Despite a decline in cases, public health officials on Thursday warned against small surge in COVID-19 as winter holidays draw to a close.
COVID-19 has not thrived as much this winter as it did the past two years, but Los Angeles County public health officials on Thursday, Dec. 29, still urged people to remain vigilant, especially with more holiday gatherings expected this weekend — the Rose Parade chief among them.
That’s why Ferrer and other health officials continue urging folks to take precautions, such as masking and staying home when sick. There were 3,986 new cases reported Thursday, bringing the county’s all-time total to 3,628,357, including those reported in Pasadena and Long Beach. There were 25 new deaths Thursday and 1,269 people currently in the hospital with COVID-19.
“While any drop in cases, hospitalizations and deaths is positive news,” Ferrer said, “it’s still important to maintain perspective.” The current rate of new cases is 157 per 100,000 people, which keeps the county in the “medium” transmission tier. “The encouraging decline is caused by those taking preventive measures,” Ferrer said. “I hope these measures will prevent a second sharp rise in cases as folks return from winter break travel and gatherings.”
