As of noon today, 54 West Hollywood residents have been confirmed to have been infected with the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). The latest number, an increase from 52 on Sunday, means one in every 682 residents has been diagnosed as being infected, and many more are likely to have been infected but not yet showing symptoms. As the number of infections has increased, so are demands by some local residents that city government do more to address the issue.
The number of infections confirmed in Los Angeles County is 2,474, an increase of 16% from the 2,136 announced by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health on Sunday. Forty-four people have died of the COVID-19 infection.
In its announcement of the infections today, the Health Department included a calculation of the number of people per 100,000 infected in each of the cities and communities in Los Angeles County. That calculation of 148.05 infections per 100,000 put West Hollywood just behind the Los Angeles neighborhood of Beverly Crest, which had 153.29 infections per 100,000 residents, the most of any city or community in L.A. County.
The Health Department apparently is using old Census data in making its calculations. WEHOville is using the 2019 population estimates of the U.S. Census bureau, which means there can be slight differences in calculations of number of infections per resident.
The Melrose neighborhood on the southern border of West Hollywood, which had 56 confirmed infections on Sunday, saw a huge increase in today, with 82 reported. There were 28 infections reported in Beverly Hills, up from 24 on Sunday, and 14 in Culver City, up from nine previously reported. The Hollywood neighborhood had a reported 49 infections as of today, an increase from the 44 counted as of Sunday.
Forty percent of those infected were between the ages of 41 and 65, according to L.A. County Health Department data, which doesn’t include cases in Long Beach and Pasadena, which have their own health departments. Those ages 18 to 40 accounted for 39% of the infections, and those 65 and over accounted for 20% of the infections. Just one percent of those diagnosed as infected were under the age of 18.
With the steady rise in infections in West Hollywood there has been an outcry from some residents who say the city isn’t doing enough to address the pandemic.
“Our fair city seems to have been just as sorely unprepared for this health crisis as other cities and the federal government, which is very disheartening,” said Stephanie Harker, a resident of West Hollywood’s Eastside, in an email to City Council members and others in the community.
“The ‘exploring options’ should have been done months/years ago,” Harker wrote, in a reference to the response from City Hall about some issues like providing access to testing. “The time to make plans for an emergency is NOT a few weeks after the emergency rears its ugly head. What ARE the city’s emergency plans, if in a day, a week or a month there is an earthquake or a blackout DURING the health crisis? The lack of long-range planning is appalling and downright scary. We need some (pre-emptive) action.”
Larry Block, a local retailer who is also a candidate in the Nov. 3 City Council election, has taken to social media to denounce the City of West Hollywood for not providing face masks to protect residents from the virus, which is transmitted by microscopic droplets from coughs and sneezes of those infected. Block has begun selling masks that he imported from China (and giving them for free to West Hollywood residents who are seniors, ill or disabled.) Block and Manny Rodriquez, a West Hollywood West resident, also have been pushing the City Council and City Manager Paul Arevalo to give residents access to testing kits so they can find out if they are infected by the virus, which can have few to no symptoms among some people who nevertheless can transmit it to others.
Health experts generally have recommended supplying medical masks only to healthcare workers who are dealing directly with people who are or seem to be infected with the COVID-19 virus, citing a shortage of supply. However, more masks are becoming available and experts now are saying that medical masks may offer some small benefit to those who find themselves near people on the sidewalk who cough or sneeze. Health experts also recommend that kits for testing for the COVID-19 infection, which also have been in short supply, be used only with those who show symptoms of infection with the recommendation of a doctor. The City of Los Angeles has provided a link to testing services for those who are ill. To be eligible for testing, one must have symptoms of infection and be 65 or over, or have symptoms and have chronic health issues, or have been ordered to quarantine themselves for 14 days because of exposure to someone who has been infected by COVID-19. City Councilmember Lindsey Horvath says she has been in discussions with Sheila Kuehl, the Los Angeles County Supervisor whose 3rd District includes West Hollywood, about having the county provide access to testing for West Hollywood residents,
Today residents also complained to City Hall about the closure of the SOVA food pantry at 8846 W. Pico Blvd. at Robertson, where people who cannot afford to buy food can go to pick up a five-day supply of free groceries and personal hygiene products. The City of West Hollywood subsidizes the SOVA pantry. Those who go to the Pico Boulevard location now are told to go to the SOVA pantry in Van Nuys, which is located in the Valley. However, SOVA has said that it will continue to make food available every other Friday at 800 N. Kings Rd. between Willoughby and Waring, where it has routinely offered food to residents of that and two adjacent public housing projects.
David Guigni, the city’s Social Services manager, has called out other options such as Project Angel Food, which delivers food to those in need, and the L.A. LGBT Center, which provides lunches to seniors that can be picked up at the Harry & Jeanette Weinberg Senior Center at the Center’s headquarters at 1118 N. McCadden Place in Los Angeles.
While the City of West Hollywood has been criticized for not doing enough, it has taken number of actions. On March 16 the City Council voted to declare a state of emergency. “The city’s ability to mobilize local resources, coordinate interagency response, accelerate procurement of vital supplies, use mutual aid, and allow for future reimbursement by the state and federal governments, are critical to successfully responding to COVID-19,” said a memo from City Manager Paul Arevalo describing the need for the state of emergency declaration.
Since then, city also has added to its website a number of resources for residents dealing with the impact of the pandemic. That includes information on the city’s moratorium on evictions and links to Southern California Edison and Southern California Gas offers of utility payment assistance. For older adults, the city’s website offers links to nonprofit organizations that can help one pay the rent, grocery stores with special hours for seniors, and links to the websites of nonprofits like the Los Angeles LGBT Center and Jewish Family Services that offer special service to older people. For those who are out of work, it offers links to federal, state, and nonprofit organization websites with unemployment resources and to a list of Los Angeles companies that are looking to hire. There also are links to resources for families with children and for small businesses.

This is LOS ANGELES COUNTY LED PUBLIC HEALTH PANDEMIC.
What could the City do for the Residents. The history is long and unchanged. Nothing besides U kept promises and over development.
I’m more scared what will happen when the City has lost hundreds of millions dollars it’s used to collecting… And spending at unbelievable rates.
Up parking fines, residential permit fees, MORE! sales tax??
My letter was NOT actually about the lack of testing as I am aware that the County and not the city, is calling the shots on that. Although it would be good for all people to know that. My biggest concern is about the lack of access to food for an increasing number of people who are in need. I believe about nine years ago Weho HAD a food bank that ultimately had to move out of West Hollywood because the rent was too high. Nothing has been done to replace it. I hope that the current crisis will wake… Read more »
I think the “Sova Food Bank” is in & for weho residents. But it is scary. I get a need not to hoard, but Trader Joe’s is amazing with keeping the store stocked. But The limit of 2 of any item, means I will have to go out way more often to shop. But BIG THANKS TO ALL THE TRADER JOE’S STAFF. I am scared for all the employees I’ve come to know for decades. I wish they would give employees perhaps a clear plastic shield (even if not “certified” it would be some protection especially at the registers O… Read more »
Well said!
“Yesterday, as the number of deaths continued to rise, the rules were tightened. No cars on the streets without the legal form stating where you began and where you’re going, which can only be for medical visits, pharmacies, or grocery shopping. Which is fine, as most everything else is closed. Leaving the house without a good reason is forbidden, as taking public transportation without the legal form. Police are everywhere asking where people are going and checking the forms, which can be downloaded from the Net. No one is allowed to go out for a walk or other exercise, though… Read more »
Helpful if you would have put the “This email from a friend in Barcelona” at the TOP of your comment…..Geez!
We have a TV. thanks
Thank you for that. If anyone in this fair city cares enough to be informed, please wean yourself from domestic news and opinion givers and view DW from Berlin, NHK Tokyo, BBC, France 24 synthesize it and get some relevance from PBS. These sources seem to focus on people making practical, positive gains through grim statistics.
It also helps to be vigilant and have the fortitude to take charge of one’s own health and well being rather than absorbed by the Medical Industrial Complex who will manage you for a profit.
Dear all, the WHCHC Office is a public space for public benefit open to the public for public good according to it’s 5013c ability to operate as a nonprofit under California state and IRS title 42 law. Hence the ability to not pay taxes legally. That space has been unused and according to their own posting will continue to be unused and not available to the public through April 20th I have a great idea let’s open up that office right away and start a food bank or collition for West Hollywood community members I am sure WHCHC would be… Read more »
Just stay home and relax. Enough complaining.

That is a wrong statement above that Manny or myself are asking for test kits. The County has tests for those w symptoms. The City of LA is about 40% of the county.

The list continues for unimaginable spending.
54 infections but how many hospitalizations? Does anyone have this important data?
It is a very serious trend. And all in the same area.
What do these people have in common?
Thank you for the details.
Most likely they’re one of (or ones unfortunate enough to come in contact with), the hordes of people who thought it was no big deal and were determined to not give up their Sunday Funday on March 15. The order to close didn’t go into effect until midnight and many restaurants/bars chose to not open that day or closed early. The few that did stay open were packed & overflowing even though it with the knowledge that COVID-19 was a major issue.
