For a third straight day, San Francisco reported a record number of new confirmed cases of COVID-19, the respiratory illness caused by the coronavirus.

There are 56 new cases and the city’s third death from the virus, health officials announced Friday morning. Its total number of cases is now 279, more than twice of what it was when the week began.

There was no immediate information available on the victim’s age and whether he or she had any underlying health issues. San Francisco officials said the city’s first victim, who died Tuesday, was a man in his 40s with multiple medical conditions but have provided little information on the two who have died since.

When officials announced the city’s first death on Tuesday, there were 152 people in San Francisco confirmed to have the coronavirus. By Friday, that number had grown to 279.

San Francisco has reported more than 100 new cases just in the past two days, mirroring what is expected from the rest of the Bay Area and California as testing ramps up. According to the latest numbers provided by the state, more than 57,000 of the 77,000 tests administered were still awaiting results.

South of San Francisco, bordering San Mateo County also on Friday reported its highest increase of cases yet, 44 new positive tests for a total of 239. Late Thursday night, the statewide total climbed over 4,000, with more than 1,400 in the Bay Area.
