Los Angeles County reported 4,825 new coronavirus cases and 91 deaths Wednesday — a new daily record for fatalities.
The numbers, which were affected in part by a backlog of cases and deaths being reported from last Thursday through Sunday, bring the county’s total number of infections to more than 180,000 and the death toll to more than 4,500. Three of the newly reported deaths were among people between the ages of 18 and 29. Two of those people had underlying health conditions. That age group accounts for 0.6% of the county’s total deaths.
“I know we’re all eager and anxious to see our lives return to normal,” Ferrer said. “We do have the tools at hand to make this a reality in the future. But we need compliance with our directives.” COVID-19 is on track to be the second-leading cause of death in the county, Supervisor Hilda Solis said.
