Record high of new coronavirus cases reported in California: More than 6,000 in a day
Source: LA Times
California shattered a daily record for new coronavirus cases with more than 6,000 infections reported Monday the largest single-day count in the state since the pandemic hit the U.S.
In Los Angeles County, officials on Tuesday reported more than 2,000 new cases for the fourth time in the last week, bringing the total number of infections to more than 88,200. Officials also reported 34 additional deaths, increasing the death toll to 3,171 the bulk of the states total.
In San Diego County, officials reported more than 300 new cases for the second day in a row after breaking a record with more than 310 cases Sunday.
The case count is only one metric in tracking the spread of the virus, and, while increased testing capacity may account for part of the increase, officials have said the surge cannot be pegged to testing alone.

I just wish I saw more masks on out there then I do. I was thankful Gov. Newsom mandated them. My county finally did after that, but they sure did drag their feet on masks.

(3,334 posts)We live in a small town outside Jacksonville, NC. We shop for most things in a small grocery store where all workers wear masks and so do at least 90% of shoppers. We do have to go to a small city near us once a month for non-perishables. That store does a good job also to protect workers and shoppers. Luckily, my husband and I are healthy and check in with our primary care doctors at the VA clinic by phone and all are meds are mailed to us. We have a large family, 15 people, 6 on our property and 9 within 2 miles of us. We visit on the internet.
