The state of California is poised to surpass 3 million positive COVID-19 cases within two days, according to data from the California Department of Public Health.

On Sunday, the state health department reported 42,229 new cases and 432 new deaths.

Los Angeles County, the hardest hit in the state, surpassed 1 million cases on Saturday. Dodger Stadium, the largest vaccination site in the country, reopened on Friday, but officials told ABC News they only have enough doses to last until Wednesday.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is urging the federal government to send more COVID-19 vaccines to the state as the variant that originated in the U.K. continues to spread.

Nearly 14,000 positive tests were reported Sunday, with 18 known cases of the variant and an infection rate of 5.6%, Cuomo announced.

While 7 million New York residents are currently eligible to receive the vaccine, the federal government sent less vaccines than what was expected, he added.

"We have the weapon that will win this war and we can see the light at the end of the tunnel, but how fast we get there depends upon two things-our own individual actions and the federal supply, which is where we are facing the greatest challenge," Cuomo said in a statement.

The U.S. is forecast to have almost 500,000 COVID-19 deaths by mid-February, incoming CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said on CBS’ "Face the Nation" Sunday morning.

She added, "That doesn't speak to the tens of thousands of people who are living with a yet uncharacterized syndrome after they've recovered."

Walensky, who was appointed by the Biden administration, believes that 100 million more doses of the vaccine will be available within the next 100 days.

"That is what the president-elect has promised," she said. “It will be a hefty lift, but we have it in us to do that.”

People seeking COVID-19 vaccines in Houston were sent away from Minute Maid Park after appointments were overbooked.

The Houston Health Department announced Saturday that it had run out of vaccines by 6 p.m. after it had administered 5,451 doses at the site, where the line wrapped around the building, ABC Houston station KTRK reported. Several people left without getting vaccinated.

Houston Health Department Stephen Williams said during a press conference Saturday he warned the mayor that there wouldn’t be enough doses to last the week.

The city received “a little” over 30,000 doses, Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner said in a statement.

A new, more infectious variant of the novel coronavirus that was first detected in the United Kingdom has now been discovered in Mexico.

The strain, called B117, was confirmed in a 56-year-old foreign citizen who had traveled from Amsterdam to Mexico City on Dec. 28, and then to the northeastern city of Matamoros the following day. The individual was asymptomatic when he arrived in the country, according to Mexico's director general of epidemiology, Jose Luis Alomia Zegarra.

After testing positive for COVID-19, the man was admitted to a Mexican hospital last week where he remains intubated, Zegarra said.

Genomic sequencing of the patient's sample that tested positive for COVID-19 revealed its B117 lineage. More than 500 suspected cases of the U.K. variant have been tested in Mexico, but this is the country's first verified case, according to Zegarra.

Mexican health authorities are tracking contacts of the patient, including people who traveled on the same flight. Two individuals who showed symptoms have since tested negative for COVID-19, while another 31 are asymptomatic and remain in isolation. Officials have been unable to locate 12 others, Zegarra said.

The highly contagious strain has become prevalent in London and other parts of southeast England, after first being identified in the English county of Kent in September. The B117 variant has since been detected in over a dozen other countries.
