The number of COVID-positive patients at Los Angeles County hospitals declined by 26 people to 438, reversing a recent trend as county health officials urged residents to be cautious over Memorial Day Weekend.
"As we celebrate Memorial Day this Monday, I'd like to extend my gratitude to all of our armed forces members and their families who have dedicated their lives to protecting us through their military service," county Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer said in a statement issued Friday.
The urging came amid rising infection numbers. The county reported 5,800 new cases and eight more COVID-related deaths Friday, raising the cumulative totals from throughout the pandemic to 2,961,673 and 32,117. "They require a lot of different resources that are of higher intensity, so that in and of itself is more strain on the system," she said.
