This week’s numbers represent a 165% increase over the prior week, with alarm over the particularly sharp rise in infections among Black residents.
Between June 3 and July 3, the two-week case rate, adjusted for age, rose from 39 to 97 per 100,000 residents, respectively, for the Black community. It rose for all other groups as well, but not as dramatically.
Case rates per 100,000 in Los Angeles County for Black residents are much higher than other groups.
Deaths remain low for all groups, but mortality is a “lagging indicator,” meaning these numbers may not begin to rise for a month or longer, Dr. Muntu Davis, the county health officer, told the Board of Supervisors on Tuesday.
