A blast of new Covid cases filled by the quickly spreading Omicron variant has set off a sharp increase in COVID-19 hospitalizations across California, provoking reestablished admonitions and calls for alert from public health officials.
Over the weeklong period finishing Sunday, California revealed a normal of 11,914 new Covid cases each day — a 73% leap from about fourteen days prior, as per data assembled by the news.
Furthermore that flood of infections is beginning to negatively affect hospitals. There were 4,001 Covid positive patients hospitalized statewide on Sunday, an almost 14% increment in multi week. Coronavirus hospitalizations haven’t been this high since early October.
The new measurements “make obviously we are going into exceptionally testing times over the colder time of year occasions,” said Los Angeles County Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer.
