WHERE WE STAND

As of Monday afternoon, L.A. County has 942 deaths and at least 20,417 confirmed cases of coronavirus, reflecting 29 new deaths and another 900 new cases.

The U.S. is among a number of countries experiencing large-scale epidemics. The map above shows cumulative confirmed cases, deaths and recoveries and is updated in near real-time throughout the day. Zoom out to see more of the world.

Below are the recent totals for the United States and the nine other countries reporting the most confirmed cases of COVID-19. Italy, Spain, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Turkey and Iran are all reporting more confirmed cases than China, where the outbreak began late last year, but whose reported numbers have since greatly slowed.

These numbers are changing rapidly and experts have warned that confirmed cases are far under the actual total of infected individuals. For more detail check the full tracker, which includes death tolls and projections of cases on the Johns Hopkins Center for Systems Science and Engineering site. Engineers there are collecting data from:

• World Health Organization
• U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
• European Center for Disease Prevention and Control
• National Health Commission of the People's Republic of China
• Local media reports, local health departments, and the DXY

IN CALIFORNIA

Wednesday, April 22 marked the deadliest 24 hours of coronavirus in the state.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom reported Thursday that 115 people died the previous day, underscoring the vital responsibility to stay home and limit the spread of the virus.

[A previous version of this story incorrectly gave the number of deaths reported that day as 1,469, which was the total deaths at that point. LAist regrets the error.]

Earlier this month, Newsom announced a framework of six parameters he says it will take to reopen the state's economy. L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti announced a similar five-pillar plan.

Statewide, our friends on the L.A. Times data desk are tracking cases in California by surveying "numbers released by the dozens of local health agencies across the state." As of about 1:00 p.m. Monday, the newspaper is reporting California has:

• 43,942 confirmed cases
• 1,725 deaths

FLATTEN THE CURVE

As new cases continue to be confirmed, Californians are continuing to be under "safer at home" and "social distancing" orders. State and county officials have ordered the vast majority of Californians to strictly limit interactions with other people, wash hands frequently, and stay 6 feet away from others.

Remember, the goal of social distancing is to "flatten the curve" of COVID-19's spread.
