The Department of Public Health noted that over the course of the past week, all Covid metrics apart from deaths—including cases, hospitalizations and the daily test positivity rate—have been on the decline. Cases are down by 45% from one week ago, when 39,117 were reported, with the number of hospitalizations falling below 4,000 for the first time in more than two weeks, and the daily positivity rate falling below 10% for the first time since December 23.
At the same time, Public Health noted, Covid transmission remains “very high,” which means that taking “common sense safety precautions” to prevent infection remains key, particularly with such events as the NFC Championship game and Lunar New Year celebrations coming up.“With multiple opportunities for gathering and celebrating in the coming days, including cheering on the LA Rams, following sensible safety measures will allow us to continue our recent decline.
