noses and mouths.
