California COVID-19 Positive Cases at the Highest in the Nation, and at a Critical Level Locally

According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), California now has the worst surge in the U.S. with 98 cases per 100,000 people. Monterey County cities are creating part of this alarming statistic.

Starting today, we will bring you daily COVID-19 positive case numbers for the 93940 zip code, and include the current case load at the Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula (CHOMP):

Together, we really can change course and defeat the coronavirus. The sooner we do, the fewer people impacted, and the quicker the economy will recover. Please do your part to stop the surge.
