In California, Santa Clara County announced its first death from the virus. The woman was in her 60s and had been hospitalized for several weeks, according to the county's health department.

"This is a tragic development. The Public Health Department is taking necessary, carefully considered steps to slow down the spread of the disease and to protect those at greatest risk," Sara Cody, health officer for Santa Clara County, said in a statement. "We are facing a historic public health challenge and know this is a very difficult time. Our top priority continues to be protecting the health of our community."

The county said the woman who died did not have any known history of travel or contact with someone who did, suggesting her case is linked to community transmission.

Florida reported two coronavirus deaths over the weekend, so the total U.S. death toll now stands at 26.
