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.

What we know

  • Stay-at-home orders have returned. Counties in Southern California, the Bay Area and the San Joaquin Valley have tightened up. The Greater Sacramento region will be under a stricter lockdown on Thursday.
  • New cases have been surging. Over the last seven days, the state has averaged 26,748 cases per day, a 96.4% increase from two weeks ago. Roughly 10% of tests this past week have come back positive.
  • Hospitalizations have never been higher. There are now 11,012 patients statewide with a confirmed case, a new state record and 78% more than two weeks ago.
  • More deaths are expected. The state has averaged 146.1 daily deaths over the last week. When case counts increase, the death toll typically rises soon after.
  • Disparities in age and race persist. Roughly 74% of the dead were 65 or older. After adjusting for population, Latinos are now 2.8 times more likely than whites to test positive.

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 34.1 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 26,748 new cases and 146.1 new deaths per day.

Seven-day averages offer a more stable view of the trend than daily totals. On the cases chart, gray bars mark 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 54 counties, keeping those areas largely locked down. Together they are home to 99% 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.

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. After adjusting for population, Latinos are now 2.8 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.
