About 150 hospital patients were being treated in intensive care, down slightly from 153 on Saturday.
The number of COVID-19-positive patients in Los Angeles County hospitals dipped slightly on Wednesday, Dec. 28, falling below the 1,200 mark, while more than 2,100 new infections were reported.
Health officials have estimated that roughly 40% of patients with the virus were admitted for actual COVID-19-related ailments, while others were hospitalized for different reasons, with many only learning they were infected upon admission. Infection numbers have also been falling but remain elevated, with 2,138 new cases reported by the county on Wednesday. The new cases lifted the county’s cumulative total from throughout the pandemic to 3,624,419.
Although case numbers have been falling in recent weeks, county health officials warned last week that death rates “continue to climb in Los Angeles County, especially among older people.”
