Barbara Ferrer expressed optimism about the positive trends in most coronavirus-tracking measures. She said the county falls short only in the rate of new cases, which stands at a 14-day daily average of 295 new cases per 100,000 residents. The state benchmark is 100 or less.

But Ferrer said the county meets other benchmarks for drops in hospitalizations, the seven-day average positivity rate — now at 6 percent — testing capacity and availability of intensive-care unit beds and ventilators.Camila Cabello's 'Cinderella' Movie At Sony Heading Back To Production In UK After COVID-19 Shutdown

That, on the same day that Governor Gavin Newsom added a number of additional counties to the state’s watch list because they did not meet those measures. Until a county can meet all six state benchmarks, it will remain on the state’s monitoring list, which prevents reopening of schools and many businesses. As of Monday morning, 42 of the 58 counties in the state were on the list, although San Diego County is expected to be removed by Tuesday.

Ferrer announced another 19 deaths due to the virus on Monday, bringing the total since the start of the pandemic to 5,273. She also announced another 1,185 cases, noting that the numbers of new cases and deaths are typically lower early in the week due to reduced testing and reporting over the weekend.L.A.
