SACRAMENTO – The California Department of Public Health today announced the most recent statistics on COVID-19.

·         California has 561,911 confirmed cases to date. Numbers may not represent true day-over-day change as reporting of test results can be delayed.

·         There have been 8,998,353 tests conducted in California. This represents an increase of 172,234 over the prior 24-hour reporting period.

·         As case numbers continue to rise in California, the total number of individuals who will have serious outcomes will also increase. There have been 10,359 COVID-19 deaths since the start of the pandemic.

·         A total of 38 counties are required to close indoor operations for certain sectors based on the July 13 order to slow community transmission.

Note: The issue with the state’s electronic laboratory reporting system has been addressed and the system is now performing as expected. The entire backlog has been completely eliminated, and new cases attributed to the backlog will be reported over the next few days.
