In a weekly briefing on Los Angeles County’s Covid status, Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer singled out the entertainment industry as the sector that has seen the most recorded outbreaks of late

Verve Talent & Literary AgencyThe other top sectors that reported worksite clusters this past 3 weeks, according to Ferrer, are grocery stores with 14 clusters, manufacturing with 8 clusters and retail trade with 7 clusters.

L.A.’s daily cases counts have risen by nearly 2/3 in the past week, from 1,355 last Friday to 2,123 today. But that number is likely an undercount, since many more Angelenos are using at-home tests than ever before and, if someone is positive by experiencing few symptoms, they are highly unlikely to report the infection.
