Tough town, please do us a favor and don’t reproduce.
Unfortunately, El Monte reported its first case of the coronavirus on Monday, and the city now has four cases just a day later.
This virus knows no boundaries and respects no one, but I’m hopeful that our school and business closures and our good health practices will result in fewer illnesses and keep our hospitals from getting overwhelmed.
L.A. County appears to be doing better so far than other areas of the country in limiting the spread of the disease. I hope that continues to be the case.
Here are the confirmed cases for local communities as of Tuesday (March 31): Pasadena 25 (up from 10 on Monday), East Los Angeles 14, Alhambra 13, Boyle Heights 11, Arcadia 9, Monterey Park 7, West Covina 7, San Gabriel 6, South Pasadena 6, El Monte 4, Baldwin Park 2, Rosemead 2, Temple City 1, South El Monte 0.
Please keep in mind that the actual number of cases is likely to be higher (perhaps considerably) because our health care system doesn’t have enough coronavirus test kits to go around.
The L.A. County Department of Public Health updates these numbers by late afternoon on a daily basis. Anyone can get this information by going online.
I wish everyone the best of luck in the coming weeks and months.
Stupid!!!
It’s a fact that El Monte has zero cases of coronavirus. The dynamic duo of Cineceros and Leonardis is apparently working to strike fear in the heart of this bug.
