County public health officials recorded 3,780 new cases of the virus Saturday, the highest one-day total since the peak of the crisis in mid-July. Amid the increase, the county Department of Public Health is expected to propose a set of recommendations for the Board of Supervisors this week. “I think it’s sounding an alarm for all of us,” L.A. County Supervisor Hilda Solis said Sunday. More people are attending small gatherings with family and friends, and there’s an overall sense of fatigue when it comes to observing public health restrictions, officials say. Hancock Park resident Mat Estrada said he worries that a new curfew could trigger a public backlash, with some deciding that county health officials have gone too far.
