Long Beach is expected to announce additional coronavirus-related restrictions on Tuesday after the city reported more than a thousand new COVID-19 cases since last week.

Health officials are still calculating the numbers, but since Nov. 24 the city has recored 486 cases, with approximately 700 more from the weekend that will be included in Tuesday’s tally, the city said in a statement late Monday. As of Saturday, Long Beach has recored 16,202 total cases.

The data released Tuesday will help “determine next steps for Long Beach, including changes to the health order based on these latest data,” the statement said.

Officials on Monday continued to warn of pending spikes in hospitalizations amid the soaring case rates. Starting Monday, Nov. 30, Los Angeles County imposed tightened health restrictions, including a ban on most gatherings and strict capacity limits on most businesses.

Long Beach, which has its own health department and can issue its own health orders, has not yet said whether it will follow the county’s rules, but the city has typically followed its example for most health orders.

Following the spike in cases, Long Beach has also seen an alarming increase in hospitalizations and testing demand.

Currently, 135 people with COVID-19 are hospitalized in medical centers around Long Beach, which include Long Beach Memorial Hospital, St. Mary Medical Center, College Medical Center, Lakewood Regional Medical Center and Los Alamitos Medical Center. That’s an increase of 366% since Nov. 1.

The city said 64 Long Beach residents are hospitalized, which includes residents in hospitals outside of the city, for an increase of 94% since Nov. 1.

“While the city has a plan for surge capacity if need be, hospital capacity is a crucial indicator,” the statement said. “As of now, 59% of beds, not including pediatric beds, are in use in Long Beach hospitals. Intensive Care Units are at 64% of total capacity, and 43% of available ventilators are in use.”

That capacity includes patients hospitalized for issues other than COVID-19.

Demand for testing continued to increase with 1,405 tests administered on Saturday and 1,352 on Sunday. The case rate per 100,000 residents has spiked to 24.7 from 6.9 on Nov. 1.

Officials said the numbers “show no signs of slowing down,” prompting significant concern over hospital capacity.

“The city will not begin to see the implications of Thanksgiving weekend for about 10 days, and we expect to see additional hospital impacts 2-3 weeks from now,” the statement said.

The county’s stepped-up health orders, meanwhile, have been met with resistance in some cases.

The city of Pasadena, which also has its own health department, has allowed in-person dining to continue, while Lancaster city officials have called a special City Council meeting on Thursday to consider a no-confidence vote in the county’s health officer.

The ban on in-person dining was triggered last week when the county met a five-day threshold of averaging more than 4,000 new COVID-19 cases per day. The new health restrictions that took effect Monday were triggered when the case numbers worsened, with the county reaching a five-day daily average of 4,500 new infections.

Health officials said the county’s surge has surpassed the one seen in mid-summer, with cases spiking at an unprecedented rate.
