New COVID-19 Cases in Los Angeles County More than Double from Yesterday to 6,509 New Cases

Today, Public Health confirmed 6,509 new cases, 162 additional Omicron cases, and 16 additional deaths of COVID-19. The increase in cases represents more than double yesterday's case count. This steep increase, one of the steepest rises we have ever seen over the course of the pandemic, reflects the increased circulation of Omicron and the associated rapid acceleration of transmission associated with this variant.  

Today's positivity rate is 4.5%. One week ago, the test positivity rate was 1.9%.
