LAC + USC Medical Center reported just 30 COVID-positive patients Monday, while county health officials said countywide transmission rates are still 'extremely concerning.'
"On behalf of LAC+USC Medical Center, we would like to be very clear: the COVID-19 pandemic remains a very serious
While County Health Services acknowledged the lack of serious cases at LAC+USC Monday, the department pointed out that the increased transmission rates, "are extremely concerning, as the more people who become infected, the greater the probability that ICU admissions for COVID-19 will rise in the future."
LA County Health Services said Monday that severe cases are down mainly due to vaccination efforts against the virus, and that the decreased case severity seen at LAC+USC "should not negate the importance of vaccination and other COVID-19 safety measures, nor should they be used to promote baseless political arguments against such measures."
