COVID-19 statistics remained encouraging Monday as Pasadena entered its first day of loosened “orange” tier protocols under the state’s reopening guidelines Monday, with only two new infections reported and zero deaths, marking a 12th straight day without a reported fatality in the city, officials said.

The pair of new cases raised the city’s overall pandemic total to 11,154, according to Pasadena Public Health Department records. The local death toll remained at 335, where it’s held since March 24.

City spokeswoman Lisa Derderian said the first day under “orange” tier protocols appeared to have gone smoothly, dispute a magnitude 4.0 earthquake with an epicenter near Lennox that rattled Southern California residents shortly before 5 a.m.

“It started off a bit ‘shaky’ with an earthquake to remind us other disasters exist, but we’re definitely seeing an increase in the number of people out in Old Pasadena and other popular locations,” Derderian said. “The weather helps and people feel more confident dining out after they’ve been vaccinated, but we still haven’t seen how spring break and holiday gatherings will impact our numbers.”

Pasadena’s saw an average of 2.9 new infections each day over the prior week, officials said.

Officials at Huntington Hospital reported treating 14 COVID-19 patients on Monday. The hospital’s intensive care unit remained empty of coronavirus patients after being cleared on Friday for the first time since early in the pandemic.
