L.A. County reports 37,000 new daily coronavirus infections as Omicron surges
Los Angeles County reported more than 37,000 new coronavirus cases Thursday, another record-breaking total as the Omicron variant continues to surge across the region.
That’s not to say there wouldn’t be challenges if the Omicron surge is still in full swing by the time the event rolls around on Feb. 13. But Ferrer said she hopes the county will be seeing decreasing daily coronavirus cases by then.“We’re working closely with both the NFL and SoFi stadium to have a wonderful Super Bowl here with the appropriate safety precautions that will keep fans safe and our community safe,” she said.
The latest total — 37,215 — continues the spate of eye-popping case counts that began appearing around the holidays. That single-day total exceeds the peak of last summer’s Delta wave, which topped out at 8,353 COVID-19 hospitalizations on Aug. 31. Last winter, nearly 22,000 coronavirus-positive individuals were being cared for on some days.
