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. So far today, 29 of the 61 agencies we’re monitoring have reported new numbers.
What we know
Tallies continue to climb. Over the past week, the state has averaged 1,687 new cases and 72.6 new deaths per day.
Cities have been hit hard. The largest concentration is in Los Angeles County, home to half of the deaths so far.
Hospitals are holding up. The number of patients has remained steady, a goal of the stay-at-home policies.
Nursing homes are a focal point. The state is currently listing 316 skilled-nursing and assisted-living facilities with a confirmed case.
California's totals sit far below New York, where more than 25,600 people have died.

The latest trends
The number of cases in California is now on pace to double every 23.4 days, a reflection of how quickly the virus is spreading.
Coronavirus can infect people so rapidly that government officials have issued 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.

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.
Growth varies from county to county, but most areas are still climbing.
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.

Do you know someone who has lost the battle with COVID-19?
We'd like to hear from the loved ones of people who have died from the coronavirus. Please consider sharing their stories with us here.
Hospitals and patients
One goal of the state's stay-at-home mandate is to slow the virus in hope of preventing hospitals from being overrun.
The state health department started tracking hospitalizations of confirmed and suspected COVID-19 patients on April 1. Since then, the number of people admitted to California hospitals and intensive-care units has remained steady.

Healthcare workers have been hit hard by the virus. Statewide 6,368 have tested positive as of Wednesday, accounting for 11% of total infections. The number has continued to grow since state officials started releasing tallies.

Nursing homes
Nursing homes have become a tragic focal point of the coronavirus outbreak. California's Department of Public Health is currently listing skilled nursing and assisted-living facilities across the state with COVID-19 outbreaks.
The state last updated the list on May 6. Officials have withheld the precise number where there are 10 or fewer cases. State officials say the numbers reflect "point in time" counts that are limited to the current number of staff and patients infected, which can result in the numbers for many facilities declining over time.

Testing
A disorganized web of city, county and state facilities, as well as a growing number of private for-profit labs, are conducting tests. Officials have struggled to keep tabs.
After a series of what he called “fits and starts” in test tracking, Gov. Newsom promised better organization and a “new day.” His administration now sets the total number of tests conducted in California at 809,036 following a sudden shift in how tests are counted.
