Today’s soaring number of hospitalizations and confirmed COVID-19 infections suggests Los Angeles County is far from reaching the leveling off that health officials have been hoping for.
The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health today reported that 2,193 people are in the hospital with COVID-19 related illness, the highest number reported in a single day. The three-day average of hospitalizations now is 2,084, more people hospitalized each day than at any previous point during the pandemic.
The Health Department has confirmed 2,758 new COVID-19 infections and 44 COVID-19 related deaths as of today. At the beginning of June the seven-day average of new infections was 1,452. Now it has doubled to 2,859 cases a day. The Health Department has identified 143,009 positive COVID-19 infections across Los Angeles County and a total of 3,932 deaths.
According to the Health Department’s database, as of today five staff members at Katana, the restaurant at 8349 Sunset Blvd., have been confirmed to be infected. It is one of only two places in WeHo where the Health Department has listed confirmed infections. The other is the West Hollywood Sheriff’s Station, where five employees have been infected. In Beverly Hills, the Health Department report three employees infected at Gallery Michael at 224 N. Rodeo Drive and at the Watermark of Beverly Hills assisted living center at 220 N. Clark Drive, one staff member and two residents have been confirmed to be infected and one resident has died of a COVID-19 related illness.

Question: Every night people come to places like Zinque and sit outside no masks and not social distanced chatting for hours. They then return to their homes and families. Question: are their code requirements and has anyone in WeHo ever been cited for not wearing a mask?
Last evening on Fountain, an unmasked girl was walking towards a Sheriff Deputy on a motorcycle parked at the curb. He looked at her, she picked up the pace and then ran East, he took off to the West.
Mission Accomplished. Idiocy.
Perfect opportunity for the deputy to issue a friendly reminder and make a connection about her safety, the safety of others and the friendliness of the Sheriff.
