UPDATE: On Sunday, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health reported 4 new deaths and 830 new COVID-19 cases in L.A. county. As with all numbers reported on the weekend, the data reflects delays over the weekend. This comes after Public Health saw an increase in positive cases reported due to backlogged cases.

The new data brings the tally of COVID-19 cases to 299,760 while there have been 6,993 deaths. There 785 people currently hospitalized with COVID-19 with 29% in the ICU. Of more than 3,029,000 individuals tested, 9% of all people tested positive.

Along with the new deaths and positive cases, L.A. Public Health also reported 770 COVID-19 hospitalizations, with 29% of patients receiving treatment in the ICU. With the current stats, L.A. county continues to remain stable with under 800 daily hospitalizations since mid-September.

Saturday’s additional case daily count sees a decrease from Friday’s, which showed 2,773 new cases, and a significant dip from Thursday’s 3,600 new cases. The past three updates have reflected the County’s data backlog.

Public Health shared that it anticipates receiving additional backlog test data and results over the next few days, which may result in higher case numbers.

As of Saturday, Public Health has identified 298,937 positive COVID-19 cases and a total of 6,989 deaths in Los Angeles County.

The latest update comes a day after the United States broke its own single-day case record as officials reported 83,757 additional positive cases of COVID-19 on Friday. The previous single-day record was 77,362 back in July.
