Tracking coronavirus in California By LOS ANGELES TIMES STAFF UPDATED MARCH 16, 2020, 9:30 P.M. PACIFIC After an outbreak in China, the coronavirus pandemic has killed thousands and reached nearly every corner of the world, including California. Scientists say the true number of U.S. cases is probably far above the official tally of positive tests. But here's what we know so far about the statewide spread of the virus that causes COVID-19. California 392 confirmed 11,700 self monitoring 11 deaths U.S. 4,661 confirmed 85 deaths Global 182,185 confirmed 7,148 deaths California case tallies come from state officials, who typically count only residents of the state and can lag behind the totals published by the state's 58 counties. Those totals do not include people from other states who are quarantined here, such as the passengers and crew of the Grand Princess cruise ship that docked in Oakland. California cases continue to climb The first case was confirmed near the end of January. The total grew slowly at first, then much faster as tests became more widely available. On Feb. 28, the California Department of Public Health announced the state had received kits to conduct its own tests. Cumulative cases by day 0100200300400Mar. 15Mar. 1Feb. 1Feb. 15State increasestesting More widespread testing led to a surge in California cases on March 2. New patients have continued to be confirmed nearly every day since. However, there have been major delays in ensuring the state can test everyone who should be tested. New cases announced by day 0204060Mar. 16Jan. 25Mar. 2 Where cases have been confirmed Cases have been identified in 31 of the state's 58 counties, from Shasta County south to the border.

San Francisco Santa Rosa San Jose Sacramento Stockton In response, seven counties have issued a shelter-in-place directive, a move that will close virtually all businesses and direct residents to remain at home. The cases in L.A. County A total of 94 cases have been identified across Los Angeles County. Here are the cities and neighborhoods where cases have occurred, according to county public health officials. The county is still investigating the location of 11 patients. Cases West Hollywood 5 Tarzana 5 Long Beach 5 Boyle Heights 5 Granada Hills 3 Manhattan Beach 3 Santa Clarita and Stevenson Ranch 3 Encino 3 West Hills 3 Melrose 2 Show all An additional 11 cases were identified in smaller Los Angeles neighborhoods that health officials elected not to name. How the virus is spreading Most early California cases were linked to foreign travel and returning tourists who passed the illness on to family and close contacts. While some cases are still under investigation, a growing share is now attributed to community spread. That's the term used when a virus is no longer contained to small groups and the source of exposure is unknown. Experts say this is a sign the sickness is spreading more widely. Community spread vs. travel and close contacts vs. under investigation 0100200300400Mar. 15Mar. 1Feb. 1Feb. 15 So far, 16 of California's 58 counties have recorded a case of community spread. Looking to curb this trend, government and business leaders have shut down bars, restaurants, schools, offices and public events across the state. How California compares The coronavirus has hit most of the U.S., with large concentrations in Washington state, New York and California. In Washington, one nursing home is at the center of the epidemic.

UPDATED: March 16, 3:00 p.m. COVID-19 Test Result Overview Positive*: 160 Total number of people tested at the state lab**: 1216 *Originally we classified cases as “presumptive positive” until they could be re-tested by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). The CDC confirmed we no longer need to send positive cases for re-testing because the test they perform is identical to the CDPHE testing. Therefore, all positive cases reported here are confirmed positive. **Now that private labs are conducting testing, the positive cases number represents all positive cases in the state. Private labs are not required to report negative numbers to the state, so we are not reporting total numbers of negative cases. Please note: information may change slightly as more information is collected on each patient. Due to the high volume of tests being processed by the state lab and a need to get the information out quickly, today’s case summary does not contain a demographic breakdown. Demographic data will be provided as soon as the lab is able to provide the statistical breakdown.

Governor Issues Second COVID-19 Health Mandate; Signs COVID-19 Legislation March 16, 2020 March 16, 2020 (Anchorage, AK) – Alaska Governor Mike Dunleavy, with the Alaska Department of Health and Social Services (DHSS) today issued the State of Alaska’s COVID-19 Health Mandate 002 to prevent and slow the spread of the coronavirus. The mandate closes state operated libraries, archives, and museums to the public from March 17, 2020 through March 31, 2020. All public programs and events scheduled to be held within and around these facilities are suspended in this time. Staff will continue to serve the public through telephone, web, and other modes that preserve the highest degree of social distancing. Additionally, residential school programs shall begin the process of sending students to their families and home communities. This process should be completed by March 27th. A signed copy of the COVID-19 Health Mandate 002 can be found here. COVID-19 Preparedness and Response Legislation Governor Dunleavy today in his Anchorage Office signed two pieces of timely legislation to help Alaska’s COVID-19 response and preparedness. House Bill 206 provides financial resources to DHSS for COVID-19 preparedness and response $4 million in state funds and provides open ended authority to accept any federal funds for COVID-19 response, as requested by the Governor on March 2, 2020. House Bill 29 requires health care insurers to provide coverage for telehealth benefits and can reduce consumer and insurer costs. With the COVID-19 pandemic, the CDC and the Alaska Chief Medical Officer have encouraged those with flu-like symptoms to utilize telehealth benefits before overloading the healthcare system, especially emergency rooms.

As of March 15, 2020, 6 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time, there are a total of 392 positive cases and six deaths in California (including one non-California resident). This total does not include passengers from the Grand Princess cruise ship currently docked in Oakland. Ages of all confirmed positive cases: Age 0-17: 6 cases Age 18-64: 246 cases Age 65+: 135 cases Unknown: 5 cases 24 – Cases of positive tests related to federal repatriation flights 368 – Cases not related to repatriation flights 75 – Travel related 75– Person-to-person acquired 80 – Community acquired (see map of local health jurisdictions reporting community transmission - PDF) 138 – Under investigation Approximately 11,700 people are self-monitoring, across 49 local health jurisdictions, after returning to the U.S. from travel. Nineteen public health labs in California are testing for COVID-19. These labs include the California Department of Public Health's Laboratory in Richmond, Alameda, Contra Costa, Humboldt, Los Angeles, Monterey, Napa-Solano-Yolo-Marin (located in Solano), Orange, Sacramento, San Bernardino, San Diego, San Francisco, San Joaquin, San Luis Obispo, Santa Clara, Shasta, Sonoma, Tulare and Ventura County public health laboratories. The Richmond Laboratory will provide diagnostic testing within a 48-hour turnaround time. More public health labs will soon be able to test for COVID-19. This means California public health officials will get test results sooner, so that patients will get the best care.
