CA now has 6,932 confirmed cases of COVID 19 and 150 deaths

The California Department of Public Health today announced the most recent statistics on COVID-19. California now has 6,932 confirmed cases and 150 deaths. For more information on COVID-19 and California's response visit the California Department of Public Health website.

As of March 30, approximately 86,100+ * tests had been conducted in California. At least 28,704 results have been received and another 57,400 are pending. These numbers include data California has received from commercial, private and academic labs, including Quest, LabCorp, Kaiser, University of California and Stanford, and the 22 state and county health labs currently testing.

*This week’s cumulative testing numbers are lower than last week due to an inadvertent over-reporting error discovered by one of the private labs.

Every person has a role to play. Protecting yourself and your family comes down to common sense:

Staying home except for essential needs/activities.
Practicing social distancing.
Washing hands with soap and water for a minimum of 20 seconds.
Avoiding touching eyes, nose or mouth with unwashed hands.
Covering a cough or sneeze with your sleeve, or disposable tissue.
Wash your hands afterward.
Avoiding close contact with people who are sick.
Staying away from work, school or other people if you become sick with respiratory symptoms like fever and cough.
Following guidance from public health officials.

If you are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 (fever, cough or shortness of breath) and may have had contact with a person with COVID-19, or recently traveled to countries with apparent community spread, call your health care provider before seeking medical care so that appropriate precautions can be taken.
