The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health confirmed Thursday three new deaths and 1,537 new cases of COVID-19, with 28,705 total cases in the Santa Clarita Valley.
As Los Angeles County sees more than a seven-times increase in new cases since the June 15 reopening, the Los Angeles County Health Officer Order will be modified to require masking for everyone while indoors, regardless of vaccination status.
To date, Public Health identified 1,262,578 positive cases of COVID-19 across all areas of L.A. County and a total of 24,566 deaths. Of the three new deaths reported Thursday, one person that passed away was over the age of 80, and two people who passed were between the ages of 50 and 64. Testing results are available for more than 7,142,000 individuals with 16% of people testing positive. There are 406 people with COVID-19 currently hospitalized and 22% of these people are in the ICU.

The Hyperion Water Reclamation Plant, a sewage treatment plant on Santa Monica Bay, was forced to release untreated sewage via a conduit that deposited it a mile (1.6 kilometers) offshore and barely 50 feet (15.2 meters) below the ocean s surface on Sunday, according to operators. (The plant s standard pipe dumps treated sewage into the ocean five miles [eight kilometers] offshore and 190 feet [58 meters] deep.) According to a Hyperion spokesman, it was the most sewage discharged out of that single small pipe in a decade. According to the plant s managers, the leak accounted for just 6% of the plant s daily sewage load.

Amid rising hospitalizations, deaths and new COVID-19 cases fueled by the delta variant, Los Angeles County public health officials are reinstituting an indoor mask mandate. Starting just before midnight on Saturday, everyone indoors no matter their vaccination status will be required to wear a face covering, unless they are eating or drinking.
“This is an all-hands-on-deck moment,” said Los Angeles County Public Health Officer Dr. Muntu Davis at a Thursday afternoon press conference. “We’re seeing the rates go up too high. We all need to do our part to try and prevent the need to do something else.”
