Thursday - April 30, 2020 by Staff Report | No Comments

The number of confirmed COVID-19 infections in West Hollywood has increased by two to a total of 137, according to today’s report from the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health.

The Health Department reported 733 new confirmed COVID-19 infections, bringing the total to 23,182. There have been another 55 deaths, bringing that total to 1,111 thus far. Two West Hollywood residents have died thus far.

Thirty-five people who died were over the age of 65, eight people who died were between the ages of 41 and 65, and three people who died were between the ages of 18 and 40. Thirty-five people had underlying health conditions including 29 people over the age of 65, four people between the ages of 41 and 65, and two people between the ages of 18 and 40.

With 106 confirmed infections, Beverly Hills saw no increase over yesterday’s count. , an increase of one from yesterday’s count. Culver City has 64 confirmed infections, up from 60 yesterday.  The Hollywood neighborhood has four more reported infections, bringing the total to 190.

Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti announced Wednesday that all residents of Los Angeles County now can get free coronavirus testing at city-run sites. Previously, testing was available only to those with symptoms as well as essential workers and in nursing homes and other institutions. However some health experts have questioned how well the public testing process is Los Angeles County actually works. A story in the Los Angeles Times notes that the federal Food and Drug Administration doesn’t prefer that testing process, which involves a quick swab of the throat, and recommends a deeper process in which one inserts a swab deep into the nose.

When it comes to same- or next-day testing, priority will continue to be given to people suffering a fever, cough and shortness of breath. Those who want to book a testing appointment can do so online. 

The best protection against COVID-19 is to wash your hands frequently, avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands, self-isolate if you are sick, practice physical distancing (especially by staying at home) and wear a clean 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 and essential workers providing care for people who are ill.

Essential businesses must 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 physical distancing plans. The public is required to wear a face covering to enter essential businesses as well. Beaches, trails and trailheads and non-essential businesses remain closed, and all public and private gatherings of any number of people occurring outside a single household or living unit remain prohibited.

Residents with questions about the COVID-19 pandemic and who are looking for resources to deal with it can find answers on the City of West Hollywood’s  website.  Here is a list of links to sections about particular issues:
