LA County COVID-19 hospitalizations nearly double in 2 weeks
NY Post
Los Angeles County is seeing an uptick in COVID-19-related hospitalizations, with the number of patients nearly doubling over the last two weeks, health officials said. The spike is being blamed on the “more aggressive delta variant” as well as low vaccination rates in certain communities and “more intermingling of unmasked individuals.”
On July 12, LA County had 372 hospitalizations, whereas on Monday, when LA Public Health posted its news release, the area was reporting 745. A day later, the hospitalizations jumped to 825 and officials reported 2,067 new cases. Officials noted a ninefold increase in cases in adults between ages 18 and 29 years old over the last month.More Related News
