With COVID-19 hospitalizations continuing to rise, L.A. County is on pace to reach the 'high' virus activity level by next week, which could mean another universal indoor mask-wearing mandate by the end of the month, officials say.
"We don't have the luxury of doing nothing,'' Ferrer said, pointing to the high level of virus spread in the county -- increasingly fueled by the BA.4 and BA.5 variants of the virus -- and rising hospitalization numbers.According to state figures, there were 989 COVID-positive patients in county hospitals as of Thursday, up from 920 a day earlier.
She said the CDC figure relating to hospital admission rates actually combines Los Angeles and Orange counties, and Orange County has a substantially higher admission rate than Los Angeles. Taken separately, however, Los Angeles' rate is only 8.4 per 100,000, while Orange County's is 13.3 per 100,000.
