According to the CDPH, California has 784,324 confirmed cases to date. Numbers may not represent true day-over-day change as reporting of test results can be delayed.
There were 2,630 newly recorded confirmed cases Monday. Numbers do not represent true day-over-day change as these results include cases from prior to yesterday.
The 7-day positivity rate is 2.8 percent and the 14-day positivity rate is 3.0 percent.
There have been 13,804,055 tests conducted in California. This represents an increase of 131,273 over the prior 24-hour reporting period.
There have been 15,071 COVID-19 deaths since the start of the pandemic.
The testing turnaround dashboard reports how long California patients are waiting for COVID-19 test results. During the week of September 6 to September 12, the average time patients waited for test results was 1.2 days. During this same time period, 69 percent of patients received test results in 1 day and 90 percent received them within two days. The testing turnaround time dashboard is updated weekly.
