Coronavirus updates: 84% of California population to go on lockdown Sunday night

The U.S. has now reported over 100,000 cases every day for more than a month straight, and over 200,000 cases for the last three consecutive days, according to health data.

The country reported more than 1.3 million COVID-19 cases in the last week, which is more than any other week on record, the health data showed.

In the last month, the average number of daily cases has doubled. 

The U.S. is currently averaging over 186,793 new coronavirus cases every day, the highest the average has been since the beginning of the pandemic, according to health data.

Since last week, there have been nearly new 15,000 COVID-19 related deaths, with five days over the 2,000 mark, the health data showed.

That is roughly equivalent to 88 COVID-19 related deaths reported every hour. 

The U.S. is currently averaging 2,123 reported COVID-19 deaths a day, that average has increased by 142% since last month, according to the health data.

Hospitalizations continue to surge to unprecedented levels, with over 101,000 patients currently hospitalized with COVID-19 across the country, according to the health data.

Current hospitalizations have nearly doubled in the last month, the health data showed.

Los Angeles County set a new record number of coronavirus cases Sunday, the Health Department said.

The county saw 10,528 new cases and 23 new deaths, according to the Health Department. There are 2,855 people currently hospitalized, the Health Department said.

Los Angeles leads the country with total number of cases, 439,408, and total fatalities, 7,886, according to Johns Hopkins University's Coronavirus Resource Center.

Multiple states have reported records for new daily cases of the coronavirus on Sunday.

California recorded 30,075 new cases and 85 deaths, according to the state's COVID-19 dashboard. The state goes into a stricter lockdown starting on Sunday night.

North Carolina also broke its record with 6,438 new cases.

Earlier on Sunday, New Jersey reported 6,046 additional cases.

Just one day after California recorded its highest daily case count ever -- 25,000 cases in a single day and nearly 9,000 cases in Los Angeles County alone -- 33 million residents in the state are returning to some of the strictest lockdown procedures since the start of the pandemic.

The restrictions begin at midnight local time.

The lockdown comes as health officials have warned if there is not a significant change in the rise in cases, hospitals in the state could be out of available beds by Christmas.

In hard-hit Imperial County, there are only two ICU beds remaining, according to county data. In Los Angeles County, the number of hospitalized COVID-19 patients has increased 106% in the past three days.

Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti said on Friday, "8860 cases, a number I can hardly believe, that just a few weeks ago would have been unimaginable. We're on the verge of reaching 10,000 cases daily with the numbers that we're seeing this week."

As part of the lockdown, gatherings of people from different households will be prohibited, except for outdoor services and political demonstrations.

All outdoor dining must immediately close, hair and nail salons, playgrounds, zoos, museums, aquariums and wineries must also be closed.

Nonessential travel is banned and stays at campgrounds, overnight or short-term, will not be permitted. Retail can remain open, but only at 20% capacity.
