The state has so far confirmed nearly 4,700 positive coronavirus cases with 94 deaths total including one non-California resident. 1,083 of the positive tests were community-acquired cases.
The health department also on Friday afternoon unveiled a new COVID-19 website that provides breakdowns of the ages and genders of people who have tested positive and people who have died from the novel coronavirus.
The COVID-19 data dashboard shows more than 50 percent of the 574 positive tests belong to people under the age of 50; however only one person under 50 has died from the virus in Santa Clara County.
More cases are expected in the coming days, according to the health department.
"Because of limited testing capacity through the Public Health Laboratory, the number of cases that we detect through testing represent only a small portion of the total number of likely cases in the county," the health department said.
Other data on the county's dashboard shows 53 percent of the positive tests are from men and 70 percent of the deaths (14 of 20) are men.
