Los Angeles County continues to make headlines, becoming the epicenter of the COVID-19 pandemic in the state. The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health (Public Health) has confirmed 274 new deaths and 10,392 new cases of COVID-19 as of Dec. 30. In Beverly Hills, there have been 1,575 cases of COVID-19 and 14 deaths. To date, the agency has identified 756,116 positive cases of COVID-19 across all areas of L.A. County, and a total of 10,056 deaths.
“The situation we’re currently facing is very alarming and frankly, the alarm was pulled over a month ago, but people did not heed that warning,” said Los Angeles County Supervisor Hilda Solis during a Dec. 28 briefing. “One person is dying of COVID-19 every ten minutes in LA County. These are figures that can’t be normalized.”
