National Geographic has launched new maps online that can help you keep track of COVID-19 cases not just across California, but right down to each county in the state.

You can hover over any county in the U.S. and find out how many new cases there have been in the past week and if it's up or down from the previous week.

The darker the color is, the more cases there are.

You can also check death rates state by state and county by county.

As you scroll through the maps, note you can also take a look at trends over the past seven days.

For example, California, as of this writing, has 68,051 cases. The state is reporting 12,979 new cases in the past week, up from 11,381 cases from the previous week.

Keep in mind, these numbers will obviously change on a week-to-week basis.
