*Residents Encouraged to Take Safety Precautions Over Labor Day Weekend to Avoid Infecting Others*
2,090 New Positive Cases and 14 New Deaths Due to COVID-19 in Los Angeles County
With many people traveling or gathering over the upcoming Labor Day holiday weekend, there are a number of safety measures residents should take to protect themselves and their community from COVID-19.
With the continued high rate of transmission, the likelihood that residents will encounter someone with COVID during the holiday weekend remains elevated.? At the county?s current COVID-19 case rate [ [link removed] ] of roughly 200 weekly cases per 100,000 residents, there is about a 30% chance that at least one person is infected in a gathering of 50 people.
Testing before and after traveling and before gathering with people, especially indoors with others who are at higher risk, are important safety measures to take to reduce a cycle of transmission. ?
Residents are encouraged to use over-the-counter (OTC) FDA-approved tests. OTC antigen tests provide results in a few minutes, as opposed to laboratory-based PCR tests that may take several days to process. Free OTC tests can be picked up at Department of Public Health vaccination sites, the seven?Public Health Points of Dispensing (PODs), schools, community partners in areas hard hit by the pandemic, skilled nursing facilities, community clinics, pharmacies, and LA County libraries.
Additionally, at-home tests can be ordered at no charge from the federal government until Sept. 2 at?www.covidtests.gov [ [link removed] ]. Note that the free program is being suspended due to lack of funding to replenish the nation?s stockpile of tests. Residents who have health insurance can also receive eight free at-home tests each month for each insured member in their household.
If residents purchase an OTC test from a pharmacy, store, or online retailer and are charged for their test, they should keep their receipt, and submit a claim to their insurance company for reimbursement.
Individuals with any questions should talk with their health care provider to make sure they understand their viral test results and any next steps. Those without easy access to a health care provider who have questions about their test result and what to do next, can call the Public Health COVID-19 information line at 1-833-540-0473, seven days a week, 8:00 am to 8:30 pm.
With an extreme heat event forecasted for the holiday weekend, many will be gathering with others indoors.? Maximizing indoor ventilation by keeping windows and doors open as much as possible, using portable fans near open windows to bring fresh air in and blow away stale air, or if you have an air system running it at full capacity, will be critically important.? Additional layers of protection when indoors include testing before gathering and wearing a well-fitting high filtration mask, especially if gathering with those more vulnerable. ?Residents who are sick, including those with mild symptoms, should stay home away from others to avoid infecting anyone.
?I send my deepest sympathies and wishes of peace and comfort to the many families who have lost a loved one from COVID-19,? said Barbara Ferrer, PhD, MPH, MEd, Director of Public Health. "?"As many people plan to gather with others this Labor Day holiday for barbecues, get-togethers and vacations, individuals should be sure to follow simple safety measures to keep each other safe. Although we are in a much better place now than we were just a couple of months ago, COVID -19 is still a dangerous virus for some of our family members, work colleagues, and friends. ?Common-sense precautions reduce both bad outcomes from the virus and disruptions associated with highly transmissible subvariants.??
Today, Public Health reported 14 additional deaths and 2,090?new positive cases. Of the 14 new deaths reported today, one person was between the ages of 30-49, three people were between the ages of 50-64, three people were between the ages of 65-79, and seven people were aged 80 years or older.?Of the 14 newly reported deaths, all had underlying health conditions. To date, the total number of deaths in L.A. County is 33,138.
Public Health has reported a total of 3,405,184 positive cases of COVID-19 across all areas of L.A. County. Today?s positivity rate is 8.1%.
There are 841 people with COVID-19 currently hospitalized. ?Testing results are available for more than 12,464,428 individuals, with 24% of people testing positive.

**For Immediate Release**
August 30, 2022
*Residents Encouraged to Take Safety Precautions Over Labor Day Weekend to Avoid Infecting Others*
2,090 New Positive Cases and 14 New Deaths Due to COVID-19 in Los Angeles County
With many people traveling or gathering over the upcoming Labor Day holiday weekend, there are a number of safety measures residents should take to protect themselves and their community from COVID-19.
With the continued high rate of transmission, the likelihood that residents will encounter someone with COVID during the holiday weekend remains elevated.? At the county?s current COVID-19 case rate [ [link removed] ] of roughly 200 weekly cases per 100,000 residents, there is about a 30% chance that at least one person is infected in a gathering of 50 people.
Testing before and after traveling and before gathering with people, especially indoors with others who are at higher risk, are important safety measures to take to reduce a cycle of transmission. ?
Residents are encouraged to use over-the-counter (OTC) FDA-approved tests. OTC antigen tests provide results in a few minutes, as opposed to laboratory-based PCR tests that may take several days to process. Free OTC tests can be picked up at Department of Public Health vaccination sites, the seven?Public Health Points of Dispensing (PODs), schools, community partners in areas hard hit by the pandemic, skilled nursing facilities, community clinics, pharmacies, and LA County libraries.
Additionally, at-home tests can be ordered at no charge from the federal government until Sept. 2 at?www.covidtests.gov [ [link removed] ]. Note that the free program is being suspended due to lack of funding to replenish the nation?s stockpile of tests. Residents who have health insurance can also receive eight free at-home tests each month for each insured member in their household.
If residents purchase an OTC test from a pharmacy, store, or online retailer and are charged for their test, they should keep their receipt, and submit a claim to their insurance company for reimbursement.
Individuals with any questions should talk with their health care provider to make sure they understand their viral test results and any next steps. Those without easy access to a health care provider who have questions about their test result and what to do next, can call the Public Health COVID-19 information line at 1-833-540-0473, seven days a week, 8:00 am to 8:30 pm.
With an extreme heat event forecasted for the holiday weekend, many will be gathering with others indoors.? Maximizing indoor ventilation by keeping windows and doors open as much as possible, using portable fans near open windows to bring fresh air in and blow away stale air, or if you have an air system running it at full capacity, will be critically important.? Additional layers of protection when indoors include testing before gathering and wearing a well-fitting high filtration mask, especially if gathering with those more vulnerable. ?Residents who are sick, including those with mild symptoms, should stay home away from others to avoid infecting anyone.
?I send my deepest sympathies and wishes of peace and comfort to the many families who have lost a loved one from COVID-19,? said Barbara Ferrer, PhD, MPH, MEd, Director of Public Health. "?"As many people plan to gather with others this Labor Day holiday for barbecues, get-togethers and vacations, individuals should be sure to follow simple safety measures to keep each other safe. Although we are in a much better place now than we were just a couple of months ago, COVID -19 is still a dangerous virus for some of our family members, work colleagues, and friends. ?Common-sense precautions reduce both bad outcomes from the virus and disruptions associated with highly transmissible subvariants.??
Today, Public Health reported 14 additional deaths and 2,090?new positive cases. Of the 14 new deaths reported today, one person was between the ages of 30-49, three people were between the ages of 50-64, three people were between the ages of 65-79, and seven people were aged 80 years or older.?Of the 14 newly reported deaths, all had underlying health conditions. To date, the total number of deaths in L.A. County is 33,138.
Public Health has reported a total of 3,405,184 positive cases of COVID-19 across all areas of L.A. County. Today?s positivity rate is 8.1%.
There are 841 people with COVID-19 currently hospitalized. ?Testing results are available for more than 12,464,428 individuals, with 24% of people testing positive.
