Santa Clara County, a hotspot of the coronavirus outbreak in the Bay Area, could see between 2,500 and 12,000 positive COVID-19 cases by May 1, health officer Dr. Sara Cody said Tuesday morning while revealing new projection models.

In an update to county supervisors, Cody said sheltering in place, social distancing, and other measures in effect around the region are working to slow the spread of COVID-19 in the county. It’s unclear how long such measures will need to stay in place and will depend on several factors, including a major increase in testing.
