To better understand the COVID-19 pandemic, 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 29.4 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 45,186 new cases and 258.4 new deaths per day. Experts say the true number of people infected is unknown and likely much higher than official tallies.

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 regions and counties to determine when and how businesses reopen.

The government doesn‘t release enough data to replicate its analysis, but the rate of new cases per 100,000 residents over the last seven days provides insight into where the virus is spreading.

After adjusting for population, the virus is now categorized as widespread in 55 the state's 58 counties, which results in stricter rules being put into place. Together they are home to 99% of California residents.

Hospitals and patients

Stay-at-home orders aim to slow the virus in hope of preventing hospitals from being overrun. To keep tabs on available beds, officials watch out for rapid increases in the number of patients.

There are now 17,843 hospital patients statewide with a confirmed case, a change of 69% from two weeks ago.

Officials also closely monitor the number of beds open in intensive-care units. The latest data show that there are 1,399 available statewide.

Officials have organized the state’s counties into five regions. If a region’s available percentage of intensive-care beds falls below 15%, a stay-at-home order is issued. Three regions currently fail.

Vaccines

California officials have begun to distribute the state’s first batch of coronavirus vaccine. The initial shipments are expected to add up to about 1.2 million doses and are being administered to healthcare workers who face the greatest exposure to the virus and residents of long-term care facilities, such as nursing homes.

The state has yet to release figures on how many people have been vaccinated so far. Officials are still drafting a plan on how to roll out the shot beyond the initial group. It is unclear when essential workers and other Californians will have access.

Phase 1

Healthcare workers and long-term care residents

Doctors and nurses on the front lines are now receiving shots. Other healthcare workers and nursing homes come next in this step.

 

Phase 2

Essential workers

Emergency personnel, teachers and farmworkers are expected to be next in line. There is no start date. Who else will qualify is undecided.

 

Phase 3

Everyone else

It’s unclear how long the rest of California’s nearly 40 million residents may wait. Experts say shots may be readily available by late spring or summer.

Testing

After a fitful start, California has increased coronavirus testing in the state. Over the last week, an average of 335,017 tests have been conducted each day.

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 2.7 times more likely to test positive than white people.

Nursing homes

Nursing homes are a tragic focal point of the outbreak. Residents and staff have accounted for 5% the state's coronavirus cases, but 35% of its deaths.

California in context

To date, the United States has recorded 17,642,882 coronavirus cases and 316,028 deaths. In the last week, the country has averaged 215,601 new cases and 2,607 deaths per day.

While California — America’s most populous state — has the nation’s top case counts, 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.

The same is true for deaths. So far, California has accounted for 7% of deaths nationwide. It still trails far behind New York, where deaths surged in the early days of the pandemic.
