Los Angeles County reported the death of a child due to the novel coronavirus on Tuesday, marking the first time a person under the age of 18 has succumbed to COVID-19 in the US.
The number of coronavirus cases in the state of California has skyrocketed to more than 2,200 as cities on the West Coast scramble to enforce lockdowns, manufacture medical supplies, procure hospital beds and slow the spread of COVID-19.
Los Angeles County reported four additional deaths related to the coronavirus, bringing the county total to 11 on Tuesday. Officials confirmed an additional 128 cases, bringing the county’s total to 662.
One of those deaths included the minor who lived in Lancaster, but further details of their identity were not shared.
The child’s death is a ‘devastating reminder that COVID-19 infects people of all ages’, Dr. Barbara Ferrer, director of L.A. County Department of Public Health, said during a Tuesday press conference.
In San Francisco, the first city in the US to go on lockdown, officials warn ‘the worst is yet to come’ and a surge in cases is expected in a week or two.
In San Francisco there are 131 cases and no deaths, in Santa Clara, there are 321 cases and 13 deaths related to the virus. Statewide there are over 2,220 confirmed cases and there have been 49 deaths.
