From YouTube: Governor Newsom's COVID-19 Update - May 12, 2020
Description
As a result of California scaling up its COVID-19 testing capacity in recent weeks, Governor Gavin Newsom today announced that more than 1 million diagnostic tests for the virus have been conducted statewide. Just over a month ago, the Governor set an ambitious goal to increase testing to 25, 000 tests a day by the end of April - and daily testing has averaged more that 35,000 in the past few days.
Governor Newsom also announced today that the California Department of Consumer Affairs and State Board of Pharmacy will allow pharmacists to collect specimens for COVID-19 tests and order tests for consumers. The specimens for processed at public health, university or commercial labs.
The state has also created a new "Medi-Nurse" line available for Medi-Cal patients without a health plan (fee for service) and uninsured Californians, The line - 1-877-409-9052 - is available 24/7 for COVID-19 concerns or for general medical issues. Those who have health insurance may visit covid19.ca.gov and use the telehealth zip code finder to access their health insurance plan's telehealth and nurse help lines.
Increasing testing is one of the six critical indicators guiding California's Resilience Roadmap. California's six indicators for modifying the stay-at-home order are:
- The ability to monitor and protect our communities through testing, contact tracing, isolating, and supporting those who are positive or exposed;
- The ability to prevent infection in people who are at risk for more severe COVID-19 19;
- The ability of the hospital and health systems to handle surges;
- The ability to develop therapeutics to meet the demand;
- The ability for businesses, schools, and child care facilities to support physical distancing; and
- The ability to determine when to reinstitute certain measures, such as the stay-at-home orders, if necessary.

C
Good
afternoon
everybody
one
of
the
principles
that
is
foundational
in
terms
of
our
roadmap
to
recovery,
in
order
for
us
to
make
the
meaningful
modifications
that
we
look
forward
to
making
to
our
stay
at
home
order
again
is
our
ability
to
test
I,
say
again,
because
we
talk
about
testing
on
a
consistent
basis
and
consistently.
We
have
been
underperforming
as
a
nation
and
as
a
state
to
provide
adequate
testing
for
all
that,
seek
it
and
all
that
needed
the
state
of
California.
We
recognize
that
early
on
that
we
needed
to
do
more
and
do
better.
C
C
We
put
together
some
very
specific
and
prescriptive
guidelines
and
expectations
put
out
our
stated
goals
in
terms
of
what
we
wanted
to
do
to
achieve
substantially
more
testing
throughout
the
state
of
California
and
I
wanted
today,
to
give
you
a
report
card
on
that,
we
have
now
surpassed
1
million
tests
conducted
in
the
state
of
California,
1
million
and
33,000.
Just
in
the
last
24
hours
we
rolled
to
conduct
over
41,000
tests
not
dissimilar.
C
The
last
few
days,
testing
north
of
40,000
people
each
and
every
day
you
just
look
back
over
the
last
seven
days
averaged
north
of
35,000
tests
on
our
way
to
do
justice
to
our
commitment,
and
that
is
to
get
to
152
tests
for
a
hundred
thousand
population
which
is
tests
north
of
sixty
sixty
one
thousand
each
and
every
day
we're
confident
we
can
achieve
that
goal.
It
is
phase
one
goal.
C
We
want
to
do
even
more
do
better
than
that,
but
in
an
effort
to
keep
you
abreast,
you
may
recall
that
our
goal
was
to
hit
25,000
by
the
end
of
the
month.
We're
now,
in
this
first
week,
doing
25,000
plus
10,000,
meaning
35,000
on
a
daily
basis
on
average,
so
making
progress.
The
second
a
commitment
we
made
to
you
is
that's
nice,
but
what
about
me
and
what
I
mean
by
that
is
what
about
you
living
in
a
rural
rural
part
of
California?
What
about
someone?
C
That's
seeking
the
test
that
doesn't
want
to
be
charged.
They
can't
afford
to
be
tested
and
can't
find
a
testing
location
in
their
community.
We
made
a
subsequent
commitment
that
it's
not
just
the
total
number
of
tests,
it's
where
those
tests
are
approximate
to
people
and
urban
centers
within
30
minutes,
30
miles
or
within
60
miles
in
rural
communities.
We
made
a
commitment.
C
Partnership
with
Optim
serve
to
focus
80
sites
in
rural
California
and
with
verily
to
provide
six
sites
that
would
be
provided
in
a
more
culturally
competent
way,
focusing
on
the
needs
of
the
black
and
brown
community
in
the
state
of
California.
We've
made
great
progress
in
that
respect.
76
of
those
80
Optim
sites
are
fully
operational.
The
only
concern
of
the
remaining
four
has
been
some
site
negotiation
that
is
extended
a
little
bit
longer,
but
substantial
development
in
terms
of
those
76
sites.
C
We
have
241
community
sites
that
we
are
tracking
that
are
available
for
testing,
plus
the
verily
sites,
plus
those
optimum
serv
sites.
You'll
see
they're
still,
testing
deserts
in
this
state,
and
that's
again
the
announcement
will
make
you
today
to
do
even
more
with
Optim,
sir
and
then
we'll
start
these
roaming
testing
sites
very
very
shortly
to
provide
even
more
coverage.
I
also
want
to
remind
people.
It
was
a
outstanding
question
that
was
asked
yesterday,
a
simple
question:
what
about
costs?
Just
so
you
know
the
site
that
we
are
providing
the
Cova
19
site.
C
Those
test
sites
are
free,
regardless
of
your
status.
Community
clinics
are
providing
testing
for
free.
These
other
community
sites
are
providing
testing
for
free,
optim
serve
and
verily.
There
are
pop-up
sites
all
throughout
the
state
of
California.
Some
of
them
may
charge
your
insurance
may
charge
you
out
of
pocket
before
you're
charged
out
of
pocket.
C
I
would
just
encourage
you
or
tell
a
friend
encourage
them
to
go
to
the
Cova
19
site
to
take
a
look
at
the
availability
of
the
sites
that
we
have
up,
so
you
can
avoid
coming
out
of
pocket
and
we're
trying
to
do
our
best
to
soften
that
edge
and
make
sure
people
know
that
cost
shouldn't
be
an
impediment
to
getting
these
tests.
But
look
a
long
way
of
saying
million
is
an
important
milestone
in
our
efforts.
It's
still
not
where
we
need
to
go.
C
We
need
to
get
again
a
north
of
sixty
to
eighty
thousand
tests
every
day.
Some
would
argue
well
north
of
that
and
I'm
not
going
to
even
debate
that
we're
going
to
go
as
far
as
we
possibly
can
I
mention
just
a
few
weeks
ago
that
if
all
of
our
system,
our
testing
capacity
was
at
a
hundred
percent
testing
capacity,
we
can
be
just
shy
of
about
a
hundred
thousand
tests
a
day
right
now.
C
C
These
are
the
PCR
tests,
primarily
that
we're
speaking
to
that
we
are
confident
will
provide
the
kind
of
quality
and
assurance
in
terms
of
reliability
that
is
well
FDA,
approved
and,
to
the
extent
we
can
monitor
the
efficacy
we
do
is
as
efficient
as
effective
as
we
think
is
out
there.
Many
other
tests,
though,
are
popping
up
that.
Don't
necessarily
have
that
gold
seal
and
so
always
points
of
caution
at
these
point
of
care,
pop-ups
that
you
may
run
into
go
to
our
site.
First,
we
encourage
that
again.
C
Now
let
me
make
this
crystal
clear.
They
now
have
pharmacies
the
ability
to
do
tests
that
doesn't
mean
every
one
of
them
is
going
to
start
testing
today
or
even
determine
that
it's
in
their
interest
to
test
at
all.
It's
a
determination
on
the
basis
of
each
of
these
pharmacies,
whether
or
not
they
want
to
do
this
now
know
that
pharmacists.
Many
of
you
do
know
this
test
for
hepatitis
C.
C
In
many
cases
for
HIV
there
are
protocols
and
procedures
appropriate
protective
gear,
making
sure
that
we
isolate
folks
that
may
be
symptomatic
may
be
asymptomatic,
but
are
concerned.
We
obviously
have
to
work
through
all
those
they'll
be
done
on
each
site
and
will
be
done
in
collaboration
and
the
oversight
and
guidelines
that
these
two
agencies
have
put
forward.
But
the
good
news
is,
we
are
now
going
to
increase
additional
sites
with
our
pharmacies
in
the
state
of
California
and
we
hope
to
start
seeing
those
pop
up
very
very
soon.
C
So
that's
also,
we
think,
an
important
milestone
in
an
effort
to
broaden
coverage
for
testing
in
the
state
of
California.
All
of
this
again
can't
come
soon
enough,
because
all
of
this
is
part,
as
I
suggested
a
moment
ago,
part
of
our
roadmap
to
reopening
part
of
the
six
indicators
that
we
have
been
reinforcing
over
and
over
again
now
for
many
many
weeks,
the
capacity
to
test
leads
to
the
capacity
to
trace
and
I
just
want
to
update
you
on
that,
we
believe
by
tomorrow
or
the
next
day.
C
Certainly,
by
the
end
of
this
week,
the
first
cohort
of
those
that
we're
training
through
UCSF
and
UCLA,
and
the
new
virtual
protocols
for
contract
our
contact
tracing
in
state
of
California
that
first
cohort
will
be
trained
and
we're
starting
to
recruit
the
next
cohort.
Again,
this
is
foundational
testing
and
then
the
ability
to
treat
to
trace
you
got
to
have
a
tracing
workforce
to
do
that.
That
then
begins
the
protocols
of
isolating
and,
to
the
extent
necessary
quarantine,
individuals
that
have
tested
positive
or
have
potentially
been
exposed,
so
progress
in
that
space
as
well.
C
All
of
these
dots
all
of
these
indicators
connected
to
one
another
and
again
moving
in
the
direction
that
we
were
hoping
at
this
stage
again.
This
stage
is
that
second
stage,
and
in
that
second
stage
we
are
making
meaningful
modifications
to
the
original
stay
at
home
order.
I
mentioned
yesterday,
I'll
reinforce
today
over.
Seventy
percent
of
our
economy
in
the
state
of
California
is
open
with
modifications
and
I'm
sober
with
modifications.
Today,
we're
announcing
additional
modifications
statewide
for
our
stay
at
home
order
that
include
offices.
C
If
you
cannot
telework,
we
will
allow
for
office
modification
and
office
openings
on
a
statewide
basis.
We
are
also
on
a
statewide
basis,
making
it
clear
that
malls
and
those
that
otherwise
are
not
just
traditional,
enclosed
malls,
but
strip
malls
and
those
outlet
malls
can
be
opened
for
pickup
and
I
want
to
distinguish
again
for
pickup,
so
not
dissimilar
to
the
announcement
we
made
last
week
for
retail.
C
This
also
would
include
malls,
but
again
only
for
pickups,
so
offices
and
malls
for
pickup,
in
addition
to
other
services
like
car,
washes
pet
grooming
making
some
clarifications,
though,
there's
been
some
of
this
happening
already
on
dog
walking.
All
of
these
areas
also
are
being
modified,
statewide
and
I.
Mind
everybody.
What
I
mean
by
statewide
is
the
following
and
forgive
us
we
I
know
how
confusing
all
of
this
can
be
again.
It's
dynamic.
C
The
statewide
order,
affords
the
opportunity
for
local
government
to
in
to
conform
with
those
guidelines,
but
one
can
choose
region
like
the
Bay
Area,
and
the
six
counties
can
choose
to
be
a
little
bit
more
prescriptive
and
restrictive
parts
of
Southern,
California
la
and
others
the
same.
So
not
everyone
is
compelled
into
this
phase,
but
that
phase
is
afforded
everybody,
and
so
those
that
are
also
trying
to
get
variances
on
the
other
side
of
this
to
loosen
up
and
move
deeper
into
Phase.
C
Two
more
quickly
should
know
that
the
statewide
order
applies
to
them,
even
if
they're,
in
the
process
of
applying
to
get
the
technical
support
to
do
a
self
certification
for
a
regional
variants.
So
we
are
updating
those
guidelines.
They're
available
as
I
speak
on
our
Kovan
19
ca.gov
website.
You
could
go
to
that.
C
You
can
see
what
additional
modifications
we're
making
statewide
to
the
stay
at
home
order,
but
progress
in
this
space
that
I
hope
is
encouraging
to
many,
but
that
progress
again
is
predicated
on
our
testing
on
our
tracing
capacity
and
on
the
basis
of
the
numbers
that
I
will
update
you
in
a
moment
on
hospitalizations
I,
see
use
and
the
like
that
we
continue
to
track
and
continue
to
show
encouraging
signs
in
this
stability.
That
is
the
predicate
for
allowing
us
to
move
in
this
direction.
Data
Public,
Health,
science-based
decision-making
accordingly.
C
Today,
as
I
was
clear
we
would
introduce
today.
We
are
now
making
public
the
guidelines
for
number
of
other
industries
in
this
state,
including
the
restaurant
industry
and
guidelines
for
reopening
in
in-room,
dining,
so
to
speak
or
dine
in
restaurants.
Remember
restaurants
are
many
of
them
open
for
take-out,
but
this
would
allow
patrons
to
start
coming
back
in
these
counties
that
have
conditions
that
afford
this.
C
We
made
there
clear
last
week
the
conditions
were
looking
for
to
go
deeper
into
Phase
two,
and
we
made
it
clear
that
today
we
would
put
out
those
guidelines
we
have
also
put
that
up
and
that
cove
in
nineteen
dot,
CA
gov
website
so
you'll
see
skylines,
statewide,
updated
and
you'll
see
guidelines
county
by
county
that
we
are
putting
out
today
for
a
number
of
different
industries.
By
the
way
those
industries
include,
but
are
not
limited
to
well
outdoor
museums,
Botanical
Gardens
and
by
the
way,
that's
also
available
in
terms
of
a
statewide
order.
C
But
we
put
out
prescriptive
guidelines
in
terms
of
what
we
look
for
in
the
reopening
of
outdoor
museums.
We
provide
similarly
guidelines
for
car
washes
and
for
restaurants,
and
we
today
can
announce
that,
based
upon
consultation,
technical
consultation
and
the
self
certification
and
attestation
that
was
done
in
concurrence
with
health
director,
their
County
administrators,
including
county
boards
of
Supervisors,
focusing
on
the
needs
of
the
most
vulnerable
potential
surge
and
self
attesting
that
they
have
a
plan
to
begin
to
modify
these
loosening
Ziff,
we
start
to
see
a
spread
of
kovat
19.
C
That
butte
now
is
on
our
website
as
the
first
county.
That
now
is
able
to
move
deeper
into
that
phase
two
through
their
self
certification
process,
through
their
planning
work
that
they've
done
so
Buchan,
T
and
El
Dorado
County
have
met
those
thresholds
and
work
incredibly
collaboratively
with
our
department
teams
and
health
officials.
I
should
note
that
we
have
been
in
contact
with
27
counties
in
total
for
we're
having
deep
technical
assistance
calls
today,
and
those
are
dynamic.
C
Conversations
I
have
confidence
that,
just
this
afternoon,
the
we'll
be
two
additional
counties
that
should
self
attest
they're
working
through
more
formal
votes
at
their
local
in
their
local
counties
and
their
local
jurisdictions,
to
codify
their
recommendations
and
based
on
the
interaction
with
us,
we'll
put
those
up
on
our
website
as
well.
So
progress
in
this
place,
but
sober
Lee,
we
make
the
point
I,
don't
anticipate
every
one
of
the
27
counties
that
we've
engaged
with
already
the
four
that
we
will
be
engaging
with
this
afternoon.
C
All
will
be
able
to
self
a
test
and
I
know
that
this
is
a
point
of
concern
and
consternation.
It
was
brought
up
just
yesterday
with
the
wonderful
outreach
and
the
spirited
cooperation
we
received
from
Kern
County
that
described
in
their
County
certain
conditions
that
they
would
like
our
health
directors
to
consider
to
allow
a
modification
of
sorts
based
upon
data
based
on
science,
based
upon
their
unique
circumstances
where
we
can
apply
some
flexibility.
C
I
said
this
ten
days
ago,
when
we
rolled
this
out,
originally
we're
not
ideologues
our
team
and
it's
not
just
our
team.
It's
the
collective
wisdom
of
all
so
health
directors
across
the
state
of
California.
We
are
in
the
spirit
of
collaboration
and
partnership,
want
to
address
those
issues
and
and
we'll
be
doing
sort
of
the
extent
possible
again
possible
on
the
basis
again
of
public
health
being
a
foundational
guideline
in
principle.
C
But
there
are
some
unique
characteristics
within
counties
where
they're
hitting
on
all
cylinders
and
where
they
hit
13
out
of
the
14
guidelines
to
get
a
new
variance
and
they
have
a
unique
circumstance
with
a
federal
prison
for
example,
or
a
state
prison.
They
don't
manage
or
a
skilled
nursing
facility
that
had
some
challenges,
but
they
feel
like
they
have
under
control.
Those
things
are
all
part
of
the
dynamic
engagement
and
conversations
that
we
look
forward
to
having
I
know,
there's
an
eagerness
to
resume
those
conversations
that
we
had
over
the
weekend
and
conclude
them.
C
We
will
do
everything
in
our
power
as
quickly
as
possible
to
adjudicate
all
of
these
nuances
and
details
and
be
as
fair
mine
as
we
possibly
can.
I
just
want
to
make
that
clear
to
everybody
watching.
Also,
members
of
the
press
that
we
are
committed
to
this
dynamic
process
also
implied
yesterday
and
I
hope
you're,
seeing
it
here
today.
C
The
fluidity
of
these
announcements
that
they're
not
static
as
conditions
present
themselves
as
indicators
turn
from
yellow
to
green,
we'll,
be
updating
our
site
on
a
fairly
consistent
basis,
and
we
will
be
directing
that
through
the
Department
of
Public
Health,
primarily
not
even
just
traditionally
through
these
press
conferences.
So
I
want
folks
to
know
we'll
be
making
adjustments
and
modifications
on
a
consistent
basis,
statewide
and
also
providing
updates
on
these
regional
variances.
Whole
idea
is
to
get
us
all
through
this
phase
two,
so
we
can
start
to
move
into
Phase
three.
C
C
It's
an
and
for
us
not
an
or
and
I
deeply
recognize
help
is
defined
not
only
by
taming
the
Beast
that
is
corona
virus
or
C
19,
as
it's
now
often
being
referred
to,
but
also
addressing
social
determinants
of
health
and
the
impact
of
poverty,
as
it
relates
to
the
health
of
families
and
communities
all
across
this
state,
physical,
as
well
as
mental
health.
All
of
these
are
factors
we
don't
see
them
as
competing
factors
as
much
as
we
see
them
as
collaborating
in
a
collaborative
frame.
C
In
the
context
of
a
broader
health
frame,
again
guided
by
Health
and
guided
by
data,
we
will
continue
to
march
down
this
path
more
meaningful
for
Auto,
vacations
and
again
in
in
real
time
and
so
again
keep
taking
a
look
at
at
that
Kovan
19
website.
It's
a
dynamic
website
updated
on
a
consistent
basis
and
in
that
respect,
I
also
want
to
make
something
also
I'll
make
something
available,
and
also
just
make
you
aware
of.
C
What's
been
on
our
site,
you
can
look
at
the
test
stations,
which
is
just
a
self-certification
of
the
containment
plans
and
the
protection
plans
that,
for
example,
Butte
County
is
putting
up.
You
can
take
a
look
at
that
on
the
map
county
by
county,
but
you
also
have
the
ability
on
our
site
to
look
at
the
total
number
of
positive
cases
that
have
been
identified
in
Butte.
The
number
of
people,
hospitalized
number
of
people
and
I
see
use
by
county
throughout
the
state
of
California
and
encourage
people
to
take
a
look
at
that.
It's.
C
This
is
about
self
certification
and
we'll
all
collectively
be
monitoring
people's
a
success
in
this
space,
and
we
believe
success
is
an
imperative,
but
also
success
leaves
clues.
Success
can
also
provide
capacity
and
guidelines
for
subsequent
efforts
and
other
counties.
Each
one
of
these
self
certifications
and
out
test
stations
becomes
its
own
best
practice
and
I
hope
informs
others
in
that
process,
but
we
must
always
be
informed
by
data
and
on
the
Cova,
19
dot
see
a
gov
website.
C
You
could
go
county
by
county
and
on
a
daily
basis,
get
updated
on
how
well
your
county
is
doing
and
whether
or
not
they're
reaching
those
prescribed
goals
in
their
self
certification.
So
what
folks
to
be
aware
of
that
as
well,
and
so
we'll
keep
adding
all
that
information
to
that
database
that
dashboard
and
continue
to
monitor
the
success.
We
believe
in
hope
of
these
counties
that
are
moving
more
quickly
into
Phase
two.
So
that's
broad
strokes.
C
What
I
wanted
to
communicate
and
share
today
good
news
on
testing
progress,
not
where
we
need
to
go,
but
progress
nonetheless,
more
places
to
go
in
rural
California,
as
well
as
now
with
pharmacies
throughout
the
state
of
California,
more
opportunity
now
to
reopen,
based
upon
the
ability
to
get
more
support
for
tracing
isolation
and
Quarantine
and
continue
to
develop
the
kind
of
dynamic
partnership.
Two-Way
conversation
with
our
team,
our
staff,
your
team,
your
staff
or
taxpayers.
C
All
of
us
folks
that
are
trying
to
do
their
best
to
help
you
and
help
your
community
to
move
quickly
into
this
phase
too,
but
do
so
safely
so
that
we
can
protect
everybody.
And
in
that
spirit,
before
I,
just
quickly
update
you
on
a
few
of
the
daily
numbers,
I
want
to
protect
our
most
vulnerable
and
that's
why
I
also
want
to
make
an
announcement
and
update
that.
C
Just
five
weeks
ago
we
announced
a
very
audacious
goal
and
first-in-the-nation
goal
I,
don't
think
there's
any
part
of
the
country
and
this
isn't
to
demean
or
diminish
the
incredible
work
that
other
governors
are
doing,
but
I'm
just
proud
of
California's
work.
We
talked
about
a
project
or
announced
a
project
called
project
room
key
to
help
vulnerable
Californians
out
on
the
streets
and
sidewalks
and
congregate,
shelters
out
in
encampments,
under
freeway
overpasses,
our
homeless.
Our
brothers
and
sisters
struggling
many
very
vulnerable
to
not
only
the
elements
but
to
this
disease
and
other
diseases.
C
We
today
passed
the
threshold
over
15,000
rooms,
now
procured
as
project
room
key
just
in
five
weeks:
seven
plus
thousand
people
at
the
county
level
that
they've
been
able
in
the
city
level
to
bring
into
those
rooms
hundreds
more
every
single
day,
we're
working
with
the
cities
and
counties
there's
still
challenges
at
the
local
level.
That's
the
nature
of
any
application.
Implementation
but
at
least
providing
that
framework,
which
was
our
commitment
as
a
state
and
a
technical
assistance
for
the
locals.
C
We
are
there,
thirteen
hundred
and
five
trailers
we
got
all
those
out
as
well,
and
there's
families,
not
just
individuals
in
those
trailers,
in
addition
to
those
fifteen
thousand
rooms,
I
just
want
to
thank
our
team,
all
the
good
hard
work,
that's
been
done,
Jason,
Elliott
and
others
to
work
overtime,
to
try
to
get
these
rooms
up
and
ready
and
now
work
very
closely
with
cities
and
counties
to
make
sure
that
we're
populating
the
remainder
of
those
rooms.
We
also
want
to
remind
people
other
vulnerable
population.
C
Our
seniors,
we
talk
almost
on
a
daily
basis
about
skilled
nursing
facilities.
Yesterday
we
reminded
you
skilled
nursing
facilities
are
relatively
small
in
terms
of
the
total
number
of
facilities
that
we
license
for
our
seniors
and
for
adults
we
have
seven
thousand
four
hundred
forty
two
just
through
our
Department
of
Social
Services,
that
we
license
and
monitor
our
seniors
remain
still
the
most
vulnerable
to
this
virus.
C
The
mortality
morbidity
rates
in
that
cohort
are
obvious
to
all
of
us
at
this
stage
of
this
pandemic,
and
so
I
just
want
to
encourage
our
seniors
and
those
that
care
deeply
about
our
seniors
and
those
that
helped
build
the
middle
class
and
build
this
remarkable
place.
We
call
home
California
in
the
great
country
this
nation,
the
United
States.
C
You've
been
incredible
public's,
been
incredible.
We're
at
this
point,
because
40
million
people
at
practice,
physical,
distancing
and
in
a
state
larger
than
any
others
again
bigger
than
21
States
populations
combined
and
you've
done
it
at
scale
and
gotten
us
to
this
point.
But
the
worst
mistake
we
can
make-
and
many
of
you
may
have
seen
dr.
Falchi
today,
testifying
the
worst
mistake
we
can
make
is
to
just
throw
those
face:
coverings
off
and
disabuse
ourselves
that
this
virus
has
gone
away
or
taking
the
summer
off
or
it's
on
a
deep
sabbatical
or
vacation.
C
It's
not
it's
still
very
linked.
It's
still
deeply
deeply
deadly,
and
if
we
love
our
community
and
we
do-
and
we
love
our
restaurants
and
we
love
our
retail
and
we
love
our
groomers
and
the
like-
let's
protect
them
and
protect
their
customers
and
protect
one
another
and
I
encourage
all
of
us
to
read
these
guidelines.
C
We're
gonna
have
checklists
up
and
businesses
to
help
with
these
efforts
and
and
I
think
these
guidelines
are
based
on
best
practices,
science
and
virulence
and
all
of
the
epidemiological
issues
that
are
so
front
and
center
in
our
daily
lives.
But
again
the
application
of
them
is
at
the
local
level.
The
monitoring
is
all
of
us
trying
to
encourage
one
another
to
do
even
more
and
do
better
and
then
you've
done
to
date,
and
so
I
just
want
to
remind
everybody
of
that.
This
disease
is
still
ubiquitous.
C
It's
still
deadly
77
people
lost
their
lives
in
last
24
hours
to
this
disease.
77
again,
this
disease
is
taking
lives
on
a
daily
basis,
lives
lost
families
destroyed
because
of
this
virus.
We
saw
an
increase
of
one
thousand
four
hundred
and
forty
three
new
positive
test
tests.
Yesterday
alone,
so
we've
seen
more
people
test,
it
still
seen
an
increase
in
the
total
number
of
people.
C
A
vaccine,
so
I
just
cannot
impress
upon
you
more
the
nature
of
the
virulence
and
the
importance
of
continuing
to
wash
our
hands
physically
distance
from
people.
You
haven't
otherwise
come
into
contact
with
make
sure
you
wear
face
coverings,
where
you
can't
practice
that
physical
distance
E
and
protect
yourself
and
protect
your
family
and
your
community
and
others.
When
you
start
going
back
in
with
these
modifications
into
restaurants
and
the
like
I,
don't
point
and
open
up
to
questions.
I
just
wanted
to
remind
everybody
what
we
do
on
a
daily
basis.
C
Total
number
of
hospitalizations
total
number
of
people
on
the
ICU
ICU
numbers
went
down
1.4
percent.
Yesterday
the
total
number
of
people
in
hospitals
went
up
slightly
1.1
percent
again
those
numbers
you
see
bouncing
back
and
forth
within
that
margin,
1
2
percent
every
single
day,
but
stability
for
weeks
and
weeks
and
weeks
well
beyond
just
14
days.
The
stability
is
encouraging,
but
again
we're
not
seeing
this
significant
decline
that
we
need
to
see
caution.
Always
number
of
people
tested,
positive
number
of
people
dying.
C
I
know
they're
lagging
indicators
that
the
death
rates,
but
nonetheless
points
of
concern
so
again,
mix
of
optimism
and
a
sober
outlook
in
terms
of
the
world
we're
now
entering
into
with
these
modifications.
Progress,
though,
nonetheless,
and
continued
spirit
of
partnership
as
a
foundational
principle,
data
driving
decisions,
science
and
health
driving
these
announcements
with
that
happy
to
take
any
questions.
D
Thanks
governor
I'm
hoping
you
can
provide
a
little
bit
of
clarity
on
the
testing
targets
last
month
after
you
mentioned
after
you
talked
about
your
25,000
daily
goal.
You
said
the
next
target
was
eighty
to
ninety
thousand
tests
per
day,
and
today,
I
heard
sixty
one
thousand,
and
eighty
thousand
so
clearly
explain
what
your
next
target
is,
and
by
what
time
lying
you
about
to
meet
that
and
then
the
subsequent
one
sleep
yeah.
C
So
Angela
I,
don't
recall
ever
say
an
eighty
to
ninety
thousand
I
was
very
specific.
Sixty
to
eighty
thousand,
the
60,000
is
actually
60,000
800.
It's
based
upon
Harvard
study
that
we
are
using
a
guide.
Some
of
our
decision
not
exclusively,
that
is
a
baseline
study,
152
tests
for
100,000
population.
We
are
assuming
it's
a
little
on
the
higher
end.
C
Roughly
forty
million
Californians
get
you
around
that
sixty
one
thousand
frame,
so
we
were
very
explicit,
two
thousand
fourteen
thousand
to
twenty
five
thousand,
and
we
said
within
a
month
or
two
later,
specifically
the
words
that
were
used
by
dr.
Ghali
myself,
guided
by
our
task
force.
We
said
sixty
and
then
we
hope
to
get
to
eighty.
The
reference
to
ninety
plus
was
full
throttle
capacity
within
our
existing
system.
C
If
everything
went
off
without
a
hitch
and
every
machine
was
working
and
every
supply
was
provided
with
abundance,
it
just
gives
you
a
sense
of
what
we're
capable
of
doing
at
that
level,
and
so
that's
the
number
that
you
may
be
referencing.
So
that's
our
next
goal.
We
currently
are
exceeding
the
25,000
again
we're
hoping
to
be
a
twenty.
C
Five
thousand
a
week
ago,
we're
now
actually
doing
even
better
than
we
projected
on
that
ramp
up
at
thirty
five
thousand
today,
we
also
laid
out
again
a
framework
to
provide
even
more
points
of
access
and
testing
at
pharmacies
and
there's
a
universe
of
over
sixty
four
hundred
your
size.
Sixty
five
hundred
in
that
capacity,
then
again,
not
all
of
them
by
any
stretch
are
going
to
start
testing
and
they
can't
all
do
it
overnight
for
various
reasons,
but
we
are
also
creating
more
points
of
access.
Optim
serve
that
has
already
been
producing
significantly
we're.
C
All
California
is
now
committed
an
additional
six
sites.
I
gave
you
two
specific
counties
where
those
sites
are
going
up,
some
more
testing
still,
and
we
continue
to
do
what
we
can
with
Abbott
Labs
and
others
on
the
point-of-care
assess
the
serology
tests,
these
antibody
tests
that
obviously
a
lot
of
us
are
focused
on.
We
will
be
talking
a
lot
more
about
serous
surveillance
in
that
respect.
In
other
words,
surveillance
is
not
an
easy
word
for
any
of
us,
but
we
have
PCR
surveillance
and
Cerro
Savannah.
It's
also
part
but
panoply
of
solutions.
C
We're
also
testing
with
Kaiser,
so
you
may
appreciate
this
there's
a
lot
of
pooled
tests,
pilots
that
are
being
considered
now
as
well,
something
you
know
well
blood
banks
already
do
that
all
kinds
of
interesting
things
happen
in
this
space
that
we
haven't
shared
necessarily
so
as
a
lot
of
that
happening
as
well,
but
progress
being
made
and
those
numbers
getting
to
60
to
80,
we
continue
to
believe,
are
well
within
our
grasp,
but
again
many
many
weeks
away.
The.
E
Governor
on
the
restaurant
side,
after
talking
with
owners,
there's
a
collective
concern
about
the
challenge
of
potentially
bringing
employees
back,
given
that
some
are
potentially
receiving
more
on
unemployment,
and
these
restaurants
will
likely
be
operating
at
reduced
capacity,
which
translates
to
bringing
in
less
money.
Has
there
been
any
discussion
about
responding
to
or
troubleshooting
this
challenge?
Yeah.
C
Well,
as
you
may
know,
my
background
is
in
the
restaurant
business,
not
only
starting
as
a
busboy
and
a
waiter
working
my
way
up
out
of
college
opening
a
small
business
pen
to
paper,
one
part-time,
employee,
Pat
Kelly.
We
grew
that
business
opened
a
number
of
restaurants,
point
of
pride
that
I
say
this
is
not
a
point
of
promotion.
Point
of
pride
as
our
deep
experience
in
the
industry
owning
managing
working
in
this
industry
for
decades,
and
so
the
answer
to
your
question
is
affirmative.
C
Absolutely,
yes,
one
thing
that
I
recognize
one
size
does
not
fit
all,
not
only
from
my
personal
background
and
experience,
but
through
my
deep
collaboration
over
decades
within
the
industry,
a
recognition
that
each
restaurant
is
different
and
distinct
and
as
a
consequence,
the
guidelines
we
put
out
provide
more
flexibility
than
I
believe
some
other
states.
Every
state
is
different
and
I
deeply
respect
what
other
states
have
offered
some
have
said.
Well,
it
should
be
opened
in
the
first
phase
at
just
25
percent
capacity.
Others
said
30
some
said
50.
We
decided
not
to
be
prescriptive.
C
In
that
perspective,
we
worked
with
our
health
officials
and
to
provide
flexibility
on
spacing.
What
we
want
is
physical,
distancing,
obviously,
all
the
sanitation,
all
the
PPE.
All
the
other
guidelines
is
relates
to
ingress
egress
you'll,
take
a
look,
I
hope
at
the
guidelines
we
put
out,
and
there
are
many
many
very
specific
recommendations,
guidelines
and
expectations,
but
we
also
wanted
to
provide
flexibility
because
it
goes
to
the
spirit
of
your
question.
C
Look
I
am
NOT
naive
and
no
one
should
be
and
I
think
one
of
the
biggest
mistakes
we
can
make
in
this
pandemic,
as
we
start
to
move
in
to
a
reopening
phase,
is
somehow
over
promise
what
it
means.
None
of
this
means
anything
if
customers
don't
feel
safe,
and
none
of
this
matters
the
spirit
of
your
question
in
direct
response.
C
If
employees
don't
feel
safe
and
don't
want
to
come
back
to
work,
and
so
all
of
this
is
foundational
on
a
public
health
mindset,
that's
why
I
say
I,
don't
see
the
issue
of
economic
opening
and
growth
disconnected
from
health.
They
are
directly
connected
to
your
question.
How
do
we
bring
back
a
healthy
workforce?
How,
if
that
workforce,
if
they
are
exposed
or
are
tested
positive
for
Koba
19?
How
do
we
protect
that
workforce?
C
So
they
don't
feel
like
they
have
to
go
to
work
and
are
having
symptoms,
but
are
not
being
honest
with
their
employer.
How
do
we
make
sure
that
they
have
sick
leave?
How
do
we
make
sure
that
they
can
be
supported
in
isolation
as
we
move
to
the
tracing
protocols,
and
so
that's
also
part
of
the
guidelines,
we're
putting
out
also
part
of
some
of
the
details
that
we
are
rolling
out,
but
I
think
there's
a
deep
desire
for
people
to
come
back
to
work.
C
Not
everybody
is
going
to
come
back
right
away,
you're,
not
incorrect
about
some
of
the
unemployment
issues,
but
those
are
more
temporary
and
we
are
seeing
I
think
a
deep
eagerness
in
this
space
for
people
to
reopen
and
one
of
the
things
just
in
closing,
and
forgive
me
for
extending
deeply
it's
a
point
of
personal
privilege.
Again.
An
industry
I
I've
been
part
of
in
the
past
before
my
time
in
public
life.
That
I
also
recognize
that
within
the
industry
there
are
restaurants.
That
also
are
bars.
C
There
are
restaurants
that
are
full-service
restaurants,
that
are
much
more
limited
service.
There
are
conditions
related
to
fixed
furnishings
and
those
that
could
be
moved
around
and
so
we're
trying
to
work
through
panoply
of
issues.
Myriad
of
issues
that
all
require
some
distillation
of
thought
and
application
of
these
rules
at
the
local
level,
there's
also
outdoor
seating,
where
ventilation
becomes
less
significant
because
the
outdoor
the
outdoors
themselves
provide
for
a
greater
distribution
of
of
air
flow,
and
so
all
of
these
things
are
being
considered
and
there's
some
outdoor
seating
limitations.
C
C
We
have
to
work
through
all
of
these
things
and
we'll
continue
to
work
with
the
industry,
because
one
thing
I
know
the
guidelines
we
put
out
today
are
not
static,
that
we
recognize
that
we're
going
to
hear
from
folks
saying
well
what
about
this
circumstance
that
you
never
considered
and
we
by
definition,
want
to
be
considerate
of
those
and
we'll
try
to
augment
and
update.
If
it's
public
health
first
focus,
we
would
obviously
make
an
adjustment
if
it
doesn't
impact
in
that
space.
F
C
As
you
know,
we've
laid
out
I
think
we're
17
sectors
last
week
and
I
would
encourage
you
to
go
to
the
kovat
19
dot
ca.gov
website.
You
can
look
through
the
17
sectors.
Today
we
announced
four
additional
sectors
that
are
reopening
that
represent
broadly
north
of
70%
of
the
economy,
from
manufacturing
logistics,
warehousing
the
essential
workforce
that
was
always
open,
as
relates
to
the
food
supply
chain
and
so
relates
to
hospitality.
That's
been
open
with
limitations.
C
As
you
know,
tens
of
thousands
of
hotel
rooms
have
been
afforded
our
care
workers
our
first
responders
as
part
of
a
subsidy
of
support.
The
project
room
key
I,
just
mentioned
means
these
hotels
are
open
with
modification.
So
you
go
industry
by
industry
sectors
that
never
closed
construction
and
the
like
in
each
one
of
those
categories.
You
add
them
all
up,
you're
now,
north
of
70%
and
happy.
If
you
are
not
satisfied
of
what
you
see
on
the
Cova
19
gov
website,
to
quantify
that
even
further
but
we've
I.
Think
last
week
dr.
G
Thank
You
Verner
I
have
a
question
about
testing
and
nursing
homes.
As
you
mentioned,
seniors
remain.
The
most
vulnerable
and
nursing
home
stated
can't
get
the
tests
and
rapid
results
that
they
need
to
prevent,
prevent
outbreaks.
The
state
works
to
expand
testing
for
the
general
population.
Why
haven't
you
mandated
universal
testing
and
nursing
homes
like
other
states?
Have?
Are
there
any
plans
to
do
so?
There.
C
Are
plans
to
do
so?
We
just
need
to
be
in
an
adequate
place
to
be
able
to
deliver
on
that
promise.
Look
we've
prioritized
testing
in
our
sniffs
and
more
broadly
in
our
adult
system.
But
with
that,
let
me
it's
an
opportunity
for
a
leader
of
our
testing
task
force.
Who's
been
focused
specifically
on
skilled
nurses
there
to
fill
in
the
blanks
about
when
we
may
move
forward
with
the
mandatory
side
of
that
equation,
which
you're
correct
we're
not
there
at
this
moment.
H
Thank
You
governor
and
thank
you
for
the
question.
Indeed,
this
has
been
a
conversation
point
for
the
last
many
days
really
working
with
our
nursing
home
operators
and
advocates
across
the
state
to
understand
the
best
way
to
ensure
that
we
get
the
test
not
just
for
the
residents
but
for
the
staff
as
well.
H
What's
the
right
time
to
do
that
testing,
what
are
the
plans
and
how
to
manage
the
number
of
positive
tests
that
we
discover
how
to
adequately
support
patients
and,
of
course,
the
staff
so
I
think
in
the
week
next
week
or
two
we
will
be
announcing.
What
that
plan
is
in
terms
of
how
readily
and
quickly
were
able
to
bring
testing
to
every
facility
across
the
state.
I
think
this
is
something
that's
not
only
important
to
the
residents
and
the
staff,
but
the
families
as
well.
H
We
take
it
very
seriously
and
we
think
it's
one
of
the
most
important
proof
points
that
we're
able
to
support
those
who
are
living
in
our
skilled
nursing
facilities
across
the
state,
those
over
twelve
hundred
and
forty
facilities
and
nearly
120,000
residents.
So
I
think
we're
a
couple
weeks
away
from
having
this
all
ironed
out
and
again,
it
comes
down
to
ensuring
that
we
don't
only
have
not
only
of
the
supplies,
but
also
the
people
power
to
get
the
testing
done
in
process.
C
The
skilled
nursing
facilities
we're
trying
to
address
all
those
licensed
facilities
within
our
portfolio
of
responsibilities.
Seventy
four
hundred
plus
additional
facilities,
IHS
I
mean
that
crossed
the
panoply
of
the
vulnerable.
We
need
to
adequately
test
where
a
scale
that's
unlike
any
other
state
in
the
country
and
a
scale
of
responsibility.
That
goes
with
that
to
be
even
more
aggressive
and
that's
why
we
are
not
spiking
the
ball.
I
Hi
governor,
so
you
announced
some
further
a
statewide
loosening
of
the
order
today
and
I
was
just
wondering
you
know
from
the
data
standpoint.
You
know
what
change
that
made.
You
comfortable
loosening
more
statewide
restrictions
today
and
then,
as
far
as
the
county
variances
go,
you
mentioned
that
there
could
be.
You
know,
unique
characteristics
in
certain
counties
that
you
would
consider
when
deciding
whether
to
grant
them
a
variance,
even
if
they
don't
meet
all
the
benchmarks.
C
C
I
I'm
not
gonna,
get
in
because
we're
in
the
details
of
those
conversations,
but
I
offered
that
as
proof
point
of
the
kind
of
conversations
that
we're
currently
having
that
our
dynamic
conversations
and-
and
so
we're
committed
to
advancing
those
conversations
dr.
angel
here,
just
because
she
happens
to
be
here,
she
can
probably
fill
in
because
she's
the
one
having
these
direct
conversation
should
be
a
little
bit
more
precise
with
you,
but
know
that
these
are.
C
J
That
was
our
first
very
specific
process,
looking
at
some
exceptions
that
make
sense
for
some
counties,
but
indeed,
as
this
as
koban
19
continues
to
evolve
in
our
communities.
As
we
understand
more
about
the
movement
of
disease,
have
data
that's
more
specific
to
specific
counties
and
then
also
take
into
account
specific
conditions
like
congregate,
setting
outbreaks
that
might
make
the
difference
in
terms
of
a
County's
ability
to
be
very
strategic
around
those
congregate
settings.
J
We're
also
thinking
about
how
we
and
also
support
and
consider
how
those
counties
may
also
be
possibly
in
a
position
to
be
able
to
move
through
stage
2
in
perhaps
a
different
way.
These
are
very
active
and
intense
conversations.
They
look
very
closely
at
the
data
and
evidence
not
only
about
the
prevalence
of
disease,
but
also
about
preparedness
and
things
that
we've
mentioned
again
again,
including
PPE
testing
contact
tracing.
These
are
three
very
key
tools
that
we
have
as
people
move
more.
J
We
know
that
more
people
are
likely
to
potentially
get
infected
and
if
they
do,
we
have
to
help
support
and
make
sure
that
our
counties
are
in
a
good
position
to
be
able
to
respond
effectively
and
make
sure
that
they
get
the
care
that
they
need.
So
we
are
watching
this
very
carefully
we're
having
intense
conversations
with
counties
and
as
we
move
forward,
we'll
be
sharing
with
you
more
approaches
that
will
make
sense
for
our
state
at
large
so
that
we
can
move
forward
in
a
way
that
helps
minimize
risk
for
all
Californians.
In.
C
Many
respects
Shantz.
The
first
part
of
your
question.
Look
on
the
PBE
side.
11
million
surgical
masks
were
distributed
just
on
Friday.
We
now
have
an
inventory
over
38
point:
two
million
surgical
masks:
we've
been
ill,
distribute
thirty-two
point,
two
million
just
in
that
space.
I
couldn't
have
said
that
two
weeks
ago
we
are
making
enormous
progress
in
the
procurement
space.
I
mentioned
the
progress
we're
making
on
the
tracing
we're
getting
a
cohort
trained
and
the
testing.
So
all
those
things
are
factors
that
go
in
to
the
modification
of
the
statewide
order.
C
Again
we
mentioned
a
week
or
so
ago.
We
were
moving
into
this
second
phase.
We
didn't
say
we
were
stopping
in
the
middle
of
that
phase,
we'll
continue
to
progress
through
as
all
of
these
conditions
and
again
testing
capacity
to
trace
track.
All
of
these
conditions
begin
to
avail
themselves.
These
indicators
that
allow
us
to
go
green
also
remember
lower
risk
framework,
not
essential,
not
essential,
any
longer
lower
risk
and
so
office.
C
To
the
extent
you
can't
telework
lower
risk
again
with
modifications
guideline
that
we
put
forth
a
retail
pick
up
the
strip
malls
and
other
malls
that
can
afford
the
ability
to
do
that
and
are
not
locked
into
a
dome-like
setting.
We
think
that
also
is
lower
risk
consistent
with
the
retail
pickup
that
we
put
out
last
week,
so
that
is
subsequently
the
guidance.
K
It's
good
afternoon
to
all
of
you,
the
governor
I
know:
every
county
is
going
to
be
different.
The
bigger
counties
like
the
LA
County
will
probably
be
much
slower
and
opening
the
restaurants
we've
heard
all
kinds
of
figures.
I
asked
you
to
look
into
your
crystal
ball.
We've
heard
as
many
as
50
percent
of
the
restaurants.
As
we
know
them
will
not
be
able
to
survive.
This.
Do
you
think
it'll
be
that
bleak
throughout
the
state.
C
Having
again
been
in
the
industry
opened
and
had
to
close
the
number
of
restaurants,
the
percentage
that
fall
off
the
radar
on
an
annual
basis
is
already
alarmingly
high.
It's
one
of
the
most
tough
difficult,
challenging
businesses
and
competitive
businesses
out
there.
So
I
think
you
always
have
to
begin
from
that
frame
of
consideration
and
reference,
but
no
I
do
think
it
is
profoundly
challenging,
particularly
that
industry
the
rents
are
high.
C
Fixed
costs
are
extraordinarily
high,
bringing
back
your
staff
the
whole
notion
of
a
restaurant
when
you
bring
back
staff,
is
you
want
to
maximize
those
peak
hours
and
you
want
to
get
as
many
people
as
you
possibly
can
in
during
that
dinner
period?
If
we
have
to
modify-
and
we
do
because
of
health
considerations,
this
space?
That
means
those
peak
hours-
are
substantially
diminished,
but
your
fixed
costs
remain
high,
you're
already
running
on
low
margins.
To
begin
with,
so
look
I'm
I'm,
not
naive
about
any
of
this
and
deeply
concerned.
C
That's
why
that
PPP
program
is
so
important.
Sba
programs
are
so
important.
That's
why
any
subsequent
work
we
can
get
or
support.
We
can
get
from
the
federal
government's
why
I
put
out
that
letter
with
the
five
other
state
Western
Governors
yesterday
terms
of
requesting
more
support
from
the
federal
government
wasn't
just
about
the
state
of
California
or
their
state's
general
fund
budgets,
its
our
capacity
to
help
support
through
economic
stimulus
within
our
state's
the
efforts
to
help
support
these
restaurants
and
to
support
these
employees
through
a
series
of
other
additional
supports.
But
yeah.
B
C
Is
it's
going
to
be
very
trying?
Even
with
these
modifications
and
yes,
you're
correct?
There
should
be
no
pressure
on
the
local
officials
down
in
LA
or
elsewhere
to
feel
that
they
have
to
move
in
to
this
space
sooner,
because
their
conditions
are
very,
very
different
than
the
conditions
of
some
of
these
rural
counties
and
I.
Just
I
want
I
hope
when
this
is
reported
that
people
recognize
the
local
conditions,
particularly
in
LA,
County
and
they're
sensitive
to
what
phase
of
this
pandemic.
They
are
in
look
I.
C
And
assign
a
McClay
mmit.
All
of
this
can
be
very,
very
confusing
and
I
appreciate
that.
That's
why
I
just
want
to
remind
you
again,
easiest
distillation
of
where
we
are
and
where
you
are
at
a
county
level
versus
a
statewide
level,
is
to
go
to
the
Cova
nineteen
ca.gov
website
as
well.
I
encourage
you
to
do
the
same
as
it
relates
to
accessing
testing
just
type
in
your
zip
code.
Your
address
and
you'll
find
the
most
the
most
proximate
testing
facility
provide
reimbursed,
provided
for
you,
many
cases
with
online
capacity
to
reserve
a
slot.
C
So
you
know
when
how
and
when
to
access
those
tests,
a
good
news
on
progress
and
testing
PPE,
making
progress
on
tracing
No,
our
holding
steady
death
rate,
still
stubborn
and
devastating,
and
again
we
have
different
counties
experiencing
completely
different
conditions,
and
we
are
now
in
that
phase
of
trying
to
accommodate
for
all
of
that,
and
more
with
that.
Thank
you
for
accommodating
me
and
thank
