Number Of Coronavirus Cases On Central And South Coasts Hits 60

The number of coronavirus cases on the Central and South Coasts continues to grow, hitting 60.

As of Saturday, Ventura County has 26 cases, Santa Barbara County 13, and San Luis Obispo County now has 21 cases.  That's up 16 from Friday.  But fortunately, there have been no deaths.

Health officials have been saying they do expect the numbers to continue to grow in the region until the effects of social distancing kick in, and reduce the spread of the virus.
