California’s count of confirmed COVID-19 cases continued to climb over the weekend, with the state reporting nearly 1,000 additional cases on Sunday alone.

According to data compiled by this news organization, there were 856 newly reported positive tests in California in the 24-hour period beginning 5 p.m. Saturday, pushing its total number to 6,302. In that same period, the death toll grew to 132, an increase of 14 coronavirus-related casualties.

On the same day the state reported its 3,000th case, California HHS secretary Dr. Mark Ghaly said they were seeing statewide cases “doubling every three to four days,” as opposed to six or seven. In the four days since, the statewide total has more than doubled.

The U.S. total has more than doubled in that time, as well, from just over 65,000 on Thursday to 143,055 — the most in the world — as of Monday morning, according to Johns Hopkins University. The nationwide death toll climbed to more than 2,500, according to Johns Hopkins.

Because of testing delays, it could take more time before California’s curve begins to bend. Stay-at-home orders have been in place for nearly two weeks now, with officials expected to extend them to May 1, yet many more confirmed cases could be on the horizon.

It’s thought it takes about two weeks to begin to see the effects of social distancing because the virus has an incubation period of up to 14 days. But that length of time grows the longer it takes to receive test results.

The state had conducted 89,600 tests as of Friday afternoon but only received results from just over 25,000 of them. More than 64,000 are pending. With a positive-test rate of 18.4% in the results that have come back, that would mean nearly 12,000 more cases across the state, which has a population of 39.7 million.

The Bay Area, comprising about 8 million people across 10 counties, crossed the 2,000-case threshold Monday morning, with San Mateo and San Francisco each reporting about a 10% increase over the previous day.
