CALIFORNIA has become the second state to pass one million Covid cases — as states throughout the US start up new restrictions to slow the surge.
The Golden State’s new record numbers follow behind Texas, which reported over one million cases of the deadly virus on Wednesday.

The two states alone make up roughly 20 percent of the United States’ total number of cases — which is over 10.8million infections.
More than 248,000 people have died in the US from the virus.
California Governor Gavin Newsom said this week that, “Obviously it’s sobering, these numbers.”
“But again the total capacity that we built out, the ability to test being substantially greater than it was just even a few weeks ago, let alone a few months ago, and the ample inventory of over 500 million masks and other related PPE is significant.”
