SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Los Angeles County’s public health director said Wednesday the county has surpassed 10,000 deaths from the coronavirus.
Dr. Barbara Ferrer said there have been 10,056 deaths and more than 7,400 people remain hospitalized with coronavirus in the county, with 20% of them in intensive care units.
The milestone came the same day Gov. Gavin Newsom announced an “unprecedented” high of 432 reported deaths, a figure that was likely elevated due to a lag in reporting over the holidays.
