California Surpasses New York in Most Confirmed Virus Cases

California has surpassed New York for the most coronavirus cases in the country, surpassing 409,000 after setting a record on Tuesday for the state’s most confirmed new cases in a single day since the start of the pandemic.

The surge of cases comes as California, the nation’s most populous state with nearly 40 million people, reopened much of its economy in May. Since then, Gov. Gavin Newsom has imposed new restrictions on about 35 counties — including banning indoor worship services and in-person instruction at schools.

“We are a state, again, the size of 21 states combined, so it’s not surprising now in some respects as we begin to reopen key sectors of our economy … that our numbers would start to go up,” Newsom said Wednesday.

But California’s cases have steadily climbed, with the state confirming 12,807 new cases on Tuesday — its highest single day total since the start of the pandemic.

California is by far the most populous U.S. state, with nearly 40 million people, while New York has about 19.5 million.
