Coronavirus Cases ‘Trending Down’ in California, Governor Says
Gov. Gavin Newsom said on Monday that the total number of people testing positive for the coronavirus was on the decline.
I want to give you some good news, and that is our number of positive cases yesterday was 5,739. That is a one-day number. And again, I’ve made this point abundant over the past. And that is, I don’t look to one-day numbers.They go up, they go down, there’s some weekend reporting often that is an example on Mondays. That’s why the seven-day average becomes even more important. And that seven-day average you’ll see at 7,764. Average daily tests continue to go up. The good news is, the total number of people testing positive is now going down. We have gone down to 7 percent. This, reflected in this slide over a 14-day period, shows that 7.5 percent number that we presented to you on multiple occasions now again tracking down to 7 percent. So, 14-day positivity rate, reflected in the slide: 7 percent. This seven-day positivity rate now down to 6.1 percent is not where it needs to be. It is still too high. But again, it is good to see this number trending down, not trending up.
