Health officials could move LA County into the “low” COVID activity level in the coming weeks as hospitalizations rates continue to decrease throughout the county.
The county moved into the"high'' virus level in mid-July, thanks to a new infection rate that topped 200 per 100,000 residents and an average daily virus-related hospitalization rate that topped 10 per 100,000 residents. On Aug. 12, however, the county moved back to the"medium'' category when the hospitalization rate fell below 10 per 100,000 residents.
"It's possible LA County could move to the low community level in this next week, should that case rate drop below 200,'' Ferrer said. Ferrer also noted that the hospitalization rate is still fluctuating. Last week, the county's hospitalization rate ticked up to 9.6 per 100,000 residents. She also said that while the falling transmission rate is good news, a rate of 200 per 100,000 residents"is still high,'' and residents should continue to take all available prevention measures to prevent infections. She urged residents to take that message to heart over the upcoming Labor Day weekend.
