Los Angeles County has seen a record-breaking week when it comes to the rapid spread of the coronavirus.<\/p>\n

More than 4,000 Los Angeles County residents have now died from causes related to COVID-19, and more than 150,000 cases of the virus have been recorded, authorities announced Friday<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Those numbers came on the heels of Thursday\u2019s total of 4,506 new coronavirus cases, which shattered the previous one-day record of 4,244 that was set just two days before<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It was the county\u2019s worst week for new infections since the pandemic began, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti said Friday, with 23,310 new cases soaring past the 17,000 added the week before.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe simple truth of this fight is that this virus is affecting more and more of us every day,\u201d Garcetti said.<\/p>\n

A similar surge is taking place across California, which has now tallied 374,522 confirmed cases of the virus and 7,613 deaths, according to the Los Angeles Times\u2019 California coronavirus tracker<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, the state recorded its highest number of new cases in a single day \u2014 11,142 \u2014 and its second-highest number of deaths \u2014 144.<\/p>\n

Though L.A. County residents still account for more than half of the state\u2019s deaths, they are a declining share of the total number of cases \u2014 about 40% \u2014 compared with closer to 50% in mid-May<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Over the last two weeks, Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties have all reported higher per capita coronavirus case rates than L.A. County, according to a Times analysis.<\/a><\/p>\n

In addition to new cases, hospitalizations also continue to rise. That metric is particularly worrying because too steep a surge in patients could risk overwhelming the healthcare system, experts say.<\/p>\n

L.A. County reported record numbers of confirmed coronavirus patients in its hospitals on Tuesday and again Wednesday. There were 2,122 such patients Friday, with 26% in intensive care and 18% on ventilators. The most recent three-day average of daily hospitalizations represents an increase of 13%, according to the Department of Public Health dashboard that tracks reopening metrics<\/a>. <\/p>\n

In a bid to tamp down the uptick, Gov. Gavin Newsom on June 28 ordered bars closed in L.A. County<\/a> and several others, followed by indoor restaurant dining on July 1<\/a>. Officials have said it will take at least three weeks to learn whether the closures had an effect. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n
