Sunday and Monday figures tend to be lower because of delays in reporting from the weekend.
Case numbers are also likely low because of how many people now rely on at-home tests but do not report the results to the county, health officials have said.
The county reported 17 COVID-19-related deaths on Saturday, and 10 each on Sunday and Monday. The new fatalities lifted the county’s overall death toll to 33,385. An update was not immediately available on the number of COVID-19-positive patients in county hospitals. On Saturday, the latest day for which figures are available, there were 771 virus-positive patients hospitalized in the county, with 106 of them being treated in intensive care.
County officials have said about 43% of patients with COVID-19 were actually hospitalized because of virus-related illness, while the rest were admitted for other reasons, with some only learning they were infected when they were tested upon admission.
