LOS ANGELES California once again shattered a new daily record for most number of coronavirus cases in a single day on Monday, a troubling sign days before a Christmas holiday that officials fear could bring still greater spread of the virus.
A preliminary county-by-county tally conducted by the Los Angeles Times for Monday found at least 62,000 new coronavirus cases reported the most in a single day since Friday, when 53,326 coronavirus cases were reported.
The state is now averaging at least 44,000 new coronavirus cases a day over the past week more than seven times the comparable figure from six weeks ago.

FRESNO, Calif. (CN) The nation’s largest farmworkers union urged a federal judge in California Monday to halt a pending wage freeze for immigrant workers, arguing the Trump administration rushed the contentious plan that could save farmers a combined $167 million annually in labor costs.
In a last-minute attempt to prevent the freeze from taking effect on Dec. 21, California-based United Farm Workers accused the feds in virtual oral arguments of “catching everyone off guard” with the rule change that stands to cut the average worker’s pay by 4% over the next two years. The union blasted the Trump administration for rewriting a law intended to protect workers and turning it into a boon for employers.
