Currently, one person dies every 10 minutes in Los Angeles County from COVID-19, however, many of these deaths could be prevented by following public health guidelines, as they are the only effective tools at this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, as of yesterday, 148 new deaths and 13,678 new cases of COVID-19 had been confirmed, representing the second consecutive day in which the highest number of new deaths from the virus has been surpassed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a statement, the county explained that there are currently 6,499 people with COVID-19 hospitalized, while 20 percent of them are in the intensive care unit (ICU), which also represents a new historical maximum. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We extend our deepest condolences to the people of Los Angeles County who have lost a loved one to COVID-19. It is heartbreaking to report that nearly 150 more residents died from this disease, leaving many families to grieve this holiday season,\" said Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We need all residents to follow the security measures to stop this increase. This means staying home and limiting all non-essential activities. When you must leave your home, always wear a mask, stay away from others and wash your hands often,\" he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is worth mentioning that, of the 148 new deaths reported, 51 people were over 80 years old; 45 were between 65 and 79 years old; 28 people were between 50 and 64 years old; 11 people were between 30 and 49 years old and one person who died was between 18 and 29 years old. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the last week, the number of patients hospitalized with COVID-19 increased by more than 1,600 people; while, to date, 677,299 positive cases of COVID-19 have been identified in all areas of the county and a total of 9,299 deaths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the Public Health Department reported two additional cases of multi-systemic inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C), bringing the total number of cases in the county to 51 children, including one child death. Latino children account for nearly 73 percent of the reported cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 51 children with MIS-C in Los Angeles County were hospitalized and nearly 50 percent were treated in the ICU. Of the children with MIS-C, 31 percent were under age 5, 38 percent were between 5 and 11, and 31 percent were between 12 and 20. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It should be noted that MIS-C is an inflammatory condition associated with COVID-19 and symptoms include fever that does not go away and swollen body parts such as heart, lungs, kidneys, brain, skin, eyes, or gastrointestinal organs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
