Dr. Ying-Ying Goh, Pasadena Public Health Officer and Director, sent the following statement to the community:
As we report numbers on the final day of 2020, we express our sympathies for those who have lost loved ones to COVID-19.
Today we end the year with 225 new cases and 10 deaths. Due to extremely high numbers of daily new cases, today’s reporting represents both recent cases and some that were backlogged. The 10 people who passed away included residents of skilled nursing facilities as well as people living in our community who appeared to be household contacts to younger people who traveled or attended gatherings.
The new year provides an opportunity to renew our efforts and focus on the proactive measures that work well for stopping COVID-19: wear masks, don’t gather with people you do not live with, wash hands frequently and only go out for essential needs.
The current stay at home order prohibits gatherings, but if you do still choose to go out on New Year’s Eve, quarantine for the next ten days to prevent your actions from harming others.
Material items can be replaced, lives cannot!
On December 31, 2020, Pasadena had a total of 6,879 confirmed Cases and 167 total deaths.
