California is expected to cross the 10,000-case threshold Thursday when the first counties update their coronavirus totals.

As of 5 p.m. Wednesday, there were 9,828 confirmed cases in the state and more than 200 dead, according to data compiled by this news organization. That is an increase of more than 1,500 cases from the day before, or about 18%, a sharp rise in what had been a somewhat flattening curve.
