California records dozens of new coronavirus cases. Here is what you need to know

Coronavirus continued its spread across California, with many counties including Los Angeles reporting new cases.

The numbers reflect more people getting tested but also what officials say is the certainty that the virus is spreading into communities. Santa Clara County so far has been hardest hit, with 91 cases and two deaths.

Officials have urged people to follow social isolation and have prohibited many types of public gatherings.

But on Saturday, stores were raided by shoppers, many who found some of their go-to product shelves empty.

Here is a sampling of the new case totals:

Los Angeles: 54
San Francisco: 28
Santa Clara: 91
Sacramento: 29
Orange: 13
San Diego:
Riverside: 14
Contra Costa: 29

SAN DIEGO: Two healthcare workers at UC San Diego Health have confirmed COVID-19 infections and are now on home quarantine, according to a statement released by the university Saturday afternoon.

Both employees are said to be in good health, and the university has “launched an extensive effort to identify any patients or health system colleagues who may have been in recent contact with either of the two health workers.”
