There were 379 people currently hospitalized with COVID-19 in L.A. County on Monday, down slightly from the 392 reported Saturday.
Health department data also showed 1,261 new cases reported Saturday, 814 Sunday and 523 Monday. On Saturday, the agency reported 11 new virus-related fatalities, along with 10 Sunday and seven Monday — bringing the cumulative death toll in the county since the pandemic began to 33,915 deaths.
An analysis by the health department found that a vast majority of increases in all-cause mortality were because of COVID-19-associated deaths. The agency said Friday it reviewed COVID-10 and non-COVID-19 mortality rates for four six-month periods — from January through June — from 2019 to 2022, and compared it to the 10-year period ending in 2019, prior to the pandemic, when the all-cause mortality rate had been stable with a slight downward trend.
