The Central Valley is among the areas of the nation that federal officials are particularly worried about. Dr. Anthony Fauci, the U.S. government's top infectious diseases expert, said the big problem is the uptick in the rate at which coronavirus tests are confirming infections.
The 14-day positive test rate climbed to 24% in Kern County on Monday, more than triple the state's average of 7% on that day.
"This is a predictor of trouble ahead," Fauci said on CNN Thursday. A high rate of tests confirming infections is "a clear indication that you are getting an uptick in cases, which inevitably — as we've seen in the Southern states — leads to surges, and then you get hospitalizations, and then you get deaths."
