10 Coronavirus Cases Confirmed In Montrose As Of Tuesday

LOS ANGELES, CA — Forty more deaths due to coronavirus were reported in Los Angeles County Tuesday, the largest single-day jump in fatalities since the pandemic began, while the overall number of cases topped 10,000.

The sharp increases came one day after the county reported its lowest number of new cases -- 239. County public health director Barbara Ferrer noted that Monday totals are generally lower due to more limited testing on the weekends.

Ferrer reported 670 new cases on Tuesday, raising the countywide total to 10,047. The 40 new deaths increased the county's total to 360, and again raised the local mortality rate to 3.6% -- representing the percentage of coronavirus-positive residents who have died. The percentage has been steadily increasing, having been at about 1.8% in early April.

The new figures released Tuesday came amid a growing national discussion about when stay-at-home and other health department orders might be lifted, allowing people to go back to work and non-essential businesses to reopen. Earlier Tuesday, Gov. Gavin Newsom unveiled six key milestones in the effort to contain the coronavirus that the state will need to meet before officials consider lifting stay-home orders.

Newsom's highly anticipated announcement about the state's plans did not include a timeline for when restrictions may be lifted. Still, Newsom said he was "optimistic" that the state avoided a worst-case scenario, thanks to social distancing measures.

Still, life after the crisis will look much different than before. Restaurants may have temperature checks at the door and reduced seating inside, mass events will remain canceled for the foreseeable future, and stay-home orders may be reintroduced periodically if the virus begins surging back, Newsom said at Tuesday's news conference.

Of the 40 new deaths reported in L.A. County, 25 were over age 65. Seventeen of those 25 people had underlying health conditions. Nine of the 40 new deaths were people aged 41-65, five of whom had existing health problems. No data was immediately available on the other six cases.

The county has been compiling ethnic data on people who have died from COVID-19, but thus far such information was only available for 292 of the 360 people who have died. Of those 292, 34% were Latinx, 32% white, 17% Asian, 16% black and 2% were listed as other.

Of the county's 10,047 cases, 26 were homeless people, and all but four of them were unsheltered.

A total of 109 residents of nursing homes or skilled nursing facilities have died from the coronavirus, representing 31% of all deaths in the county. The county is investigating cases at 199 "institutional settings," such as nursing homes, skilled nursing facilities, assisted living facilities, shelters, jails and prisons that have had at least one case. Those institutions have had a total of 1,596 cases.

A total of 64 cases have been confirmed in the county's jails -- 11 inmates and 53 staff members. There were also 29 cases in prisons, involving 19 inmates and 10 staffers, while four staff members at county juvenile facilities have tested positive, Ferrer said.

As of Monday, more than 63,000 people have been tested in Los Angeles County, with about 11% testing positive.

In addition to Newsom's goals announced Tuesday, Ferrer listed four indicators being eyed by county officials -- generally mirroring the statewide list.

Ferrer said the four areas that will be considered by county health officials before relaxing stay-at-home and business-closure orders are:

-- ensuring the county has adequate health care services available for the sick while also ensuring resources for preventive care such as immunizations and dental services, and also ensuring health care workers have needed personal protective equipment;

-- ensuring resources are available to adequately protect the most vulnerable populations from coronavirus, such as the elderly, people in nursing homes and people with underlying health conditions;

-- expanding the availability of coronavirus testing, and also providing space for people to safely quarantine or isolate from others, particularly if people under such orders are unable to do so in their own homes; and

-- ensuring that when businesses are allowed to reopen as the pandemic recedes, they have plans in place to continue maintaining social distancing to prevent a new spike in cases.

"Reopening safely will be different for different business sectors, and we're looking forward to working with all of these sectors over the next few weeks to create directives that ensure the safety of workers and customers when we get to the other side," Ferrer said.
