The COVID-19 pandemic has claimed its youngest victim in Los Angeles County, with health officials confirming Wednesday that a 15- month-old child was among 91 newly reported deaths from the virus.
Details about the 15-month-old child were not released by the county Department of Public Health, but the agency confirmed the child is the “youngest resident to die of COVID-19 since the pandemic began, and a stark reminder that the virus can cause devastating outcomes among those most vulnerable, including young children not yet eligible for vaccinations.
The rolling daily average of people testing positive for the virus in the county was 13.6% as of Wednesday. The district also reported an improving attendance rate among students, at 83.4% as of Wednesday. On Jan. 13, the attendance rate at LAUSD was 66.8%. According to the county, 11 new school outbreaks were reported between Jan. 16-22, an increase from the prior week but still “relatively low” given the large number of cases occurring in the county at large.
