See how the coronavirus pandemic has unfolded in Fresno County since March

The coronavirus pandemic has brought many twists and turns to Fresno County since the first local case was reported on March 6. From the continuing march of cases and deaths, along with business closures – and reopenings and reclosures – COVID-19 has wrought havoc on everyday life for many of the county’s residents.

A new regional stay-at-home order aimed at curbing the spread of COVID-19 across the 12-county San Joaquin Valley region was triggered on Saturday, to take effect Sunday night, marking the latest turn faced by businesses and residents in Fresno County. Also on Saturday, Fresno County surpassed 40,000 confirmed coronavirus cases since early March.
