Without fanfare — or one of Governor Gavin Newsom’s regular press conferences — California quietly posted the news that there were 11,126 new confirmed coronavirus cases reported on Wednesday
. But last week’s record was padded by numbers from delayed tests. There is little indication of any such delays being included in Wednesday’s number.
The total number of deaths is 7,227, an increase of 140. That increase is the second-highest daily COVID-related death count ever seen in the state, not far behind the all-time high reported last Thursday with 149 lives lost over the past 24 hours. The previous high before those two peaks had been 115 deaths.
The day after the county reported a record number of hospitalizations, Ferrer said, “We now see a 3 day average of over 2,000 people hospitalized from COVID-19, more than at any other time since the pandemic began.” As a result, health officials indicated that the number of ICU beds may become inadequate. Hospital officials are implementing disaster orders to try and surge personnel.
When asked about a renewed Safer-At-Home order, Ferrer said, “We can’t take anything off the table. We have to do everything we can to protect the health care system. Do we want to go back to a Safer-At home order? Absolutely not.”On Monday California Governor Gavin Newsom ordered all counties to close their restaurants, movie theaters, family entertainment centers, wineries, zoos and bars for indoor service. Bars were ordered to close entirely.
