Three months into California’s battle with the coronavirus, there are growing signs that the outbreak is ebbing even as the state death toll continues to climb past 3,400.

Twenty California counties have re-opened, but according to a Times analysis, testing to date remains low in many rural parts of the state. One challenge: Some residents don’t want it.

The vast majority of California isn’t close to meeting Gov. Gavin Newsom’s reopening requirements, a Times analysis finds.

California’s coronavirus death toll continues to rise, even as the growth of cases appears to be slowing in the state.

Coronavirus: L.A. County -- and the Southern California region -- seeing an outsized number of deaths

Public health officials reported 399 new coronavirus infections, bringing the county’s total to 10,854.

L.A. County officials warned Friday that the region needs to increase social distancing to slow the spread of coronavirus. Stay-at-home restrictions could remain into summer.

As Bay Area coronavirus infection rate eases, the focus turns to Southern California, especially L.A. County, with 6,000 cases and rising: a good week to “skip shopping altogether.”

One in three cases of COVID-19 in Sacramento County have been linked to church gatherings, public health officials said.

The coronavirus continues to spread rapidly in the Bay Area and Seattle, but so far at a rate slower than in the country’s other hot spots such as New York, New Jersey, Michigan and Louisiana.
