LA County remains in high COVID-19 transmission; officials hopeful that was last much longer
Los Angeles County is still in ‘high’ COVID-19 transmission, health officials said on Thursday afternoon, Aug. 4, despite recent projections that the region’s hospital admission rate would fall below that threshold.
That data, she said last week, signaled a potential countywide return to medium transmission by Thursday. But the CDC’s latest data, as of Thursday, contradicted DPH’s finding — keeping the county in high community transmission for at least the next week. Both the CDC and DPH use three measures to determine community COVID-19 transmission. They include new COVID-19 cases per 100,000 residents over the past seven days, new COVID-19 hospitalizations per 100,000 people over the past seven days, and the percentage of staffed inpatient hospital beds occupied by those with COVID-19.
