The Golden State no longer leads the nation in the seven-day average of new cases of COVID-19; that title goes to Texas, though California is a close second on Feb. 6. In per capita cases, the Golden State plummeted to #19 with 35 cases per 100,000 people, according to Covid Act Now on Feb. 7. South Carolina leads with 64 cases per 100k. The national average is 36 cases per 100k.
