Data is by date reported by DPH, but does not necessarily represent the date of testing, hospitalization, or death.

* Number reflects an undercount due to a lag from weekend reporting.

** Friday case and death counts include a week’s worth of cases/deaths reported by Long Beach and are therefore artificially high.

^ Data for past dates is subject to change in future reports
