The South Bay registered 36 new confirmed cases of COVID-19 on Tuesday bringing the total to 562, according to the daily tally released by the Los Angeles County Public Health Department. Overall, confirmed cases in LA County increased by 550 to a total of 6,910, including 22 new deaths, bringing the total of COVID-19 deaths to 169.

LA County has been experiencing a doubling every four days of COVID-19 cases. Locally, the rate appears somewhat less. The South Bay has increased from 298 confirmed cases on April 1 to 562 on April 7. 

Dr. Barbara Ferrer, the LA County director of Public Health, emphasized how crucial this week and possibly next week are in “flattening the curve” and preventing the novel coronavirus outbreak from overwhelming the health care system. This, of all weeks, is “stay at home” week, Ferrer said, noting that the same plea health officials have been making for older people and those with underlying health conditions to socially isolate now applies to everyone. 

“All of us should avoid shopping as much as possible,” Ferrer said. “If you have what you need at home, this week and next week —  these are the weeks for all of us to stay at home. You know, we are almost at 7,000 here in LA County of people who are infected, and that really means we have significant COVID-19 circulating in our neighborhoods. The more we can stay apart from one another, the better off we are all going to be.” 

The only significant jump in cases in the South Bay occurred in Torrance, which jumped from 92 to 101 cases. In the Beach Cities, Hermosa has 18 confirmed cases, Manhattan 51, and Redondo 68, an increase of four cases since Monday.
