Coronavirus: Bay Area begins to see more deaths as California continues to break records
11,100 new cases, 138 new deaths and the second-highest single-day increase in hospitalizations

California had one of its grimmest days yet of the coronavirus crisis Tuesday, reporting near-record numbers of new cases and deaths.
The state added 11,100 positive tests to its COVID-19 case count and 138 to its death toll from the virus, while hospitalizations climbed to new highs, according to data compiled by this news organization. Both cases and deaths would be daily records if not for inflated data on July 6 from delays over the holiday weekend. Nonetheless, the seven-day averages for each number rose to 8,792 cases per day 54% higher than two weeks ago and 95 deaths per day, a 50% increase in two weeks.
The state also saw its second-highest single-day increase in hospital patients confirmed to have the virus, adding 260 for a total of 6,745 on Monday, the most recent day for which data was available. The total rose 4% on Monday alone and has increased 33% from two weeks ago (incidentally, the day with the only larger single-day increase June 29, when there were 301 new patients and 5,077 total).
In the Bay Area, there was no doubt about the numbers to start the week: the region reported a record number of new cases Monday, then followed it by nearly matching that number Tuesday. Hospitalizations were up 7% Monday from the day before and 53% higher than two weeks ago; the 649 patients on Monday were the most of any point in the pandemic. Even deaths, which so far had not hit the region as hard as other parts of the state, have begun to rise here following their upward trend statewide that started a little over a week ago.
