Of the 540 patients, 63 were being treated in intensive care, up from 61 on Saturday.
The number of COVID-positive patients in Los Angeles County hospitals has increased by 30 people to 540, according to the latest state figures out on Sunday, June 5.The overall total had dipped as low as 209 in late April.
Ferrer also said that if the quickening pace of virus-related hospital admissions seen over the past few weeks continues, the county could be moved to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s “high” virus-activity category by the end of the month. Reaching that category would mean a return of mandatory indoor mask wearing rules.
As of Thursday, the county’s rate of new hospital admissions was 5.2 per 100,000 residents, double the rate from a month ago. The portion of beds occupied by virus patients was still relatively low at 2.7%, but also higher than it was last month.
