The COVID-19 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.

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.

The number of cases in California is now on pace to double every 171.7 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 3,267 new cases and 64.6 new deaths per day.

The lines above are seven-day averages. They offer a more stable view of the trend than daily totals. The gray range marks 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 counties to determine when and how businesses reopen. After adjusting for population, the virus is now categorized as widespread in 16 counties, keeping those areas largely locked down. Together they are home to 40% of California residents.

The government doesn't release enough data to replicate its analysis, but the rate of new cases over the last seven days provides some insight into where the virus is spreading.

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.

There are now 2,264 hospital patients statewide with a confirmed case, a change of -5% from two weeks ago.

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 3.3 times more likely to test positive than white people.

California in context

To date, the United States has recorded 7,713,394 coronavirus cases and 214,290 deaths. In the last week, the country has averaged 47,885 new cases and 711 deaths per day.

While California — America’s most populous state — leads the nation in cases, it ranks much lower after adjusting for population. Home to 12% of the country's population, thus far it has accounted for roughly 11% of cases.
