stephanie elam from day one tracking it for us live in california. it is a back to the beginning moment almost or backwards moment for california with the rising case count. >> reporter: completely. a lot of people here especially in los angeles county which is the epicenter of the outbreak in the state wondering when we would see the numbers require to have the stay-at-home orders put back into place. if you take a look at the positivity rate, over the last seven days it is standing at 7.7%. on june 29th, it was at 6.1%. you are seeing for the covid patients that are in icu beds in the state, there's a 20% increase over the last 2 weeks. and the governor here has been saying that this is something that he was planning to do if we needed to to toggle back or to use his term a dimmer switch to bring back the rules so that we can see this peak in this number start to come back down but obviously this is just part of it here. another part of it is is wearing masks and talked to an epidemiologist saying we need people to wear a mask. full stop. that's wh

cnn's stephanie elam is in los angeles with more. again it's remarkable to watch california. they had it under control it seemed to reopen and now we're seeing this. what is it being blamed on? >> yeah. well when you look at the numbers overall, our positivity rate here in california is just around 7%. that's not as high as it could be, but still, when you look at the second highest number of new cases announced in a day yesterday, over 11,000, the deaths going up as well, overall, confirmed cases more than 437 thousand cases and icu admissions as well, it's more than 7,200. keep in mind, nearly half of those are from residents of skilled nursing homes and the number is coming from los angeles county here where the death's toll is just above 3,900. officials are saying it is possible that this county could go back into the stay at home order unless we get these numbers under control. this as they said they had the highest number of new covid hospitalizations ever during this time. the cases announced yesterday, 2,700. more than 2,700 here. so when you look at the numbers, thi

stephanie elam, thanks so much from los angeles. let's go to cnn's miguel marquez, in phoenix, arizona. another sunbelt state that's showing at least a flattening of cases there despite alarming infection rates along the southern border. what are we seeing and do we have any sense of what's working there? >> well, it's the mask orders they have finally allowed to go into effect. the governor disallowed them early and then put them into effect and now 90% of the counties have that in effect. for the first time in many, many weeks arizona does not hold the title of being positive for cases. for weeks and weeks in july, june and july, arizona was at a quarter of the people that tested positive. now it's 20%. and mississippi has the dubious honor of being number one. there's a high number of cases though still. even at 20% positivity across the entire state, most health officials suggest about 5% or lower is the point where you can really get on top of it and do the sort of contract tracing necessary. that said, places like santa cruz c

stephanie elam leading the reporting live in los angeles, the epicenter within the largest state. stephanie? >> reporter: that's right. when you look at the number that is california itself put out for the number of cases and the number of deaths using their numbers opposed to johns hopkins numbers and may not sync up exactly right but the numbers out of the state, 12,040 new cases yesterday and 157 deaths. that is a record number of deaths for the state and is the second highest number of one-day total of cases announced in a day. the positivity rate at 7.6% over the 14-day period and from the day before we did see icu patients drop about 4%. hospitalizations down almost 5% from the day before just to keep that in mind. i also want to point out some really discouraging data coming out as far as the latino population here in california. they make up 45% of the deaths and also more than 55% of the cases. a lot of this pointing to the fact that this population's a lot of front line workers keeping what's been of the economy, the food moving into this county and across the state. the

>> stephanie elam, thanks very much. numbers are important there. >>> the city of miami is upping penalties for those who refuse to wear a mask. rosa flores, the mayor says this will start immediately. is this because folks were pushing back against this requirement? >> you know, the mayor says that it's because it's working and that they have evidence to show that the mask mandate is actually helping and that's why he said that they're upping the fines for the first and second offenses. it's $100, for third offense you're getting a notice to appear before a judge or getting arrested. here are the positive signs in the state of florida. in the past two days the total of new cases is under $10,000. it's been hovering at around 9,500 hospitalizations. these are good signs of possible stabilization and you look at miami and the icus are operating at a high rate. 51 hospitals in 12 counties are requested more than 2,400 nurses. even though the state is reporting that there are about 15% icu beds available across the state, y

stephanie elam joins me now. good morning.sed but the fact that california is the state that instituted so many of these things like mask mandates and stay-at-home early on and then we're back at this point. >> reporter: it's very true, poppy. a lot of people are wondering how we got here. when you seat the record number of hospitalizations here, the mayor eric garcetti saying we are on the brink of a stay-at-home order again because of the record number of hospitalizations and noting of the ones announced yesterday the majority were people who were under the age of 41 years of age. so just think about that. this is different than what we saw earlier in the pandemic. things are changing here. he blames the fact there's a lack of national leadership and people are getting complacent. by talking to people here, i think that's also it. even though the virus is still rampantly spreading. that's affecting the numbers here and as well for california, which is now saying because of governor gavin newsom speaking on friday, he said th

stephanie elam live for us in los angeles. california deals with this challenge. stephanie, the numbers are overwhelming. the question is how do you fix it? >> reporter: that's right, john. you look at the overall amount of new cases that were announced in a day yesterday hitting a new record there of 12,807. we're seeing that hospitalizations continued to rise. went up by 79 new hospitalizations there, but the positivity rate, you were mentioning that before. you look at that over the 14-day period and it's at 7.4%, down ever so slightly from the day before that, but when you look at the seven-day it's at 7.6%, the state trying to keep that below 8% and obviously a concern here. here in los angeles county as we've discussed before is the heart of the outbreak in the state of california. we are seeing here that fourth day in a row. we've seen over 2,200 new cases can announced. i'm sorry, hospitalizations i should say announced in a day, so things not going the way you would like. however, the mayor here, eric garcetti, saying we're not going to go into a further

cnn's stephanie elam is in los angeles for us. stephanie, los angeles county, i understand, has hit a record number of hospitalizations now for the fourth time in just a week. how likely is it that the city will once again have to shut down? >> reporter: yeah, you're right, wolf. you're talking about more than 2,300 people -- i'm sorry -- 2,200 people are in the hospital right now, and when you add into the fact that this is the sixth day in a row that we've had a number over 2,100, this is obviously not the right way we want to see these numbers going overall. also 26% of those patients are in icu beds. that's the other issue there. the county announcing nine deaths. but of course it's important to remember that we usually have a lag from the weekend, so we might see a larger number come tomorrow when it comes to that. but when you take a look at california overall, the positivity rate at about 7.4% over the last two-week period. they're seeing a trending upward movement for hospitalizations, also patients being admitted to icu b

stephanie elam is joining us with more. good morning, stephanie. >> good morning, poppy and jim. you're right. 57 of the counties are on the monitoring list because of the rise of coronavirus cases in the different counties. when you look at the central valley, the governor pointed to the fact that they are seeing a positivity rate of closer to 18% and the state is staying stable at about 7.5%. obviously that's way too high. the governor is saying he's going to send in three strike teams to three different areas of the eight counties in the central valley. this is the part of the state that grows a lot of the food that we eat across the country right now. we need to work on the numbers, bring the numbers down. this is where you have a lot of the farm workers there. you have a lot of people living in multigenerational homes. take a listen to what the governor said about the need to make changes. >> i remind you what more evidence do you need than that of how deadly this disease continues to be. how deadly this disease continues to be. for some that say otherwise, these points of d

. >> our stephanie elam joins us there this morning. are officials handling the influx at this point. >> reporter: good morning, pope and jim. yeah, we're talking about in california, overall, 327,000 cases and more than 7,000 deaths and here in los angeles county which has remained the hot spot for the entire state we're seeing the numbers continue to trend is in the wrong direction. this is the second largest number of new cases reported in a day. behind that one time that they said they had extra cases from a backlog put together in one day. that's obviously bad news there. the hospital capacity is something that we're watching here but also in other counties such as riverside county which is southeast of here, the fourth largest county in the state. they are saying if you take a look at their ic ur beds that are licensed, they are saying nearly out of capacity. in so out of 17 hospitals, they are saying they are at 100% capacity so they are busy changing over beds, regular beds into icu beds to account for this saying this was the l

cnn's stephanie elam joins us now from los angeles. so this has been going for a couple of weeks now since california attempted reopening. are the measures it took since then having an effect now in keeping this unwraps? >> reporter: we've definitely been holding steady, jim, but we're holding steady at a higher rate than what the state would like to see. the positivity rate in the state is at 7.5%. the number of new cases announced yesterday shot just high of 6,900. we've had much higher numbers than that, but things are stabilizing but not where we would like to see them. there's a part of the state, the central valley, really the major farming region of this state where they are seeing positive rates at about 18%. they are saying the transmission rate there are so high that the governor announcing yesterday that there are going to be three strike teams that go into three regions in eight counties there to help drive down the numbers there. these strike teams will basically bring in emergency services from the state. they will bring

stephanie elam joins us. steph, it's a really big decision from the governor on schools today. >> reporter: right. we're going to hear from the governor later today, and here's what the issue is. how do you open up schools when the numbers look like they do, and this record number in los angeles county of just shy of 4,600 cases, new cases, that were reported yesterday. take a look at that number and it's also interesting to note, and i've heard this from hospitals i've spoken to here as well, that there is a rise in the number of people between the ages of 18 and 40 who are now being hospitalized with covid-19. this is a change. before we were seeing that it was older -- the older demographic. it is changing here and this is a concern here. also, when you take a look at the fact that they are saying that this 4,600 could become 18,000 cases in just a matter of weeks, this is why you're seeing this concern about this, and the fact that more than half of the deaths in california are here in los angeles county

let's go first to cnn estephanie elam in los angeles. officials there scrambling for enough ppe for health care workers and it's really southern california around l.a. where this is concentrated now. i mean, alarming to hear we're back in that situation where health care workers can't get protected. >> >> right, and we're hearing from the governor as well, jim and poppy, that they are massing more ppe, making sure that they have the masks that these health workers are going to need to keep them safe so that they can keep working, this as the state has announced more than 12,800 cases all in one day. that's a new record here for california. the positivity rate at 7.4% over 14 days so down slightly been still very close to that 8% threshold that they are trying to avoid here in california. overall though, you're right. los angeles county is the heart of this outbreak here in the state, and the numbers here 64 deaths were reported yesterday, that's the third highest number that we've seen here. the hospitalizations, it's the fourth day in a

new york with the most confirmed cases and he has twice the population of new york as our stephanie elam pointed out to put this in perspective. still, it shows how close to the brink the mayor there used for los angeles as they're having to reverse course here. >> it's true, poppy. >> no one wants to see where they go where they go. in california we're approaching 8,000. new york state getting to 32,000. so you can see the numbers are very different, but we also know that new york got hit harder in the spring. that also bought time. if california went into a stay at home order for the state to prepare bulking up on ppe, making sure they had surge capacity for hospital beds available and at the ready for hospitals if they needed it. all of that has happened and that's making a big difference here, but the state still looking at some 11,000 cases and you also see a positivity rate at 7.5% over the last 14 days. it is trending higher and the state wanting to keep that number below 8% so we are getting close and we have a record number of hospitalizations at around 8600 and that new number

. >> let's get straight to stephanie elam who joins us again this hour in los angeles. talk about what seemed to be at least from this vantage point, stephanie, really sweeping changes across the state. >> reporter: yeah, for sure, poppy. we're rolling back to looking a bit like march. this is the first state to go into a stay-at-home order, and all along governor gavin newsom has said we can always toggle back if we need to, and that's exactly what is happening now. taking a look statewide, statewide he's saying all counties now are going to have to make some changes, and that would include the restaurants, family entertainment, any indoor dining, all of that has to go down to zero. wineries, tasting rooms all of that shut down, but then for the 30 counties that have been on this county monitoring list, he's saying that there needs to be a step further on what happens there. so he's saying fitness centers, houses of worship also need to be closed down now, and that has happened. that was immediate as of yesterday. personal care services, hair salons, barber shops, all

let's get back to our stephanie elam. she joins me in l.a. with more.complete shutdown, stay-at-home order again. what's driving the spike? >> reporter: yeah. that could totally happen here in los angeles county, and the governor wants to make sure that people understand that this is real across the state as well as the mayor here. he said we know that there were over 2,200 hospitalizations announced in one day. over the last week or so we've had five days with more than 2,100 new hospitalizations announced. obviously things are going in the wrong direction here, and everyone wants to know what is going wrong. so many people thought it was going right here in california. mayor eric garcetti from los angeles was on cnn "state of the union." take a listen to what he says is behind this. >> did we've seen no national leadership. we've had to stand up testing centers on our own. we've had to do so much that is outside of our lane because of the lack of national leadership, but also i think that there are people who are just exhausted. they were sold a bill

stephanie elam, reporting hospitalizations among the problems. >> reporter: that's right. in one day of new hospitalizations. in fact, five days in a row los angeles has seen more than 2,100 new cases. this is why this is a concern to the mayor here who says that we are on the brink of going back into a stay-at-home order. listen to what else he had to say on "state of the union." >> i think we are on the brink of that but as i told people over the last week, the discipline, mayors have no control over what opens or doesn't. i do agree that those things happen too quickly. >> reporter: now the other thing to keep in mind here in los angeles county, john, is that we are seeing that of these new cases that were announced here that 53% of them people under 41. this is spreading into a different part of the population here when you consider the fact that more than half of the deaths in california are here in los angeles county. obviously this is concerning. as far as the state is concerned, the positivity rate and the hospitalizations over the last 14-day period both trending

cnn's stephanie elam is live in l.a. with the latest. what's the scene on the ground there, stephanie? >> good morning, alisyn. when you take a look at the positivity rate in the entire state of california, it is at about 7.5%. and it has been ticking higher. and it looks like it's going to continue to move higher. writ stands right now over this 14-day period. the state wanting to keep that number below 8%. but when you look at the number of cases here, the health secretary for the state saying that there is such an infusion of the infection going around, that it's being very difficult for them to contact trace and reach out to all of the people who may have been in contact with somebody, who has tested positive. when you look at that number and the fact that we are at this point where hospitalizations are at a record number, above 8,600 hospitalizations in the state right now, icu patients, those numbers continue to tick up incrementally. and also, 28 out of the last 30 days, we've seen an increase in that number of hospitalizations in
