The increasing number of cases in California prompted Governor Gavin Newsom to close indoor bars, theaters and restaurants in most states ahead of the US July 4 Independence Day.

California with a population of around 30 million also includes Los Angeles County. “The point is that the spread of this virus continues at a very alarming rate,” Newsom was quoted as saying South China Morning Post.

California confirmed cases have increased by almost 50% in the past two weeks. Newsom said California had nearly 5,900 new cases and 110 deaths from the corona virus in just the past 24 hours.
