It's a major concern for health officials: Despite a recent drop in cases, Los Angeles County is reporting a jump in the number of COVID-19 infections of more than 100% in the past month.

L.A. County remains in the "high'' COVID activity category with an average daily new case rate of 204 per 100,000 residents. We could go back to the "medium" level if that number drops below 200 per 100,000 residents.L.A. County Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer credits a 7% drop in daily hospital admissions to COVID medications and booster shots, which can significantly reduce serious illness. Yet in the big picture, hospital bed space remains a critical concern.

"Everyone is encouraged to take steps to curb transmission of respiratory viruses, and that includes masking in indoor public spaces and staying home when you're sick," she said. This week also marks the 20th pediatric death from COVID in L.A. County, although officials did not release any more details.
