California’s latest COVID-19 surge may be slowing, early data suggest

LOS ANGELES — There are initial signs that California’s latest wave of coronavirus cases may be slowing, although it’ll take more time to be certain.

California reported an average of 13,800 new coronavirus cases a day over the past week, according to data released Friday, down 12% from the previous week. That’s 247 cases a week for every 100,000 residents. A rate of 100 cases a week for every 100,000 residents is considered a high rate of viral transmission.

The trend is the first week-over-week decrease in cases in two months.
