A healthcare worker has died from COVID-19, Los Angeles County Public Health Director Dr. Barbara Ferrer said Tuesday as she announced an additional 10 coronavirus deaths in the county.

The identity of the healthcare worker has not been released, but Ferrer said the individual was over the age of 60.

"This is the first healthcare worker in L.A. County, that we know of, that's passed from COVID-19," Ferrer said. "To the family of the healthcare worker who died from COVID-19, I want to express on behalf of the entire county family, our sympathy to your family and our gratitude to this person who gave everything for the health of our community."

Six of the 10 deaths reported Tuesday occurred in people over the age of 65, two between 41 and 65 years old; and two between 18 and 40 years old. All had reported underlying health conditions except for one individual between 18 and 40 years old, according to Public Health.

Ferrer stressed to the public that while a majority of those who have died from COVID-19 in the county had underlying health conditions, not everyone does. She urged residents to continue to take the necessary precautions in order to protect themselves from the virus.


The county's death count now stands at 54, with a mortality rate of 1.8 percent.

Additionally, Ferrer reported an additional 548 cases since Monday, bringing the county's total number of cases up to 3,011.

Ferrer reminded the public that the number of confirmed cases in the county will continue to go up as medical professionals have the ability to test more patients.

She said that social distancing remains our best defense against the virus, and urges all residents to abide by current measures in place across the state.

Social distancing is not only about preventing the illness itself, but rather, slowing the rate at which people get sick.

Public Health requests that anyone who experiences any symptoms of COVID-19 to self-isolate for the 14-day quarantine period in order to help slow the spread.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, symptoms of the virus include fever, coughing and shortness of breath.

Public Health has issued the following guidance during this time of increased spread:

"If you are mildly sick, stay home for at least seven days or until 72 hours after being fever free, whichever is longer. Call your doctor if you are concerned and/or your symptoms worsen. Individuals who are elderly, have underlying health conditions or pregnant should consider contacting their providers earlier when they are sick."
