DIAMOND BAR, Calif. (KABC) -- Los Angeles County is now seeing its highest daily COVID-19 case count since mid-February.
The county health department reported 2,767 new cases on Thursday. That's up 80% in just one week - and 20 times as high as the figure from a month earlier.
The new case count has now exceeded 1,000 for 14 straight days, while it was well below 200 per day in mid-June. The county has now reported more than 1.27 million cases since the start of the pandemic.
Hospitalizations also continue to rise, jumping from 585 on Tuesday to 645 on Wednesday and then to 655 on Thursday. On June 21, the county reported just 213 people hospitalized due to COVID.
If the state was still using the color-coded tier system, Los Angeles County would have fallen back into the most-restrictive purple tier, resulting in the closures of some businesses and the sharp limiting of capacity at others.
