California hits 1 million coronavirus cases as L.A. County urges travel quarantine
LA TimesOrange County Health Care Agency personnel conduct testing at the drive-through COVID-19 testing site at the Orange County Fair & Events Center on Thursday, Nov. 12, 2020 in Costa Mesa. Given that it usually takes a few weeks for a crush of cases to result in a corresponding increase in hospitalizations and deaths, Ferrer said that “we most likely haven’t yet seen the full consequence of the surge in cases we recently experienced.” “While we’ve made impressive strides in caring for people who are ill with the virus, this much of an increase in cases may very well result in tremendous suffering and tragic deaths down the road,” she said. “And so that certainly is an indication that we’re concerned and that we have to keep a close watch on what’s happening.” In Alameda County — which was not among those that moved into a more restrictive tier this week — officials said they would hold off on additional reopenings, citing increases in COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations. “We must exercise caution and prepare to move quickly to protect our residents and hospitals from rising cases of COVID-19,” county Health Officer Dr. Nicholas Moss said in a statement. Steinberg acknowledged in a statement posted on Twitter that “it will be harder to resist gathering as the days get cold and dark” and that “we are up against the holidays, up against friend and family traditions to be together.” But he issued a challenge to residents of Sacramento County, which moved this week into the state’s most restrictive reopening tier: “Make new traditions, find safe new ways to be together virtually, to be safe and to be patient.” “We have it in our power to reverse this trend,” he said.
