LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles County Health Officer, Muntu Davis, MD, MPH Oct. 27, issued a health advisory for private gatherings and public celebrations. Dr. Davis advised residents that the potential risk of COVID-19 transmission at such celebrations is high, based on the increasing rate of COVID-19 community transmission in Los Angeles County.
Since early October, Los Angeles County’s average number of daily cases has increased from around 940 per day to almost 1,200 per day. Additionally, recent contact tracing interviews over the course of 3 weeks showed that 55% of the people who knew of a possible exposure had attended an event or gathering where 2 or more people were sick.
To prevent future spread of COVID-19, Dr. Davis reminds L.A. County it is best to celebrate at home with your household, however, if you are going to host or attend a private gathering, it must adhere to the following Public Health protocols:
If you are sick, stay home. Isolate from others and consider being tested for COVID-19.
