There are over 4,300 people hospitalized with COVID-19 in Los Angeles County.
As the COVID-19 pandemic has swept the globe, more than 5.5 million people have died from the disease worldwide, including over 849,000 Americans, according to real-time data compiled by Johns Hopkins University's Center for Systems Science and Engineering.
About 62.9% of the population in the United States is fully vaccinated against COVID-19, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
With 48,686 New Yorkers testing positive on Monday, the state saw a case drop for the first time in weeks, Gov. Kathy Hochul announced.
Hochul called this "a glimmer of hope," but warned, "we are not at the end."
While hospitalizations continue to rise, "the rate of increase is slowing, and to us that is very encouraging," the governor said.

The U.S. government is buying 600,000 more doses of sotrovimab, the only the monoclonal antibody treatment expected to hold up against omicron, according to the drug makers, GlaxoSmithKline and Vir Biotechnology.
These doses are set to be delivered to the government over the next two months, the drug makers said.
This brings total sotrovimab doses purchased by the federal government to approximately 1 million.
Short supply of sotrovimab has been a growing concern for the White House as omicron spreads.
Until recently the government had not invested in buying bulk stock of sotrovimab, as it has with other monoclonal treatments. The government spent billions buying Regeneron and Eli Lilly's products to ensure there would be enough supply, but both of those may not hold up against omicron.
