Los Angeles County reported 138 more COVID-19 deaths and another 15,701 new cases Saturday, as the county surpassed the 800,000-case mark.
A significant number of deaths reported Saturday were from the backlog associated with the Spectrum outage and Christmas holiday reporting delays, according to the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health.
To date, there have been 10,682 deaths and 806,210 coronavirus cases. The case load has doubled in the last month.
The number of coronavirus patients in county hospitals rose to 7,627 people, and 21% of them are in the ICU. Conditions continue to worsen at hospitals in the county, with ambulances waiting up to eight hours to off-load patients, leading to a shortage of paramedic crews on the streets and longer 911 response times.

Shortly after Gov. Gavin Newsom announced the new variant of the coronavirus is circulating somewhere in Southern California, leaders of the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health said no trace has been found in L.A. County to date.
“Our public health lab completed genome sequencing on 26 positive test samples, and we did not find any evidence of the U.K. under investigation… But this doesn’t mean that the variant is not circulating in L.A. County,” Director of Public Health Barbara Ferrer said during a media briefing Wednesday. “We have thousands and thousands of people getting tested every day and we’re just able to sample a small number of those tests results and do the gene sequencing. What it means is, as of right now, we didn’t find this variant in the first set of samples.”
