The pace of new cases and COVID-19 deaths in California slowed down on Friday, but the 80 fatalities from the virus reported brought the total death toll in the state to 1,050.

The 80 deaths are down from the 92 reported in the state on Thursday and significantly less than the daily high of 103 deaths on Wednesday. Eleven of those 80 deaths were in Santa Clara, San Francisco, Contra Costa and Alameda counties, which combined have 5.7 million residents or about 14 percent of California’s population.
