To better understand the COVID-19 pandemic, The Times is conducting an independent, continual survey of dozens of local health agencies across the state.
What we know
The state has lifted regional stay-at-home orders. Though many restrictions are likely to remain, the change could allow restaurants to reopen outdoor dining and some services to resume.
Case counts have started to sink. Over the last seven days, the state has averaged 21,515 cases per day, a 49.2% decrease from two weeks ago. Roughly 7.4% of tests this past week have come back positive.
The death toll is near all-time highs. The state has averaged 550.4 daily deaths over the last week, an increase of 3% from two weeks ago.
The hospitalization surge has crested. Statewide, there are 15,705 people hospitalized with a confirmed case, a 25.2% decrease from two weeks ago.
Vaccines are slowly arriving. 6.1% of the population has received at least one dose. Learn more about the rollout with The Times’ new vaccine tracker.
Disparities in age and race persist. Roughly 75% of the dead were 65 or older. After adjusting for population, Latinos are now 2.6 times more likely than whites to test positive.

The latest totals
Coronavirus can infect people so rapidly that it has continued to spread despite shutdown orders aimed at slowing the growth of new cases and flattening the line below.
So far, 1 out of every 12 people in the state has tested positive. The number statewide is now on pace to double every 101.8 days, a number used to measure how quickly the virus is spreading.

Times survey of county and local health departments
Local governments announce new cases and deaths each day, though bottlenecks in bureaucracy can introduce delays. For instance, some agencies do not report new totals on holidays and weekends, leading to lower numbers on those days.
Over the past week, the state has averaged 21,515 new cases and 550.4 new deaths per day. Experts say the true number of people infected is unknown and likely much higher than official tallies.

Seven-day averages offer a more stable view of the trend than daily totals. On the cases chart, gray bars mark when errors in a state computer system delayed the tabulation of new cases.

Where new cases are concentrated
State officials study the latest data and then rate regions and counties to determine when and how businesses reopen.
The government doesn’t release enough data to replicate its analysis, but the rate of new cases per 100,000 residents over the last seven days provides insight into where the virus is spreading.

Officials also closely monitor the number of beds open in intensive-care units. The latest data show that there are 1,187 available statewide.

Officials have organized the state’s counties into five regions. Previously, if a region’s available percentage of intensive-care beds fell below 15%, a stay-at-home order was issued. The numbers are adjusted to account for a variety of factors and are not a precise meansuresment of availability. After a change on Jan. 25, it's unclear how these ICU figures will be used in the future.

Vaccines
California’s ultimate goal will be to fully vaccinate nearly 40 million people. Two COVID-19 vaccines have received emergency use authorization so far, and both require two doses given a few weeks apart to provide full inoculation.
To date, 3,078,250 shots of have been administered, about 64.7% of the 4.8 million doses the state has received. Over the last seven days, an average of 183,297 doses per day have been given out.

Wide disparities in age and race
While younger adults make up the majority of positive tests, deaths due to the virus have skewed heavily toward the elderly.

The state has logged the race of the patient in nearly two-thirds of cases.
Latinos and Black people have contracted the virus at a higher rate than white and Asian people. After adjusting for population, Latinos are now 2.6 times more likely to test positive than white people.

One outcome is that among most age groups, and especially younger people, Black people and Latinos are dying more often than other races relative to their share of the population.

State and county totals come from an ongoing Times survey of California’s 58 county health agencies as well as the three run by cities. Those figures are ahead of the totals periodically released by the state’s Department of Public Health. State officials acknowledge that their tallies lag behind the updates posted by local agencies throughout the day and do not dispute The Times’ method.
Data on hospitalizations, tests, demographics and reopening plans come from the state health department.
Nursing home totals include skilled-nursing facilities tracked by the state public health department, as well as assisted-living facilities monitored by the California Department of Social Services.
Data from other states, Washington, D.C. and Puerto Rico are collected by researchers at the Johns Hopkins University Center for Systems Science and Engineering.
Counties are organized into regions using the groupings developed by the state health department.
The Times database is available to the public on Github, a popular website for hosting data and computer code. The files will be updated daily at github.com/datadesk/california-coronavirus-data.
The data collection effort is done in partnership with journalists at the San Francisco Chronicle, the San Diego Union-Tribune, KQED, KPCC, CapRadio, Calmatters and Stanford’s Big Local News.
Learn more about The Times count by reading this list of frequently asked questions or by reading this interview with members of our team.
