The 7-day average number of new cases is 9,420 per day. The 7-day average from the week prior was 8,309. California has 413,576confirmed cases to date.
There have been 6,664,998 tests conducted in California. This represents an increase of 127,487 over the prior 24-hour reporting period. As testing capacity continues to increase across the state, an increase in the number of positive cases has been expected – increasing the importance of positivity rates to find signs of community spread.
