56 New Coronavirus Deaths In LA County As Protests Continue

LOS ANGELES, CA — Los Angeles County health officials reported 1,329 newly confirmed cases of COVID-19 and 56 additional deaths Saturday, bringing the county's totals to 62,338 cases and 2,620 fatalities.

The virus has remained stubbornly present in Los Angeles County, which has been rocked by protests against police violence over the past week.

Still, Ferrer said the high numbers of cases aren't all bad news, because they allow health care workers to trace contacts and advise those who might otherwise spread the infection to self-isolate. Only about 4.5% of those getting tested are testing positive, she said.

The percentage of people dying who had underlying health conditions remained high, at 94%, leading Ferrer to caution vulnerable residents to continue to stay home even as more businesses begin to open and to call a doctor at the first sign of symptoms.

The data available on race and ethnicity continued to reveal much higher rates of deaths among black residents and those living in poverty.

While Latino residents represent 41% of total COVID-19 deaths countywide, it is more telling to look at those deaths in context of the overall population. Based on that analysis, the death rate for Latino residents is 29 per 100,000 people, as compared with 31 per 100,000 people for black residents -- both much higher than the 15 per 100,000 white residents.

Asians die at a rate of 21 per 100,000, while the numbers for Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders with COVID-19 are dying at a rate of 30 per 100,000 people.
