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.

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.
