New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said Tuesday afternoon that coronavirus cases in the city have surpassed 800. He advised New Yorkers to be prepared for a possible shelter-in-place order, saying the decision would be made within 48 hours
For the second straight day, L.A. County Department of Public Health is reporting its largest single day spike in the number of confirmed cases of the novel coronavirus with 50 more individuals testing positive, bringing the total to 144.
Ferrer also wanted to point out that the county has seen a "dramatic increase" in lab testing, reporting the completion of 206 tests while commercial labs have processed tests for 900 individuals. Meanwhile, the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta — working in tandem with the L.A. County Department of Public Health — has been shouldering some of the burden by completing tests for 38 individuals. "This is good news for all of us," she said.
The city of Los Angeles as well as the county have taken drastic and unprecedented measures to help slow the spread of the virus, including the shuttering of movie theaters, gyms, nightclubs, bars, bowling alleys, arcades, entertainment centers, while restaurants are limited to take-out and delivery service only.
Ferrer said that isolation can a tricky time for some, and she encouraged anyone who is "feeling particularly stressed" to call the L.A. County Department of Public Health's mental health hotline, available 24/7: 1-800-854-7771.
