The number of COVID-positive patients in county hospitals, meanwhile, fell to 1,053 on Friday, down from 1,119 on Thursday.
Of those patients, 137 were being treated in intensive care units, up slightly from 133 a day earlier.
Health officials have stressed, however, that the official number of cases is an undercount, due to the large number of people who rely on at-home tests without reporting the results to the county. Other people don’t test at all, despite being possibly infected, officials said.“Every day we strive to make choices that are best for us, our families, and the communities we live in,” county Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer said in a statement Friday.
Ferrer said the seven-day average daily number of new virus infections in the county was about 1,900 as of Thursday, down from about 2,300 at the beginning of January. The county is averaging 162 virus-related hospital admissions per day, down from 192 in late December and from 211 in early January, she said.
