By KJ Hiramoto
LOS ANGELES - Health officials in Los Angeles County shared disturbing data involving our frontline workers.
Los Angeles County Public Health director Dr. Barbara Ferrer said during Monday s briefing that the county is seeing 842 new COVID-19 cases from health care workers in the area.
LA County also reported 2,741 new COVID-19 cases while seeing 93 new deaths from the virus across the area on Monday. The new numbers bring up the total number of cases across LA County to 1,149,064 while raising the death toll to 18,135. Officials also specified that Mondays tend to yield lower numbers due to a lag in reporting.
School districts across the Santa Clarita Valley endured an ever-changing school year that included sudden classroom-setting changes, cancelation of events and now a significant decrease in student enrollment which has led to some teachers receiving notices about potential layoffs if the funding situation doesn’t improve.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reduced physical distancing guidelines from 6 feet to 3 feet in a classroom setting, but local school districts cannot make changes until the state and county’s guidance aligns.
Los Angeles County Public Health officials on Friday confirmed 60 new deaths and 756 new cases of COVID-19 countywide, with 26,944 total cases in the Santa Clarita Valley. In addition, nearly 3,235,000 doses of COVID-19 vaccine have been administered to people across Los Angeles County.
