LA County Coronavirus Deaths Reach 600; 12,341 Cases Confirmed
Deaths from COVID-19 reached 600 in Los Angeles County Sunday as 24 new fatalities were confirmed — one day after the deadliest day so far.
LOS ANGELES, CA — Officials reported 24 more deaths from coronavirus and 334 newly confirmed cases in Los Angeles County Sunday, bringing the county's totals to 12,341 cases and 600 deaths.
The new numbers were grim, but better than Saturday, when the county reported its highest one-day death total during the entire pandemic, with 81 fatalities.
"Though there are promising signs that our collective efforts to stop the spread of COVID-19 are working, we are sad to report today that more Angelenos have lost their lives to COVID-19, and their loved ones are in our hearts as they mourn," Dr. Barbara Ferrer, director of the county Department of Public Health, said Sunday.

As of Sunday, 3,387 people who tested positive for COVID-19 -- the disease caused by the coronavirus -- have been hospitalized at some point during their illness.
Testing capacity continues to increase in the county, with results available for more than 79,000 individuals and 15% of people testing positive, Ferrer said.
On Friday, Ferrer said 20 nursing homes or care facilities have had outbreaks of 20 or more people testing positive, and the county has asked for help from state and federal officials to control the virus' spread and ensure affected facilities are fully staffed.
Well over half of the skilled nursing facilities identified by California officials as having experienced one or more cases of COVID-19 are in Los Angeles County.
Of the 261 facilities on the California Department of Health list, 148 are located in Los Angels County.
The department's website said the list is a snapshot representing 86% of the state's 1,224 skilled-nursing facilities that have reported data within the last 24 hours.
New COVID-19 testing sites are expected to open Monday in Bell, downtown Los Angeles, Montebello and Whittier, and a site is also coming this week in Carson, county officials said.
