New cases of COVID-19 continue to rise every day in the United States. There were an average of 73.7 new daily cases of the COVID-19 for every 100,000 Americans in the last week, up from 65.2 new daily cases per 100,000 the week before.

Since the first known COVID-19 case was identified in the U.S. on Jan. 21, 2020, there have been a total of about 22,050,000 confirmed cases of the novel coronavirus in the United States — or 6,740 for every 100,000 people.

In California, the infection rate is slightly higher than the national average. Since the first known case of COVID-19 was reported in California on Jan. 25, 2020, there have been 2,670,962 total infections in the state — or 6,752 for every 100,000 people. Of all 50 states and Washington D.C., California ranks No. 30 by cumulative COVID-19 cases, adjusted for population.

Though COVID-19 infections are more concentrated in California, deaths are not. So far, there have been 29,701 COVID-19 related deaths in California, or 75 for every 100,000 people. Meanwhile, the national COVID-19 death rate stands at 111 per 100,000 Americans.

California implemented strict measures early in the pandemic to help slow the virus’s spread. On March 19, 2020, California implemented a temporary statewide stay-at-home order to limit person-to-person contact.
