Los Angeles County Public Health officials on Monday confirmed 21 new deaths and 943 new cases of COVID-19 countywide, while Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital in Valencia reported two new deaths, bringing the hospital’s total up to 140 deaths since the pandemic began. The lower number of deaths and cases may reflect reporting delays over the weekend. To date, Public Health identified 1,181,403 positive cases of COVID-19 across all areas of L.A. County and a total of 19,904 deaths. The SCV has now tallied 25,693 COVID-19 cases — 305 more than Friday — and 251 deaths since L.A. county’s first confirmed COVID-19 infection was reported by Public Health officials on January 26, 2020.
