Today, June 22, Los Angeles County Dept. of Public Heath confirmed 18 new deaths due to COVID-19. This brings the total number of deaths in the entire LA County due to COVID-19 to 3,137.

On June 22, Public Health confirmed 2,571 new cases of COVID-19.

“This is the third day in the past week we are reporting over 2,000 new cases,” said Barbara Ferrer, director of Public Health. “And while some of the increases are due to test reporting issues, it is clear that much of the increase represents more community transmission. Continuing to slow the spread of COVID-19 will not be possible without a renewed commitment by all of us to take care of each other by wearing cloth face coverings, keeping our distance and avoiding crowds.”

With today’s additional cases the total number of positive COVID-19 cases throughout LA County is 85,942; of this total 1,283 cases were in Glendale, 69 were in La Cañada Flintridge, 275 were in Eagle Rock, 16 in Shadow Hills, 203 in Sunland and 161 in Tujunga.
