Coronavirus California Update: Statewide Cases Soar Past 6,300; 132 Deaths
SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF) -- California is reporting another jump in novel coronavirus cases Monday, with 6,356 confirmed cases as of Monday morning, along with 132 deaths.
State health officials said there are now 22 public health labs testing samples for COVID-19. With increased testing, more positive cases are expected on a daily basis.
The Department of Public Health says the state has partnered with Verily's Project Baseline to launch a community COVID-19 testing program to expand screening and testing for high-risk individuals in certain areas of the state. High-risk individuals located in Santa Clara or San Mateo counties, or within 50 miles of the cities of Riverside or Sacramento, can complete the screener to see if they qualify for testing through this program. Potential participants need internet access and a Google account.
