Medical personnel to augment staff at eight hospitals in the state. Exactly how many covid19 cases there are in california tonight is unclear.

In the bay area, the count of positive cases has increased by 878 for a total of more than 59,000. Some counties say the data glitch started showing up last friday. Quest, which is the most high volume lab that does the most testing in the state of california, we havent received a report from quest since july 31. Without the data, california counties are in the dark, unaware if cases are going up or down. The state told all labs to report to local Health Officials so they cn manually look at the data and deep Contract Tracing going. So theres a lot more negative cases than positive cases. Theyre pulling out the positive cases and assigning those as soon as we know about it. Reporter until fixed, the California Department of Public Health says the state has stopped adding and removing counties from the watch list. And it could stall the governors plan to let some Elementary Schools reopen. The state has been working on this and has really deployed a team and were working 24 7 to try to figure out where the data is getting stuck. Now, hospitalization and death figures are reported through different systems and dont appear to have been affected by this. Hospitalizations are down, and are now below average.
