The 1,123 new cases lifted the cumulative total from throughout the pandemic to 3,673,339.
The daily case numbers released by the county are undercounts of actual virus activity because of people who use at-home tests and don’t report the results, and others who don’t test at all.
“The use of therapeutics, reasonable precautions including masking and testing, and access to the bivalent booster have all helped to put LA County in a good place right now,” Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer said in a statement. “The county is blessed to have the health tools that make a difference and I applaud everyone for using these tools to dampen spread and reduce risk, especially for those most vulnerable.
On Thursday, the third anniversary of the first confirmed COVID-19 infection in the county, Ferrer reported continued declines in overall virus statistics.
