There have been 32 additional coronavirus cases reported in the Santa Clarita Valley with 2,204 more cases confirmed in Los Angeles County Thursday afternoon, officials said.

The Santa Clarita Valley total is now 3,195 and the L.A. County total of cumulative coronavirus cases now stands at 107,667 as of Thursday, according to the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health (LADPH).

This is the fifth consecutive day of new cases over 2,000, and Thursday’s number is missing lab reports from one of the larger labs, according to the department.

“We are thinking every day of the many families who have lost loved ones to COVID-19. Our hearts go out to you, and we are so sorry for your loss,” said Dr. Barbara Ferrer, director of Public Health. “I know these closures are frustrating and it is heartbreaking to think we are losing ground. These immediate actions give us a chance to regain control over the increased spread. With steep increases in cases and hospitalizations, it is important to act now to prevent as many future cases, hospitalizations and deaths as we can.”

A total of 1,893 people are currently hospitalized due to COVID-19 throughout L.A. County, Ferrer said.

Testing results are available for over 1,133,000 individuals as of Thursday, with 9 percent of people testing positive, according to public health officials.

55 additional deaths have been reported Thursday, for a total of 3,454 people died due to coronavirus in Los Angeles County.

Over the past two weeks, the cumulative positivity rate has increased from 8 percent to 9 percent, and the seven-day average of the daily positivity rate has increased from 5.8 percent to 8.4 percent as of Thursday.

This major increase in positivity and hospitalization prompted Governor Gavin Newsom to roll back reopening in several more counties across the state Thursday, prohibiting indoor operations for all restaurants, wineries, tasting rooms, movie theatres, family entertainment centers, zoos, museums and cardrooms, “effective immediately.”

“We have specifically targeted our efforts to close indoor operations, and I want to reinforce this,” Newsom said during a conference Wednesday.

These businesses listed by Newsom are still able to operate outdoors, according to the state.

The governor said that these closures are expected to remain in place for at least three weeks.

*As of Wednesday, July 1, officials had recorded 1,314 cumulative cases among prisoners at the North County Correctional Facility, and 491 at the Peter J. Pitchess Detention Center. Those cases are counted in both the City of Santa Clarita and Castaic totals. 

Additionally, 25 cases have been confirmed in nearby Acton as well as 14 in Agua Dulce.

Public health officials are not releasing recovery numbers by city, according to the department.

Due to testing procedures, these numbers are only the confirmed cases, which officials say cAs of Wednesday, Henry Mayo has conducted 3,273 COVID-19 tests. Of those, 349 have tested positive, and 151 tests are still pending with Henry Mayo, according to Patrick Moody, spokesperson for the hospital.

Some local patients are tested multiple times, creating a discrepancy in the numbers, according to hospital officials.

There are 19 patients in the hospital as of Wednesday, while 110 patients have been discharged since the hospital’s first case was reported in March, according to Moody.

Case numbers are usually higher midweek due to a testing backlog from over the weekend, however, the new case rate may also be slowing due to the closure of testing sites.

A majority of all deaths in the county had underlying health conditions, according to public health, further encouraging those with medical issues to stay home, if possible.
