California moves past New York, now tops in US for coronavirus cases

July 23, 2020 09:59

A record one-day total of newly confirmed coronavirus cases gave California more than 415,000 since the pandemic began, sending it past New York for the most in the country, data from Wednesday showed.

Californias cases have climbed rapidly in the last month, punctuated by the 12,807 recorded Tuesday, while New Yorks have fallen to less than 1,000 per day. Californias overall total is about 6,000 more than New Yorks, according to a tally by Johns Hopkins University.

The surge of cases in California came after much of its economy was reopened in May and early June following nearly three months under the nations first statewide stay-at-home order that forced most businesses to close and restricted where people could go.
