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, daily reports published by the state show 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 05001,0001,500Mar. 15Mar. 1Feb. 15Feb. 1 California Department of Public Health So far, 25 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. What is closed or restricted? Gov. Gavin Newsom on Thursday ordered all Californians to stay at home, placing mandatory restrictions on the lives of all 40 million residents. No time frame was set for when the order would end. It is unclear exactly how far the order will reach in communities where some operations, such as schools, have not been closed. Many county health agencies have already banned gatherings and closed schools and stores. More than 10 counties have directed residents to shelter in place, the most restrictive measures in the U.S. Here's a survey of the measures currently in place in the state's largest counties. https://www.latimes.com/projects/california-coronavirus-cases-tracking-outbreak/ Edited March 23, 2020 by niman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
