The number of people hospitalized with a coronavirus infection in Los Angeles County has increased by 21 people to 762, according to the latest state data.
Of those patients hospitalized as of Saturday, 76 were being treated in intensive care, up nine from Friday.
The current seven-day average of new hospital admissions of people with the virus was 84 per day, Simon said Thursday, only a small bump from 83 the previous week. If the county reaches the high level and stays there for two weeks, a new indoor mask mandate will be imposed. While virus transmission is still considered high across the county, the average number of local new infections has begun to level off, and even decline. Simon said the current rate of new daily cases is about 4,400 per day, a 6% drop from the previous week.
