The new fatalities gave the county an overall death toll from throughout the pandemic of 33,975.
Another 2,540 COVID infections were also reported over the three-day period — 1,171 from Saturday, 776 on Sunday and 593 Monday.
The new cases gave the county a cumulative total of 3,488,288. The daily number of new cases is believed to represent an undercount of actual COVID activity in the county, since many people now rely on at-home tests without reporting the results to the county. Updated COVID-related hospitalizations numbers were not immediately available. As of Saturday, there were 365 COVID-positive patients in county hospitals, with 43 of them being treated in intensive care.
County officials have said that roughly 40% of COVID-positive hospital patients were admitted specifically for COVID-19, while the others were hospitalized for other reasons but tested positive upon admission. The seven-day average daily rate of people testing positive for the virus in the county was 3.9% as of Monday, according to the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health.
