Body
I. SUMMARY
As of the preparation of this report on May 10, 2022, Los Angeles County Public Health Department has reported 25,975 confirmed cases of COVID-19 within the City of Carson, with 2,895,400 cases within Los Angeles County (which includes cases reported by the Long Beach and Pasadena Health Departments). This underreports the actual spread of the virus since those who do not display symptoms or are otherwise mildly impacted may have not been tested and therefore not counted among the reported cases.
The most recent data from Los Angeles County Department of Public Health (LADPH) show an increase in the number of positive cases and an increase in the daily positivity rate from a low of 0.63% in March to 1.77% as of April 29.
