The coronavirus 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. So far today, 18 of the 61 agencies we’re monitoring have reported new numbers.

What we know

What is the trend over time?

The state’s first case was confirmed near the end of January. The total grew slowly at first, then much faster as tests became more widely available.

The number of cases in California is now on pace to double every 24.3 days, a reflection of how quickly the virus is spreading.

Coronavirus can infect people so rapidly that government officials have issued shutdown orders aimed at slowing the growth of new cases and flattening this line.

Times survey of county and local health departments

Local governments announce new cases and deaths each day, though bottlenecks in testing and reporting lags can introduce delays. For instance, some agencies do not report new totals on weekends, leading to lower numbers on those days.

The lines above are seven-day averages. They offer a more stable view of the trend than daily totals. That's why experts wait for lines like these to flatten before they say conditions are improving.

Growth varies from county to county, but most areas are still climbing.

The chart below is adjusted to show how quickly new cases are being confirmed in each county. A good sign is when a line flattens, which indicates that transmission is slowing in that area.

This chart tracks cumulative cases after each county confirmed its 10th case. Case counts are plotted on a logarithmic scale, which makes it easier to see when cases level off. Doubling rate is the estimate of how long it would take the county to double its number of cases, given the trend in the last week.

How many people are hospitalized?

One goal of the state's stay-at-home mandate is to slow the virus in hope of preventing hospitals from being overrun.

The state health department started tracking hospitalizations of confirmed and suspected COVID-19 patients on April 1. Since then, the number of people admitted to California hospitals and intensive-care units has remained steady.

How many tests have been run?

A disorganized web of city, county and state facilities, as well as a growing number of private for-profit labs, are conducting tests. Officials have struggled to keep tabs.

After a series of what he called “fits and starts” in test tracking, Gov. Newsom promised better organization and a “new day.” His administration now sets the total number of tests conducted in California at 747,874 following a sudden shift in how tests are counted.
