According to state figures, there were 1,171 COVID-positive patients in county hospitals as of Friday, up from 1,164 a day earlier. Of those patients, 131 were being treated in intensive care units…

Another 4,744 COVID-19 infections were reported on Friday, Dec. 2, by Los Angeles County, continuing a surge in daily cases that could soon lead to a renewed requirement for people to wear masks at all indoor public spaces.

The average daily number of COVID-positive patients in county hospitals was 1,056 as of Friday, up 39% from a week ago. “In some ways this surge is likely to be different — we know more about COVID, have tools to help mitigate severe outcomes, and we are more aware of symptoms and when to take action.
