The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health today announced 1,400 new confirmed cases of COVID-19 infections, with 743 of those coming from a backlog of tests whose results are newly released.
That brings the total number of confirmed infections to 15,140. However, a recent study by the Health Department with the University of Southern California suggests that 2.8% to 5.6% of the county’s adult population has that antibody to the virus — which means that 221,000 to 442,000 may have had the infection.
The number of confirmed infections of West Hollywood residents increased from 114 reported on Monday to 120 today. That means that one of every 307 WeHo residents has been confirmed to have the virus.
The Health Department reported that there have been 46 new deaths associated with the COVID-19 infection, bringing the total countywide to 663. Thirty-three of those who died were over the age of 65; four people were between the ages of 41 and 65, and two were between the ages of 18 and 40. Thirty-one people had underlying health conditions, including 27 of those over the age of 65, three of those aged 41 to 65 and one person between the ages of 18 and 40.
In its announcement of the latest county, the Health Department said Public Health said that it continues to receive a backlog of test results. “In an effort to expand testing capacity, many new labs are responding to the emergency and Public Health is working with them to ensure that they have the proper reporting systems in place. Until this reporting issue is resolved, there may be periodic increases in positive cases and total cases due to unevenness in daily reporting.”
Nearby communities also saw an increase in confirmed infections, with those in Beverly Hills up by five from yesterday’s count of 94. The number of confirmed infections in Culver City increased by two to 44. As of today there are 157 confirmed infections in the Hollywood neighborhood, an increase of 11 from Monday’s count of 146. The number of confirmed infections in the Melrose neighborhood increased by 16 to a total of 265 today.
Seventy-two residents of the Little Armenia neighborhood in Los Angeles have been confirmed to be infected, up from 65 on Monday. That means 897.2 of 100,000 residents of that area have been infected – the highest rate among the 335 cities and communities surveyed by the Health Department.
There number of infections in the Crestview neighborhood grew by four to a total of 55, meaning that 483.81 per 100,000 residents there have been infected. Crestview is the second most highly infected neighborhood.
The Carthay neighborhood in Los Angeles, with 54 infections as of today ranks third, with 375.97 infections per 100,000 residents. Rancho Dominguez saw no increase in the previously confirmed 10 infections, which equals 375.8 per 100,000 residents and makes it the fourth most highly infected area.
The Hancock Park neighborhood has 61 confirmed infections, up from 58 on Monday, as of today, which ranks it fifth with 358 infections per 100,000 residents. With its 265 infections, the Melrose neighborhood has 341.07 infections per 100,000 residents and is the sixth most infected area.
West Hollywood is now the seventh most highly infected community, with 324.70 residents per 100,000 having a confirmed COVID-19 infection.
As reported previously, the county has loosened conditions for qualifying for same-day tests, which formerly were reserved for those with symptoms of an infection who were 65 or older or had an underlying health condition such as heart disease. Those who want to be tested now must only exhibit symptoms of a possible infection, which include coughing, a fever, tiredness and, in severe cases, difficulty breathing. Those who want to be tested must first go online to see if they qualify and to book an appointment. A testing site adjacent to West Hollywood is on Alden Drive at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
The best protection against COVID-19 is to wash your hands frequently, avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands, self-isolate if you are sick, practice physical distancing (especially by staying at home) and wear a clean face covering when out in the public procuring or providing essential services. N95 and surgical masks should only be used by healthcare workers, first responders and essential workers providing care for people who are ill.
Essential businesses must provide a cloth face covering for all employees to wear while performing duties that involve contact with other employees and or the public and to post physical distancing plans. The public is required to wear a face covering to enter essential businesses as well. Beaches, trails and trailheads and non-essential businesses remain closed, and all public and private gatherings of any number of people occurring outside a single household or living unit remain prohibited.

How are the numbers calculated. If someone is better are they still concidered a case of infection? if some one dies is the number of cases deduct deaths? I havent known of a person or friendd sick in LA only in New York. Curious
If someone has been confirmed to have been infected, he or she is on the list of infected people. That list includes those who have recovered, those who are struggling with the infection, and those who have died from a confirmed infection. It does not include the very large number of people who likely are infected but are unaware of it.
The numbers in West Hollywood are alarming. That being said, why are people still not following the safety guidelines put in place by the City and State. Masks in public and 6′ social distancing is not a lot to ask. Many people today walking on Santa Monica Boulevard were out without face coverings.
I went out yesterday for a walk around Melrose and Fairfax. Three times I had to go into street to get away from young persons running on sidewalk. I know it’s hard to run and wear a mask, but is it to much to ask when they seen senior out like that for them to move into street?
