One in five people tested for COVID-19 in Los Angeles are positive \u2014 as the region grapp<\/a>les with an alarming outbreak that officials have called a \u201chuman disaster.\u201d<\/p>\n

The test positivity rate climbed to 21 percent in Los Angeles County, which recorded 9,142 new cases on Monday, Patch Los Angeles reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is a human disaster, and one that was avoidable,\u201d Los Angeles County Supervisor Hilda Solis said.<\/p>\n

While Monday\u2019s figures were lower than the record highs seen in recent weeks, Los Angeles County Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer warned that the current health crisis is likely worse than known due to lags in reporting from the holiday weekend.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re likely to experience the worst conditions in January that we\u2019ve faced the entire pandemic,\u201d Ferrer said. <\/p>\n

\u201cAnd that\u2019s hard to imagine. In slightly more than one month, we doubled the number of people who have tested positive for COVID-19.\u201d<\/p>\n

So far, there have been at least 827,000 confirmed infections in the county since the pandemic began, officials said.<\/p>\n

Many intensive care units are now at capacity\u00a0in Los Angeles as at least 6,000 patients are currently hospitalized for coronavirus, according to county data.<\/p>\n

Los Angeles County Health Services Director Dr. Christina Ghaly, who oversees four hospitals, said that \u201cthe worst is almost surely ahead of us,\u201d Deadline reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cHospitalizations are at highest number we\u2019ve seen yet during the pandemic, and it just continues to grow and grow,\u201d\u00a0Ghaly said.<\/p>\n

\u201cMany hospitals have reached a point of crisis and are having to make hard decisions about critical care,\u201d she added.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
