The county had not reported Monday case numbers because of “technical issues.”
Los Angeles County reported another 1,532 COVID-19 infections from the weekend, along with 22 new deaths, on Monday, Oct. 17 — the same day Gov. Gavin Newsom announced California’s coronavirusThe county, which no longer reports COVID-19 numbers on weekends, did not immediately report infection and death numbers for Monday, citing “technical issues” with the data processing system. Monday’s numbers will be tallied when the issue is resolved.
The official number of cases reported each day is believed to be an undercount of actual virus activity in the county because of the prevalence of at-home tests that are not always reported to DPH, according to health officials. There were 434 COVID-19-positive patients in county hospitals as of Monday, with 58 of those patients being treated in intensive care, according to state figures.
Health officials, though, have remained cautiously optimisitc about the pandemic, with vaccines continuing to protect people — but with the coming winter providing reason to stay vigilant.
