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
Technical problems are hampering the count. The state's top public health official said the data system used to process test results is marred with technical issues. Officials warn that this week's numbers are likely an undercount.
Most of the state is on notice. Deteriorating conditions prompted the governor to put 38 counties on his watchlist. Together they are home to 97% of the state population.
Deaths keep climbing. A new single-day death record was set last week.
Fewer tests are coming back positive. The statewide positivity rate has decreased to 5.1%.
The reopening is rolling back. The governor has returned to stricter lockdown, and masks are required across the state.
Disparities are widening. After adjusting for population, Latinos are now 3.2 times more likely to test positive than white people.
The highest toll is among seniors. Roughly 75% of the dead were 65 or older. At least 4,270 were living at a nursing home.
No state has more cases. California has overtaken New York and now has the nation's highest case count.

The latest trends
The number of cases in California is now on pace to double every 54.6 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.
Over the past week, the state has averaged 6,913 new cases and 144.4 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.
How COVID-19 crushed California’s workforce
The coronavirus outbreak decimated California's economy. The Times is tracking the fallout as businesses begin to reopen.
Cases by county and city
While initial outbreaks were centered in the San Francisco Bay Area, most new cases and deaths are now concentrated in Southern California.

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. The California Department of Public Health says this has led to an undercount of COVID-related hospitalizations in the state.
There are now 6,069 hospital patients statewide with a confirmed case, a change of -11% from two weeks ago.

California Department of Public Health
The state asks counties with more than 20 patients to keep recent increases under 10%. Currently, 55 counties are passing the test and one are failing. If conditions don't improve, those areas may face increased oversight by state officials.

The percent change in patients is calculated by comparing the average number over the past three days to the three days prior.
Officials also closely monitor the number of beds open in intensive-care units.

If a county’s available ICU beds falls below 20% of capacity, the area is added to governor’s watchlist. Currently, the state is not evaluating counties against this metric due to problems with data reporting.

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. The gap is widening. After adjusting for population, Latinos are now 3.2 times more likely to test positive than white people.

Reopening the state
California's reopening has rolled back, with renewed statewide restrictions on indoor dining and bars, movie theaters, zoos and museums. Much of the state is now caught between the second and third phases of Gov. Newsom's reopening plan.
Newsom's roadmap for reopening
Stage 1
March 19 - May 7
Strictest restrictions in place.
Stage 2
Began May 8
Lower-risk businesses can reopen with social distancing guidelines.
Advanced Stage 2:
Retail and dine-in restaurants are reopened with social distancing guidelines
Stage 3
Began June 12
Higher-risk businesses and venues (such as movie theaters and gyms) can reopen with social distancing guidelines.
Stage 4
No date set
Concerts, conventions and sports with a live crowd can reopen.
Some counties are charting their own path to reopening independent of the state's guidelines. But Newsom is using new state rules to prevent most California public and private school campuses from reopening this fall.
No restrictions lifted

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 4,825,043 coronavirus cases and 158,902 deaths. In the last week, the country has averaged 57,117 new cases and 1,049 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 Florida, Louisiana and Mississippi.

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.
The tallies here are limited to residents of California, which is the standard method used to count patients by the state’s health authorities. Those totals do not include people from other states who are quarantined or hospitalized here, but do include inmates at state prisons.
Cases and deaths are recorded here based on the date they were reported by public health officials.
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.
In an effort to aid scientists and researchers in the fight against COVID-19, The Times has released its database of California coronavirus cases to the public.
The database is available on Github, a popular website for hosting data and computer code. The files will be updated daily at github.com/datadesk/california-coronavirus-data.
