Los Angeles County reported 644 new cases of COVID- 19 and seven additional deaths Saturday, as the county’s rate of infections continued to grow alarmingly over the last several days.
Hospitalizations due to COVID-19 inched up from 275 on Friday to 278, with the number of COVID patients in ICU units in the county dropping from 72 to 70, according to state figures.
Saturday’s figures brought the county’s totals to 1,251,848 cases and 24,498 fatalities since the pandemic began, according to the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health.
Health officials say the recent increase is being fueled by the rise in COVID-19 variants, particularly the more contagious Delta variant. They added that with four million residents in L.A. County still unvaccinated and a tripling of cases over the past week, there is enough risk for the Delta variant to pose a significant threat.

LOS ANGELES (CNS) - Los Angeles County has reported its highest daily number of new COVID-19 infections since mid-April, continuing an upward trend that began following the statewide lifting of health restrictions, and which could be driven in part by spread of a highly contagious coronavirus variant.
According to numbers released Thursday by the county Department of Public Health, 506 new COVID-19 cases were reported, more than double the average daily number the county was reporting in mid-June, when the state and county virus restrictions were lifted.
The county s rate of people testing positive for the virus held steady at 1.2% on Thursday, but that s triple the rate the county was reporting on June 12, and a jump from the 0.8% rate reported just last Friday.
