On Sunday, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health recorded 3,123 new cases of Covid-19 and 89 new deaths. The lower number of deaths and cases may reflect delays in notification over the weekend.

This brings the count to 1,146,450 cases and 18,044 deaths so far. 4,421 people currently hospitalized with Covid-19, while 29% are in the ICU. More than 5,602,000 individuals tested; 19% of people tested positive.

Los Angeles Public Health officials have warned that the Super Bowl parties “can become super distributor events” and encouraged sports enthusiasts to celebrate the Super Bowl at home, “without putting you or your friends, family and neighbors at risk”. The warning comes as Los Angeles continues to see at least 4,500 new daily cases of Covid-19 and dozens of new deaths

On Saturday, Los Angeles Public Health confirmed 4,860 new cases, 193 new deaths and 4,607 current hospitalizations. To date, Los Angeles has recorded 1,434,422 total cases of coronavirus and 17,955 deaths.

“Cases and hospitalizations are decreasing, but remain high, and we cannot afford to engage in risky activities that could more easily result in the spread of the virus,” said Public Health in a statement. “When people from different families mix, it increases the risk of spreading COVID-19, especially if it occurs indoors and without facial covers and physical distance.”

Officials suggest that you watch the Super Bowl with people who live in your home and virtually with friends and others who live elsewhere. However, if Angelos decides to host or attend face-to-face Super Bowl events, officials say closed events without facial coverage and physical distance could increase the spread of Covid-19.

If the advice for Super Bowl meetings sounds familiar, the warnings are likely to be similar to the officers shared during the holiday season. Although more than a month has passed since winter break, Los Angeles County continues to suffer the deadly impact and other consequences of the sudden increase from December to January.
