non-essential businesses remain closed. The Order also requires essential
businesses to provide a cloth face covering for all employees to wear while
performing duties that involve contact with other employees and or the public
and to post their physical distancing plans. The public is also required to wear

| Los Angeles County Announces 25 New Deaths Related to 2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) - 456 New Cases of Confirmed COVID-19 in Los Angeles County |
| LOS ANGELES –The Los Angeles
County Department of Public Health (Public Health) has confirmed 25 new deaths
and 456 new cases of 2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19). Over the last 48 hours,
there have been 931 new cases. Twenty-one people who died were over the age of
65 and two people between the ages of 41 to 65 years old; 21 people who died had
underlying health conditions. Two deaths were reported by the City of
Pasadena.
To date, Public Health has identified 8,873 cases across
all areas of LA County, including 265 deaths. Eighty three percent of people who
died had underlying health conditions. Of those who died, information about race
and ethnicity is available for 201 people; 32% of deaths occurred among Latinx
residents, 32% among White residents, 20% among Asian residents, 13% among
African American residents, and 3% among residents identifying with other races.
Upon further investigation, 13 cases and one death reported earlier were not LA
County residents. As of today, 2,172 people who tested positive for COVID-19
(24% of positive cases) have been hospitalized at some point during their
illness. Testing capacity continues to increase in LA County, with testing
results available for over 45,000 individuals and 14% of people testing
positive. "As people of different faiths come together this weekend, my thoughts and prayers are with all those who are experiencing loss, illness and distress associated with the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Barbara Ferrer, PhD, MPH, MEd, Director of Public Health. “I want to thank all our faith leaders who are tending to the spiritual needs of their members and exercising creative ways to ensure fellowship from a physical distance. And I want to express my gratitude to all the people of LA County who are finding ways of observing their faith while staying safe at home.” The best community and individual defense against COVID-19 is to wash your hands frequently, avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands, avoid being around sick people, practice physical distancing, especially by staying at home, and wear a face covering when out in the public procuring or providing essential services. N95 and surgical masks should only be used by healthcare workers, first responders, essential workers providing care for people who are ill, and people who are ill. Public Health reminds everyone that if you are ill, even with mild symptoms, please self- isolate at home for 7 days and until you are fever and symptom free for 72 hours. If you have been in close contact with a person who has tested positive for COVID-19 or is presumed to be infected with COVID-19, you must quarantine for 14 days from your last contact with that individual. Individuals who are elderly, have underlying health conditions or are pregnant may be at higher risk of serious illness and should contact their doctor as soon as they are sick.
