The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health reported 13,580 new COVID-19 cases and 44 new virus-related deaths today.

To date, there have been 719,833 positive cases and 9,482 deaths—and those deaths are an undercount due to the holiday and weekend reporting delays, health officials stated.

In addition, there are 6,815 people currently hospitalized with COVID-19, and 20% of them are in the ICU.

More than 4.6 million people in the county have been tested for the coronavirus and 15% of them have tested positive, according to the department.

The seven-day daily positivity rate is currently 17.5%.

Health officials urged the public to follow health orders to stem the spread of the virus.

“People mixing with others not in their household has driven the COVID-19 pandemic in L.A. County to the most dangerous levels that we have ever seen,” Director of Public Health Barbara Ferrer said in a statement.

“The overwhelmed hospitals are the saddest proof of this reality. To honor our health care workers and for the safety of your family and friends, please delay travel plans and gather only with members of our household. These actions will save lives,” she said.
