California’s rate of positive tests for COVID-19 climbed to more than 8% over the weekend — one of the state’s own metrics for determining whether transmission of the virus is rising — before falling back to 7.7% with Monday’s results.

Another 9,399 Californians tested positive for the virus Monday, a steep drop off from the previous Monday, which included up to three days worth of results from the Independence Day weekend. That resulted in the seven-day average falling to 8,693 cases per day around the state, down from 9,727 the previous day, which included the inflated data from the previous weekend. That number, however, is still 23% higher than a week ago.
