L.A. County COVID briefing happening. 274 deaths reported today. 10,392 cases reported today. 7,415 current hospitalizations. Case numbers are down from yesterday, deaths are up, hospitalizations are up.
Ferrer says the new U.K. variant has not yet been found in L.A. County from a small sample. This doesn't mean the variant isn't here.
Dr. Christina Ghaly speaking. Discussing how patients are staying on ambulances and are unable to be put in hospitals. Asking Angelenos to only go to the emergency room or call 911 if you are having a *severe* medical emergency.
Ghaly saying that many county testing sites will be closed on NYE/New Year's Day. Like I said this morning, there is almost nowhere to get a test at those sites rn.
