Los Angeles County Department of Public Health officials on Friday confirmed 256 new deaths and 9,277 new cases of confirmed COVID-19 countywide, as Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital in Valencia reported three new deaths.
New cases are considerably lower this week, with a decrease of 30 percent in the seven-day average of daily cases from last week.
The test positivity rate has also dropped to 12.7 percent.
On Jan. 1, the test positivity rate was 20.8 percent; this is a reduction of 39 percent in three weeks.
On Nov. 1, just before our surge began, the County’s test positivity rate was 3.8 percent.
While we have come a long way this week with community transmission, we have a long road to go and must continue to practice infectious control measures: wear a face covering and maintain physical distance when out of your home.
The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health on Wednesday confirmed 262 new deaths and 6,492 new cases of COVID-19 countywide, as the county’s rollout of an extremely limited vaccine supply continues at Dodger Stadium and five supersites including Six Flags Magic Mountain.
The high demand among now-eligible residents age 65 years and older to receive the COVID-19 vaccine crashed the county’s appointment registration website Tuesday.
The number of new COVID-19 cases and deaths reported Wednesday reflects the fact that testing sites were closed for the holiday weekend and there is slightly less testing capacity with the conversion of Dodger Stadium to a vaccination location, Public Health officials said in their daily update.
The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health on Monday confirmed 88 new deaths and 9,927 new cases of COVID-19 countywide, as Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital in Valencia reported 7 new fatalities since Friday.
One patient died Friday, two died Saturday, and four more died Sunday, hospital spokesman Patrick Moody said Monday afternoon.
The Santa Clarita Valley has reached 21,956 total COVID-19 cases 767 more than Friday and 165 deaths since the pandemic began.
The number of new cases and deaths reported Monday reflects a reporting lag from over the weekend and holiday, Public Health officials said in their Monday update.
To date, Public Health identified 1,024,190 positive cases of COVID-19 across all areas of L.A. County and a total of 13,936 deaths.

A group of approximately 75 Department of Defense medical personnel have deployed to a handful of California hospitals in two of the state’s regions hardest hit by the pandemic.
Roughly 65 U.S. Air Force doctors, nurses and other medical staff from the 60th Medical Group at Travis Air Force Base and around 10 U.S. Army nurses from a Fort Carson, Colorado-based military medical unit, have arrived and begun onboarding at four hospitals: Adventist Health Lodi Memorial in Lodi, Dameron Hospital in Stockton, Community Regional Medical Center in Fresno and Arrowhead Regional Medical Center in Colton.
The deployment comes as California and the entire country is experiencing a devastating surge in COVID-19 cases. The hospitals selected are located in the San Joaquin Valley and Southern California, two regions of the state with 0% ICU bed capacity and currently under mandatory stay-at-home orders. On Tuesday, those orders were extended.
