The coronavirus pandemic has spread rapidly across California. Experts say the true number of people infected is unknown and likely much higher than official tallies.
To better understand the spread of the virus, The Times is conducting an independent, continual survey of dozens of local health agencies across the state.
What we know
The state has changed its reopening plan. The governor’s new system will keep most of the state on lockdown for now. Masks remain required.
Officials are pointing to positive signs. With recent technical bugs sorted out, state and local officials see signs of hope in the recent drops in new cases and hospitalizations.
The death toll keeps climbing. The state has averaged 114.1 deaths per day over the last seven days.
Fewer tests are coming back positive. The statewide positivity rate has decreased to 4.1%.
Disparities are wide. After adjusting for population, Latinos are now 3.4 times more likely to test positive than white people.
The highest toll is among seniors. Roughly 74% of the dead were 65 or older. At least 5,194 were living at a nursing home.

The latest trends
The number of cases in California is now on pace to double every 99.5 days, a number used to measure how quickly the virus is spreading.
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 this line.

Times survey of county and local health departments
Local governments announce new cases and deaths each day, though bottlenecks in testing and reporting lags can introduce delays. For instance, some agencies do not report new totals on weekends, leading to lower numbers on those days.
State and local officials say they have overcome the technical problems that delayed the tabulation of test results in early August. Tallies dipped, and then surged, due to the bottleneck. Officials say the latest figures are now a more accurate reflection of current trends. The Times aims to rectify past counts as local officials issue corrections.
Over the past week, the state has averaged 4,815 new cases and 114.1 new deaths per day.

The lines above are seven-day averages. They offer a more stable view of the trend than daily totals. That's why experts wait for lines like these to flatten before they say conditions are improving.
The chart below is adjusted to show how quickly new cases are being confirmed in each county. A good sign is when a line flattens, which indicates that transmission is slowing in that area.

This chart tracks cumulative cases after each county confirmed its 10th case. Case counts are plotted on a logarithmic scale, which makes it easier to see when cases level off. Doubling rate is the estimate of how long it would take the county to double its number of cases, given the trend in the last week. Compare the slope of a county's curve to the slope of the guide lines to estimate its doubling rate at any point.

Hospitals and patients
Lockdown measures aim to slow the virus in hope of preventing hospitals from being overrun. To keep tabs on capacity, officials watch out for rapid increases in the number of patients.
In late July, the Trump administration changed how hospitals must report data. State officials say the transition is complete and that hospital data are now stable.
There are now 3,513 hospital patients statewide with a confirmed case, a change of -26% from two weeks ago.

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. The gap is widening. After adjusting for population, Latinos are now 3.4 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.

New guidelines for reopening
Gov. Gavin Newsom unveiled a new plan on Friday to revive the California economy decimated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Counties will be allowed to ease restrictions in four tiers, which will determine when and how businesses reopen.
California’s reopening risk tiers
Tier 1
Widespread
Most nonessential indoor business operations are closed.
Tier 2
Substantial
Some nonessential indoor business operations are closed.
Tier 3
Moderate
Some business operations can open with modifications.
Tier 4
Minimal
Most business operations can open with modifications
The new groups, known as tiers, are based on a set of metrics developed by state officials. Which tier a county falls in decides what can be reopened.

What's open in every county
We're tracking what's open, closed and restricted throughout the state in ten different categories, including parks, retail, restaurants and more. Find out what's open where you live.
Our state in context
To date, the United States has recorded 6,198,262 coronavirus cases and 187,728 deaths. In the last week, the country has averaged 40,863 new cases and 853 deaths per day.
The chart below is adjusted to show how quickly new cases are being confirmed in each state. A good sign is when a line flattens, which indicates that transmission is slowing in that area.

This chart tracks cumulative cases after each state confirmed its 100th case. Case counts are plotted on a logarithmic scale, which makes it easier to see when cases level off. Doubling rate is the estimate of how long it would take the state to double its number of cases, given the trend in the last week. Compare the slope of a state's curve to the slope of the guide lines to estimate its doubling rate at any point.
California, America’s most populous state, leads the nation in cases. It ranks much lower after adjusting for population.
The states with the fastest-growing outbreaks over the past two weeks, based on population, are North Dakota, South Dakota and Iowa.

State and county totals come from a continual 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 from other states, Washington, D.C. and Puerto Rico are collected by researchers at the Johns Hopkins University Center for Systems Science and Engineering.
Data on hospitalizations, tests, demographics and nursing homes come from California's Department of Public Health.
Closures and restrictions are drawn from an ongoing Times survey of county governments.
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.
Learn more about The Times count by reading this list of frequently asked questions or by reading this interview with members of our team.
