The Los Angeles County Air pollution control officials said on Sunday that it will lift the cremation limit due to the increasing number of COVID-19 deaths.
Los Angeles is the first county in the U.S. that reached more than one million COVID-19 infections since the pandemic began. This also means swelling numbers of hospitalizations and deaths that drained not only the hospitals but also the morgues and funeral homes.
According to the latest data from Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center, Los Angeles County has recorded 1,024,190 COVID-19 infections and with a death toll of 13, 936.
Air quality limits on cremations are temporarily suspended in Los Angeles because of increased demand due to COVID-19. Officials say the death rate is now more than double that of pre-pandemic years.
L.A. County Tells Residents To Wear Masks Inside Own Homes
More insane and looming unconstitutional Covid-lockdown overreach, once again out of hard hit L.A. county where cases are surging:
Things are so bad in Los Angeles County that health officials are now advising all essential workers
to wear masks inside their own home to prevent spreading Covid-19 within their household.
As if instances where some cities across the globe began previously enforcing mask-wearing
outdoors wasn’t bad enough, the L.A. health recommendation now advises people to mask up
inside their own homes.
And it’s not a precaution that says wear a mask in the presence of a confirmed COVID-19 infected house member, which would be understandable, but simply at all times regardless of other family members being sick.
