California reported 7,149 new confirmed coronavirus cases Tuesday,
shattering its single-day record. Santa Clara County reported the
highest number of cases in the past two months. Experts say that
some of the rise in cases can be attributed to an increase in
testing, but they warn that testing alone is not responsible for
the surge. Gov. Gavin Newsom, who last week mandated
Californians wear masks in public places, is also urging
residents to use precautions like hand-washing and social
distancing, and he warned that the state could reinstate more
stringent restrictions. We’ll hear from experts about what is
causing the spike and what we should do to prevent further spread.
