(July 17, 2020) -- Bad news on the doorstep. The latest LB COVID-19 data include the following:

As of July 16, Long Beach's COVID "positivity rate" -- the percentage of persons taking a COVID-19 test who turn out to test positive -- has risen to 15.3%. LB's positivity rate has been above 15% since a July 14 news briefing. The figure was in single digits in April but by late May into June began rising. The higher positivity rate indicates a higher level of the virus is now ciculating in Long Beach (meaning the chances of exposure have increased.)

Updated daily hospitalizations have exceeded 100 since June 30. On June 15, the figure dailky figure was 77.

158 LB residents have died of COVID19. The death toll now includes a person in their 20s and two persons in their 40s. (The City says they had "underlying health conditions.")
