The Hill-
As California coronavirus cases continue to soar past the relative plateau the state saw from late March to mid-May, state officials are working to identify the root of the case growth.
On Wednesday, Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) implored Californians to not let their guard down, continue to practice social distancing and wear masks to prevent the spread of the virus.
The Sacramento Bee reports that he also noted that part of the increase in the total number of infections is a result of increased testing, but that much of the spread throughout the state can be traced to small gatherings of family and friends at private homes.
