Catalina’s two confirmed COVID-19 patients have recovered, Mayor Anni Marshall said during the April 22 “Minutes with the Mayor” broadcast.
For those of you keeping track: that’s two known recovered patients and zero known deaths on Catalina Island.
On that same day, Long Beach reported 477 COVID-19 cases, 288 recovered patients and 27 deaths.
There have been just two confirmed COVID-19 patients, according to the Catalina Island Medical Center webiste. Twenty-one individuals have been tested as of 11:16 a.m. April 23, according to the Medical Center website.
Los Angeles County has not reported any of the Avlaon cases —like many county health agencies, LA County is not reporting on case counts in small communities until the case count reaches a minimum of five patients.
As of noon April 22, there have been 16,435 test-confirmed cases of COVID-19 since counting began. That figure includes cases reported by the Long Beach and Pasadena city health departments. That figure also includes known COVID-19 deaths.
Preliminary findings from a recent USC-LA County Public Health Department study — which hasn’t yet been subjected to scientific peer review — suggested that the actual number of cases may be greater that the test-confirmed cases.
