L.A. County Reports Fewest Daily Deaths Since Late-March

Another 18 deaths were confirmed by Los Angeles County Department of Public Health officials on Monday, bringing the county's death toll to 1,839. That's the fewest number of deaths reported since late-March.

Of the 18 new deaths, 15 people who died were over the age of 65 years old and three people who died were between the ages of 41 to 65 years old. At least 15 people had underlying health conditions.

Dr. Barbara Ferrer the director of the County's Department of Public Health also reported another 477 new cases of COVID-19, bringing the countywide total to 38,351.

While many of the restrictions imposed by stay-at-home orders have been eased in recent days, Dr. Ferrer cautioned residents from becoming complacent, as crowds begin to reappear in public spaces.

"Because many more people are out than even a week ago, the risk for spreading COVID-19 is greater," Ferrer said Monday afternoon. "It is so important that we all continue to practice physical distancing and wearing cloth face coverings at all times when we are out and around other people to help prevent sharp increase in cases, hospitalizations and deaths."

  • Los Angeles County: 38,351 cases - 1,839 deaths
