Track the spread of coronavirus in the United States with maps and updates on cases and deaths. More of CNN’s Covid-19 coverage. What we still don’t know. On January 22, 2021, IDPH began including in the total case count all probable deaths reported since the beginning of the pandemic. Due to this change, all probable deaths, 1,903, have been added to the one-day, January 22, 2021, total of new cases. The number of Daily New Cases is defined as the count of all newly diagnosed and reported cases of COVID-19 in the past 24 hours. This is the most important number to track to understand how COVID-19 is spreading in the community. When people talk about flattening the curve, they are referring to the graph of new cases reported over time. Note on cases (04/19/21): Today's daily case count represents new referrals of confirmed cases to the MDSS since Saturday, April 17th. Over the two days, Sunday and Monday, the average number of new confirmed cases is 4,287 per day. The State of Michigan is working around the clock to test and treat COVID-19 patients. In the past seven days, the U.S. Reported slightly more than 65,000 new COVID-19 cases per day on average, a jump of 20% from two weeks earlier.

Testing

The trend in 7-day daily average number of persons tested provides an indication of the direction of COVID-19 testing in Los Angeles County. Conducting more tests can result in more confirmed cases of COVID-19 and supports efforts to control local spread of the virus.

Testing Positivity Rate

The Testing Positivity Rate is defined as the percentage of tests reported that are positive. The 7-Day Daily Average Testing Positivity Rate provides a more current picture of how many people tested positive, as opposed to the cumulative Testing Positivity Rate, which would date back to the beginning of the pandemic. We use a rolling 7-day average to smooth some of the fluctuations we see in the daily numbers due to reporting and processing lags that are a part of reportable disease surveillance.

New Deaths Reported ():
Total Deaths Reported:

Using the 7-Day Daily Average from Deaths 7 Days Ago prevents us from putting too much weight in a single daily number and it accounts for daily fluctuations in deaths reported to the health department and shows a clearer picture of death trends.

by Race, Ethnicity and Poverty Level

COVID-19 has exposed numerous inequities in our system, where low-income residents and people of color have higher risk of death from COVID-19 than whites and areas of low poverty. The Death Rate is the number of deaths from COVID-19 per 100,000 population in each race/ethnicity group. We can see that Latino/Latinx and African Americans are experiencing a disproportionate rate of deaths from COVID-19.

We also characterize deaths by calculating area-based measures of socioeconomic positions to identify areas with varied levels of economic resources so we can track how they are impacted. In LA County, our current death rate in people living in the lowest resource areas is approximately 4 times higher than people living in the highest-resourced areas. This measure, also referred to as “area poverty” reflects the percentage of households living at or below the federal poverty line. Area poverty estimates are derived from the US Census 5-year (2013-2017) American Community Survey at the census tract level.
