California surpasses 10,000 coronavirus deaths

California on Friday surpassed 10,000 coronavirus deaths, a grim milestone that puts the state third for the most deaths in the country, according to data collected by Johns Hopkins University. There are more than 540,000 confirmed cases in the state.

The only states with more fatalities are New York, with over 32,700 deaths, and New Jersey, with over 15,800.

Worldwide, over 716,400 people have died from the virus, according to Johns Hopkins. The U.S. accounts for about a quarter of the world's deaths, with 160,700 people succumbing to the virus.

California became the first U.S. state to hit half a million cases on August 1, and over 8,000 new cases were reported on Thursday, according to the state's department of health.
