On Saturday, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health reported 15 new deaths resulting from COVID-19 and 285 new positive cases.
While the number of hospitalizations continues to decrease across the County as vaccines are doled out, the number of deaths and confirmed cases reported may reflect delays in weekend reporting.
The numbers reported today by Public Health bring the County to a total of 24,390 deaths and 1,244,917 confirmed cases.
