4,566 coronavirus cases, 89 deaths reported in Los Angeles County
LOS ANGELES - The number of coronavirus cases in Los Angeles County rose to 4,566 on Friday, with a total of 89 deaths.
The county's health department reported an additional 11 deaths and 521 confirmed cases since the day prior.
Of the newly reported deaths, seven were over the age of 65 with underlying health conditions, one was between the ages of 18 and 40 with underlying health conditions, and three between the ages of 41 and 65, two of which had underlying health conditions.
The county's mortality rate rose to 1.9%, according to Los Angeles County Public Health Director Dr. Barbara Ferrer
Public Health officials said that more than 26,000 people in the county have been tested for COVID-19. Out of everyone tested, roughly 12% to 13% test positive.
The county's goal is to conduct 10,000 tests a day with a projected 10% of those tested being positive, which means the county should expect 1,000 new cases a day, according to Public Health.
Officials said that across the county, there are currently 1,627 open hospital beds and 286 open beds in intensive care units.

Public Health continues to stress to the public that while a majority of those who have died from COVID-19 in the county had underlying health conditions, not everyone does. Residents are urged to continue to take the necessary precautions in order to protect themselves from the virus.
Health officials say that social distancing remains our best defense against the virus, and all residents are instructed to abide by current measures in place across the state. Social distancing is not only about preventing the illness itself, but rather, slowing the rate at which people get sick.
On Wednesday, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti recommended Angelenos wear non-medical grade face masks or facial coverings when they are in public and interacting with others.

Both Garcetti and Dr. Ferrer requested the public refrain from purchasing N95 respirator masks so that medical professionals and first responders can have access to them.
Ferrer recommended that non-medical professionals wear masks that are home-made, in order to protect the supply of N95 masks for healthcare workers.

"This can be a scarf, a bandana or masks that are made out of pieces of fabric," she said.
By doing so, you will help reduce the number of droplets that come out of your mouth, that might contaminate others, even if you do not show any symptoms of COVID-19.
But health officials were quick to remind residents that while it might be a good idea to cover your nose and mouth while out, "the mask will not protect you 100% particularly from infecting others," said Ferrer.
Dr. Sonia Angell, the Director of the California Department of Public Health, said that wearing masks in public is not a substitute for physical distancing and not a substitute for a stay at home order.

This comes as more evidence is emerging that coronavirus infections are being spread by people who have no clear symptoms. On Wednesday, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention changed how it was defining risk of infection for Americans, saying anyone may be a considered a carrier, whether they have symptoms or not.
In accordance with new guidelines from the CDC, Public Health said that anyone who begins to experience symptoms must contact those they were in contact with up to 48 hours prior to having symptoms in order for them to self-isolate.
Public Health requests that anyone who experiences any symptoms of COVID-19 to self-isolate for the 14-day quarantine period in order to help slow the spread.
According to the CDC, symptoms of the virus include fever, coughing and shortness of breath. Anyone who experiences these symptoms should call their healthcare provider or local public health department first before seeking medical care so that appropriate precautions can be taken.

Public Health has issued the following guidance during this time of increased spread:
"If you are mildly sick, stay home for at least seven days or until 72 hours after being fever free, whichever is longer. Call your doctor if you are concerned and/or your symptoms worsen. Individuals who are elderly, have underlying health conditions or pregnant should consider contacting their providers earlier when they are sick."
