Some info from sfgate that yes, indeed, ca is finally testing more. The total # of people ever tested in CA increased 2.5X Wednesday, and now many more labs are online.

“As of Wednesday afternoon, the U.S. had tested 433,545 people for the coronavirus, according to the unofficial COVID Tracking Project, which aggregates available state data. That’s up from only 103,000 people tested six days ago, when much of the country was already sheltering in place.
However, nearly one-quarter of those tests were conducted in one state: New York. By contrast California, with double New York’s population, had reported tested only 27,000 people until Wednesday, when Gov. Gavin Newsom announced 66,800 total had been tested. It was unclear how many of those new tests were still pending.
California largely attributed the spike in testing to "commercial, provider and academic labs that have increased testing capacity and are now reporting that data to the state." The most recent numbers included 2,535 positive cases and 53 deaths.”
