32 new Santa Clarita Valley coronavirus cases have been confirmed Sunday, with 1,030 additional cases being confirmed within Los Angeles County.

The Santa Clarita Valley cumulative total is now 5,306 and the L.A. County total of cumulative coronavirus cases stands at 240,749 as of Sunday, according to the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health (LADPH).

A total of 1,089 people are currently hospitalized due to COVID-19 throughout L.A. County, 32 percent of which are in the intensive care unit (ICU) as of Sunday, according to the department.

Governor Gavin Newsom announced Friday that the state had revised its recovery roadmap and created an updated Tier Framework that classifies each California County based on their daily case rate and positivity rate.

L.A. County has been placed in Tier 1 (purple) based on our average daily case rate for the prior two weeks of 13.1 new cases per 100,000 residents. Tier 1 is characterized by widespread community transmission.

As such, since county orders may be more restrictive than State guidance, all current restrictions remain in place until the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health and the Board of Supervisors have an opportunity to review the suggested guidelines from the State and take actions that are appropriate for our County, officials said.

Testing results are available for over 2,282,000 individuals as of Sunday, with a daily positivity rate of 10 percent, according to public health officials.

Ten additional deaths have been reported within the county Friday, for a total of 5,769 recorded people who have died due to coronavirus in Los Angeles County since March.

As of Sunday, a total of 5,306 cumulative cases of COVID-19 have been confirmed in the Santa Clarita Valley since testing began in March. These include:

An analysis of available data indicates that as of Thursday, Aug. 26, reads that approximately 34.9 percent of all cumulative cases in and around the Santa Clarita Valley can be attributed to the inmate population at the North County Correctional Facility and the Pitchess Detention Center.
