C
Coronavirus
afternoon,
everyone
thank
you
again
for
joining
us
for
yet
another
tuesday
zoom
update
on
covid19
in
the
state
of
california,
I'm
secretary
of
health
and
human
services
mark
galley,
and
it's
as
always
a
pleasure
to
be
with
you
today.
We're
going
to
do
a
number
of
things.
C
Give
you
our
normal
covid19
update
with
the
data
talk
through
a
little
bit
about
a
great
question
I
received
yesterday
the
governor
received
yesterday
about
our
projections
on
where
we're
thinking
hospitalizations
will
be
in
the
state
of
california,
update
on
some
guidances
for
some
important
sectors
and
then
go
into
our
tier
announcements
as
well
and
then,
as
always,
we'll
take
questions
at
the
end.
C
So
today
our
covid
case
numbers
are
3286
reported
cases
our
seven
day
average,
which
is
up
a
little
bit
over
the
last
week.
We've
been
talking
to
you
about
those
case
numbers
coming
up
some
just
over
3
000.
For
the
seven
day
average.
C
Our
total
tests
and
test
positivity
are
we're
hovering
close
to
150
000
tests
done,
and
that
is
you
know,
between
125
and
150
000
tests
a
day
for
the
last
many
days,
signaling
that
were
well
well
removed
from
those
days
where
fires
and
smoke
and
air
quality
were
hindering
our
ability
to
test
in
california.
C
Our
test,
positivity
at
2.6
at
the
14
day
is,
is
tremendous.
It's
really
some
of
the
lowest
test,
positivities
that
we've
seen
across
the
state
and
as
many
of
you
are
seeing
that
many
states
across
the
nation
and
frankly,
nations
across
the
globe,
are
facing
new
waves
of
cases.
C
I
think,
in
part,
because
of
the
blueprint
for
a
safer
economy,
but
also
because
of
the
many
important
things
you
californians
are
doing
on
a
day-to-day
basis.
Those
things
that
we
talk
to
you
about
we'll
remind
you
again
at
the
end
of
this
presentation
to
wear
your
mask.
Keep
your
distance!
C
Wash
your
hands
stay
home
when
you're
sick
and
get
your
flu
shot.
We
must
not
let
our
guard
down
continue
to
do
those
things.
We
talk
about
that
sector
of
personal
responsibility.
We
talk
about
how
we
can
do
many
things
ourselves
within
our
families
within
our
communities
to
keep
spread
down,
and
we
encourage
californians
to
keep
doing
that.
So
we
don't
see
the
slight
increases
turn
into
large
increases
in
cases.
C
The
slow,
stringent
focus
of
the
blueprint
for
a
safer
economy
continuing
to
be
guided
by
data
and
science
sector
based
working
with
all
of
our
partners
across
california's
economy,
to
make
sure
that
we're
taking
feedback
into
account
and
then
adhering
to
public
health
guidelines
supporting
listening
to
the
public
health
officials
in
your
local
communities
that
are
there
to
to
give
advice
and
give
guidance
so
that
we
can
get
through
this
all
together.
C
Yesterday,
we
received
a
great
question
about
something
I
shared
with
you
at
the
end
of
september,
which
was
projections
looking
at
increased
case
numbers,
our
hospital
status.
What
transmission
patterns
look
like
at
that
time
that
we
were
estimating
that
we
might
see
a
near
doubling
89
increase
in
hospitalizations,
thankfully,
through
our
hard
work
and
continued
look
at
cases,
our
testing,
our
isolation,
our
contact
tracing
work.
C
So
part
of
today's
updates
are
long-awaited
theme
park,
guidance,
guidance,
around
live
professional
sporting
events
at
outdoor
stadiums
and
then
I'll
just
say
it
now
that,
based
on
a
number
of
conversations
are
looking
at
the
data
and
the
evidence
that
we're
moving
all
personal
care
services
able
to
resume
operations
indoors.
With
the
stated
modifications
in
tier
one,
that's
the
purple
tier
you'll.
Remember
we
started
out
with
hair
salons
barber
shops
open
in
tier
one.
We
later
added
nail
salons
and
today
we're
adding
things
like
tattoo
parlors.
C
Hair
removal
and
massage
businesses,
so
all
of
those
personal
services,
as
we've
categorized
them,
are
now
in
tier
one.
C
So
before
we
get
into
the
theme
parks
in
this
sport,
professional
sport
guidance,
I
just
want
to
say
a
personal
note
of
thanks.
I
think,
on
behalf
of
all
of
us,
at
the
state
working
with
industry
leaders,
labor
leaders,
communities,
understanding
what
the
different
factors
are
that
go
into
these
and
very
important
businesses,
so
that
we
can
assure
that
our
guidance
is
really
leading
california
with
science
and
data.
We
as
it
relates
to
theme
parks.
C
I
think
many
of
you
know
we
sent
teams
of
local
or
state
leaders
in
public
health
in
our
business
community
to
visit
with
theme
park
operators
to
understand
what
the
plans
were,
how
those
plans
might
guide
our
own
decision
making
and
how
we
are
sure
we're
doing
all
we
can
to
keep
both
employees
and
visitors
at
theme
parks
as
safe
as
possible.
C
We
also
had
the
opportunity
to
send
a
small
team
to
some
of
the
operating
parks
in
other
parts
of
the
nation,
and
they
came
back
with
lots
of
valuable
lessons
things
that
we
saw
that
we
were
very
reassured
by
were
really
great
management
of
how
lines
were
managed.
Keeping
groups
separate
groups
apart,
while
in
a
line,
while
on
a
ride,
really
great
lessons
learned
there,
but
also
some
things
that
you
know
raised
some
concern
the
level
of
mixing
even
without
masks
that
seemed
very
random
and
concerning
to
us.
C
So
those
those
different
areas
of
information
were
really
assimilated
and
guided
where
we
landed
with
this
guidance-
and
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
there
part
of
what
has
guided
this
is
this
notion
that
there's
higher
risk
settings
and
lower
risk
settings
over
the
last
many
weeks
we've
been
talking
to
you
about
that
difference
between
high
risk
and
low
risk
settings.
The
fact
that
some
settings
can
be
modified
significantly
to
reduce
risk
and
other
or
harder
to
modify
just
by
the
nature
of
the
activities.
C
People
visiting
certain
settings
for
a
number
of
days,
not
just
for
a
few
hours
but
spending
a
whole
week
or
a
weekend
in
a
community
promoting
you
know
that
might
promote
mixing
and
congregating,
not
just
at
the
activity
but
within
within
that
community.
The
fact
that
many
surfaces
get
touched
and
handled
by
a
number
of
different
people
and
then,
as
I
mentioned
just
now,
that
there
could
be
significant
impact
on
surrounding
sectors,
whether
that's
the
hotel,
hospitality
industry,
restaurants,
other
retail,
in
in
the
community.
C
C
Really,
I
think
about
this
is
controlled,
mixing
where
we
can
actually
work
with
our
business
partners
to
make
sure
people
are
coming
in
and
out,
staying
with
their
cohort,
their
household,
for
example,
and
not
necessarily
mixing
with
many
others
that
they're
not
used
to
being
around
again
ability
to
control,
not
just
the
absolute
number
of
visitors,
but
also
from
where
they
come
from,
for
example,
being
able
to
say
visitors
really
only
from
a
certain
radius
or
distance
or
even
from
a
specific
county.
These
visits
are
often
shorter
in
duration.
C
We
can
see,
and
somehow
in
stadiums,
for
example,
having
pre-assigned
seating
that
is
physically
distanced
and
maintained
throughout
the
entire
experience
where
concession
can
be
delivered
to
the
row,
for
example,
and
it
doesn't
require
you
to
get
up
mix
around
a
a
concourse
or
or
a
different
part
of
a
venue
in
order
to
get
food
or
use
the
restroom.
C
So
you
can
imagine
if
somebody
turns
positive
in
a
stadium
in
section
102,
we
could
easily
know
all
the
different
visitors
in
that
section
through
the
ticket
sale
platform
to
make
sure
that
we
reach
out
and
and
do
the
appropriate
level
of
disease
investigation
and
contact
tracing.
So
these
higher
risk
versus
lower
risk
settings
really
were
an
important
guiding
principle
and
how
we
did
end
up
with
the
guidance
that
we
are
putting
out
today
so
for
theme
parks.
We
have
saddened.
C
The
governor
alluded
to
this
that
we
would
have
a
category
for
smaller
theme
parks
and
these
smaller
theme
parks
can
resume
operations
in
tier
3
or
orange
tier.
These
will
be
limited
in
capacity
up
to
25
or
500
visitors.
C
Whichever
is
fewer,
they
can
only
operate
with
outdoor
attractions
and
ticket
sales
must
be
limited
to
visitors
in
the
same
county,
so
some
counties
with
small
boardwalk,
for
example,
amusement
park
venues
visitors
from
that
county
once
the
county
is
in
orange
and
public
health,
local
public
health
has
worked
with
those
operators
and
determined
that
it
is
a
safe
and
appropriate
thing
to
do
from
the
state's
perspective
can
begin
those
operations
for
visitors
from
within
the
county.
For
all
the
other
theme
parks,
the
larger
theme
parks.
C
We
are
waiting
till
tier
four,
that's
the
yellow
tier
with
a
limited
capacity
of
25.
Even
in
that
yellow
tier
all
theme,
parks
are
going
to
be
required
to
implement
reservation
systems
so
pre-sale
of
tickets.
So
we
can
be
sure
that
individuals
are
coming.
You
know
not
not
showing
up
the
day
of
expecting
to
buy
tickets,
that
they'll
have
the
ability,
then
to
screen
guests
for
symptoms
in
advance
and
know
again,
who
was
in
the
park
when
so
potentially
as
a
tool
to
make
contact
tracing
easier.
C
C
Ticket
sales
will
have
some
restrictions
as
well,
for
customers
within
120
mile
radius
to
limit
the
amount
of
potential
mixing
and
certainly
discouraging
out
of
state
travel
or
far
away
travel
for
multiple
days
in
order
to
enjoy
a
sporting
event
again
advanced
ticket
sales
and
assigned
seats
no
day
of,
or
will
call
ticket
sales
eating
and
drinking
and
assigned
seats.
C
Only
including
concession
stands
and
not
not
open,
but
really
ordering
and
delivering
food
to
a
row
face
coverings
is
mandatory
throughout
the
stadium
and
less
eating
or
drinking
also
support
coming
in
and
out
of
the
stadium.
So
we
avoid
groups
mixing
together
that
would
otherwise
not
be
seated
next
to
each
other
and
then
prohibiting
tailgating
and
ensuring
that
parking
is
at
the
stadiums
and
not
in
parts
of
the
surrounding
community.
C
C
That
certainly
could
be
considered
as
we
continue
to
modify
our
approach
and
and
and
consider
all
the
data
and
information
that
is
is
made
available
to
us
as
we
increase
our
experience
through
covet
19..
C
So
I
now
want
to
turn
it
over
to
dr
erica
pond
to
come
up
and
share
with
you
a
little
bit
about
where
we
are
with
our
blueprint,
the
tiering
assignments
for
the
week
and
a
partnership
with
some
southern
california
counties
to
really
support
a
focus
on
reducing
transmission
in
very
important
parts
of
california.
Dr
pond,.
D
Good
afternoon,
thank
you,
everyone,
so
you've
heard
a
little
bit
about
where
we
are
as
a
state
and
as
again
as
you
know,
about
our
blueprint
for
a
safer
economy,
we've
been
making
a
lot
of
progress
together
and
our
blueprint
really
outlines
again.
What
are
the
criteria
for
loosening
or
tightening
restrictions
on
activities
in
our
state?
D
We
want
to
continue
to
do
everything
we
can
as
a
state
to
work
with
our
partners
to
move
the
whole
state
forward,
which
includes
really
focusing
next
on
these
three
counties.
We
learned
a
lot
of
lessons
from
our
focused
central
valley
efforts
and
our
central
valley
strike
teams,
and
our
state
is
planning
to
partner
with
these
counties
in
several
ways
to
help
again
move
them
forward
which
will
help
us
all
as
a
state
move
forward.
D
We
will
increase
testing
resources
in
key
areas,
so
we've
talked
a
lot
to
our
partners
in
these
jurisdictions
and
we
know
that
there
are
certain
populations
that
are
harder
to
reach,
or
it's
also
really
helpful
to
have.
For
example,
mobile
testing
resources,
so
sometimes
we
don't
know
where
a
certain
outbreak
is
going
to
be
or
where
we
see
shifts
and
where
disease
transition
is,
and
the
counties
really
need
more
flexibility
in
that.
D
So
some
counties
need
more
mobile
testing
and
there
are
other
specific
things
and
needs
that
each
county
has
that
we
are
going
to
work
with
them
to
address.
There's
also
continuing
needs
for
isolation
resources.
D
So
in
order
to
serve
those
that
are
having
the
most
disease
and
that
need
all
of
these
resources
we
just
talked
about.
We
really
need
trusted
community
partners
to
be
able
to
work
and
reach
individual
cases
talk
with
those
cases
about
who
they
might
have
come
in
contact
with
help
reach
those
contacts
as
well,
and
do
all
that
in
a
way
that
allows
for
trust,
allows
it
to
be
culturally
appropriate.
D
We
also
want
to
work
very
closely
with
businesses
as
well
to
educate
and
also
enforce
so
we're
working
across
the
state
and
our
different
agencies
with
our
office
of
emergency
services,
our
businesses,
our
communities,
excuse
me,
consumer
services
and
housing
agencies,
our
labor
agency
and
our
california
department
of
food
and
agriculture.
Together,
we
can
really
look
at
where
are
there
areas?
We
could
better
support
employees
or
employers
to
help
protect
their
workers
and
as
well
as
their
patrons
and
be
thinking
about
all
of
these
issues
around
how
do
they
get
to
and
from
work.
D
How,
again,
are
we
providing
resources
when
people
are
ill
and
out
from
work?
How
are
making
sure
they
have
all
the
safety
and
personal
protection
they
need
when
they're
at
work?
Are
they
doing
everything
they
can
to
make
sure
people
are
physically
distanced
in
order
to
also
serve
their
clients?
So
all
of
these
efforts,
we
are
again
pleased
to
share
that
we'll
be
working
closely
with
these
three
southern
california
counties
to
move
them
forward
and
help
them
continue
to
move
california
forward.
D
So,
finally,
you
know
as
we're
emphasizing
over
and
over
again,
we
can't
say
it
enough.
These
simple
acts
can
really
make
a
big
difference,
and
we
these
make
a
big
difference
for
copenhagen
and
for
flu,
and
actually
all
other
respiratory
viruses
too.
So,
as
we
all
remember,
to
wear
our
masks
maintain
at
least
six
feet
of
distance
from
others,
wash
your
hands
minimize
mixing,
especially
across
different
communities,
and
it's
really
important.
We
have
a
huge
campaign
right
now
to
prevent
flu
this
year.
D
So
please,
please
remember
to
get
your
flu
vaccine
and
make
sure
you
and
your
loved
ones
do.
I
have
gotten
mine
and
my
loved
ones
have
and
really
it's
important
to
protect
both
yourself
and
the
general
community
to
get
your
flu
vaccine
and
help
prevent
flu
in
our
community
this
winter
as
well,
and
with
that
I
will
turn
it
back
over
to
secretary
galley.
C
Thank
you,
dr
ponn,
and
I
just
want
to
say
a
note
of
thanks
also
to
the
leaders,
public
health
and
elected
leaders
locally
in
riverside
san
bernardino
and
los
angeles
county
for
the
the
partnership
I'm
looking
forward
to
what
we
can
do
together
to
address
transmission
and,
as
dr
pond
said,
in
those
focused
areas
and
and
really
help
those
counties
move
forward,
but
also
really
continue
to
carry
the
state
forward
in
the
way.
C
I
know
all
of
you
expect
us
to
move
forward
and-
and
I
think
the
next
many
weeks
will
be
critical
for
those
counties
and
us
as
an
entire
state.
So
with
that,
I
want
to.
E
F
Good
afternoon,
I
wanted
to
check
on
the
theme
parks
as
far
as
on
the
the
number
of
visitors.
What
the?
Why
can't?
The
bigger
theme
parks,
also
open
with
the
same
limits
on
visitor
numbers
or,
as
you
alluded
to
a
little
bit,
is
a
bigger
concern
about
drawing
tourists
from
farther
away
and
the
impact
on
on
the
that
that
might
have
on
the
transmission
and
the
testing
and
the
tracing.
If
you
can
expand
on
that
a
bit.
C
Yeah
don
you,
you
did
really
answer
your
own
question.
In
large
part,
it
was
really
the
nature
of
the
smaller
amusement
theme
parks.
Is
that
they're
really
local
activities?
They
often
don't
draw
from
broad
communities
and
they're
they're
almost
exclusively
outdoors?
They
don't
have
as
many
indoor
venues
or
or
aspects
of
being
indoors.
Even
many
of
the
eateries
are
outdoors.
C
So
for
all
of
those
reasons
we
did
set
that
difference
and
as
as
I
said,
what,
during
the
presentation
that
these
are
places
where
we
are
today,
as
we
carry
through
the
next
many
weeks
and
months,
and
we
learn
lessons
from
what
happens
in
the
near
future.
It
may
certainly
change
our
approach
to
the
you
know,
months
months
down
the
road.
G
C
Yeah,
I
think,
on
the
the
first
one
I
mean
we,
we
did
it
looking
at
capacity
and
and
the
nature
of
the
the
sort
of
venues
and
attraction,
and
we
we
did
pick
a
capacity
limit
at
15,
000
or
fewer.
That
would
be
considered.
C
The
smaller
theme
parks
and
anything
larger
would
be
in
the
other
category
in
terms
of
the
concern
about
not
reaching
yellow
so
today,
for
example,
san
francisco
county,
a
large
california
county,
very
visible
one,
lots
of
you
know,
different
types
of
communities
and
neighborhoods
did
today
reach
the
yellow
tier.
They
were
benefited
by
the
health
equity
metric.
C
Many
of
the
other
large
counties
with
large
theme
parks
could
also
benefit.
From
the
same,
I
think
some
of
the
focused
targeted
state
partnership
with
la
san
bernardino
riverside
will
certainly
help
there
and
open
to
supporting
other
counties
in
in
very
much
the
same
way,
but
we
are
seeing
it
now
that
certain
larger
counties
are
indeed
able
to
move
the
yellow,
and
we
do
believe
that
it
is
possible
and
that
we've
constructed
a
system
that
could
allow
it.
It
will
require
a
lot
of
work.
It
will
require
a
lot
of
vigilance.
C
It
will
require
us
to
do
testing,
contact,
tracing
and
support
isolation
in
serious
and
real
ways
throughout
our
communities
to
make
sure
that
no
part
of
our
population
is
lagging
or
not
not
sort
of
enjoying
those
reduced
transmissions,
but
we
believe
it's
possible,
and
san
francisco
is
a
great
case
in
point.
G
Diego
thank
you,
dr
kelly.
Could
you
give
us
just
some
more
insight
into
what
is
going
on
in
san
diego
county
and
these
other
counties
that
have
been
teetering
between
red
and
purple
constantly?
What's
not
happening
here?
What
needs
to
happen?
What
guidance
are
you
putting
forward
and
then
some
health
officers
have
talked
about?
They
want
to
credit
because
constantly
keeping
hospital
numbers
no
low,
could
you
address
why
that's
not
factored
into
the
rates.
C
Yeah,
so
so
on
the
first
one,
you
know
it's
not
surprising,
that
we
have
counties
that
are
sort
of
on
the
cusp
they
move.
They
move
a
little
bit
forward
or
deeper
into
the
red
tier,
and
then
they
have
some
increase
in
cases
and
certainly
in
larger
urban
counties,
where
spread
can
happen
more
rapidly
because
of
denser
settings.
C
You
can
see
that
happen
and
we
have
been
in
close
contact
with
san
diego,
in
particular
over
many
many
weeks,
looking
closely
at
their
data
making
sure
we
have
it
right
making
sure
they
have
they're
they're,
delivering
the
the
right
information
to
us
and
and
you're
absolutely
right.
There's
there's
each
week
we
sort
of
walk
in
and
wonder
whether
we're
gonna
be
which
side
of
the
threshold
that
we're
going
to
be
on.
C
But
as
I've
said
previously,
the
blueprint
allows
us
to
look
at
things
and
loosen
and
tighten
accordingly,
and
we
will
do
that
with
san
diego
and
other
counties
that
are
sort
of
living
on
a
specific
threshold
on
whatever
tier,
between
whichever
two
tiers
and
then
could
you
repeat,
your
second
question.
C
I
remember
it
now:
it's
about
the
hospitalization
numbers
we
have
heard
and
had
lots
of
conversation
with
health
officers
and
and
frankly
many
others
about
the
integration
of
a
hospital
preparedness
metric.
We
chose
not
to
use
it,
although
we
follow
it
closely.
The
governor
updates
it
every
single
day,
not
just
hospital
beds,
icu
beds,
ventilator
capacity,
we're
working
closely
in
track
all
of
the
different
staffing
issues
within
both
our
acute
care
hospitals
and
our
skilled
nursing
facilities
across
the
state.
So
they
are
absolutely
numbers
that
we
track.
C
We
know
that
if
the
case
numbers
themselves
are
going
up,
we
can
predict
in
three
to
four
weeks
that
we're
going
to
see
hospital
increases
as
well,
so
using
the
case
numbers
and
the
test.
Positivity,
we
believe,
gives
us
a
much
clearer
view
into
what
the
hospital
situation
is
going
to
be
down
the
road
and
that's
why
we've
chosen
to
use
those
metrics
as
opposed
to
also
using
a
hospital-based
metric,
as
we
did
in
the
past
and
as
I
think
many
people
would
like
us
to
consider
doing.
H
Oc
dr
galley,
thanks
for
taking
our
questions,
mine
is
about
youth
sport
and
getting
a
lot
of
questions
from
parents
just
around
the
state.
Frankly,
on
you
know,
when
you
know
their
children
might
be
able
to
go,
play
soccer
or
baseball
games
again,
I
was
just
wondering
if
there's
any
movement
on
that
front.
C
Yeah
I
mean
you
must
also
be
eavesdropping
at
my
house,
my
kids,
all
four
of
them
ask
all
the
time.
When
am
I
gonna
get
to
play
basketball?
What
about
a
tennis
tournament?
All
of
these
important?
You
know
life-forming
activities
for
young
people
and
we're
very
interested
in
that
and
and
stay
tuned.
G
Thanks
so
much
for
taking
these
questions,
this
is
a
kind
of
a
complicated
idea
to
articulate
it'd
be
easier
to
explain
if
everything
was
going
badly
or
if
the
coronavirus
was
completely
eliminated.
So
I'm
hoping
you
can
explain
this
idea.
Can
you
talk
in
more
detail
about
why
california
is
doing
better
than
you
expected
and
compared
to
the
rest
of
the
country
and
whether,
if
you
are
a
betting
man,
you
still
expect
the
pandemic
to
worsen
in
california
as
the
weather
gets
colder?
C
Great
question,
and
so
I'll
just
say
you
said
better
than
expected.
This
is
what
we
expected.
We
expected
that
the
slow
and
stringent
approach
will
carry
us
and
that's
why
we
put
it
in
play
and
I
would
say
it
would
be.
You
know
somewhat
irresponsible
if
we
didn't
expect
this
to
work
and
really
support
the
public
health
messaging,
that
we
have
worked
hard
across
the
state
to
hold
on
to
driven
by
data
driven
by
signs.
C
Taking
the
lessons
from
earlier
parts
of
our
response
and
changing
them
I'll
remind
you
that
early
on,
we
said
it
takes
two
weeks
before
we
see
a
change.
Now
we
recognize
it's
three
to
four
weeks
before
the
data
really
tells
us
what
change.
What
actually
happened,
based
on
a
change.
We
understand
that
things
like
being
outdoors
is
a
very
important
part
of
our
guidance
that
limiting
opportunities
for
random
mixing.
C
All
of
these
lessons
over
the
last
few
months
have
been
incorporated
into
the
blueprint,
so
we're
happy
with
the
progress
that
we've
made
but,
as
I
said
earlier,
with
every
day
in
covid,
we
can
see
something
change
and
it
can
change
quickly.
So
we
want
californians
to
continue
to
keep
their
guard
up,
to
be
attentive
to
the
local
and
state
public
health
guidance
and
to
limit
their
activities
as
much
as
possible.
C
What
we
see
down
the
road.
I
really
do
hope
that,
even
though
we'll
likely
see
some
increase
in
cases
that
it's
something
that
california
keeps
relatively
low,
that
our
hospitals
are
able
to
handle
the
volume
with
a
great
deal
of
success,
that
we
don't
experience
any
of
the
staffing
shortages
but
rest
assured
we're
prepared
for
any
of
those
scenarios.
But
I
think
you
know
compared
to
other
parts
of
the
nation
and
the
globe
that
our
approach
is
helping
us
in
part
now.
C
But
I
have
to
give
credit
to
lots
and
lots
of
californians
that
continue
to
support
and
do
many
of
the
important
things
and
I
believe,
that's
carrying
us
through
now.
Unlike
some
other
parts
of
the
nation
in
the
globe
that
are
certainly
having
a
different
approach
and
different
experiences
than
where
we
are
today.
J
I
I
Hundreds
probably
thousands
of
bay
area,
college
age
students
who
are
studying
right
now
on
campuses
across
the
country.
Some
of
those
campuses
have
mandatory
copic,
19,
weekly
testing
and
others
do
not
how
much
of
it
or
how
much
I
should
say
rather
of
a
concern.
Is
it
when
those
students
start
to
return
to
the
bay
area
for
thanksgiving
break
and
winter
break
the
ones
that
have
not
necessarily
been
tested
every
week?
How
much
of
a
concern
would
it
be
that
they
might
be
asymptomatic
carriers,
and
could
we
see
a
spike
here
in
cases.
C
Yeah,
I
mean
it's
an
excellent
question.
We
have
many
many
cases
where
exactly
that
story
that
you
mentioned
occurs.
Somebody
who
has
has
maybe
themselves
tried
to
do
a
good
job,
but
not
a
perfect
job
of
sort
of
staying,
avoiding
avoiding
different
people
and
mixing,
and
then
they
end
up
going
home
and
a
young
person
who's
asymptomatic
or
mildly
symptomatic,
does
infect
somebody
who's
either
a
bit
older
or
has
underlying
comorbidities
or
underlying
conditions
and
is
at
higher
risk.
And
then
we
see
hospitalizations
and
unfortunately
deaths.
So
it
is
absolutely
a
concern.
C
We
ask
people
not
to
just
use
testing
to
give
them
a
sense
that
everything's
all
clear.
We
still
need
to
continue
to
do
the
same
things
that
we
drive
home
on
this
zoom,
that
the
governor
shares
on
a
weekly
basis
that
we
really
do
need
to
limit
our
mixing,
keep
our
face
covering
on
and
avoid
any
of
the
high-risk
environment.
So
if
we
do
end
up
going
home
those
young
students
who
may
feel
fine
that
they've
done
all
that
they
can
to
keep
their
own
risk
of
being
infected
down.
C
Of
course,
if
people
are
sick
or
or
having
symptoms
themselves,
I
would
caution
against
going
home.
I
would
caution
caution
against
creating
a
potential
spread
in
transmission,
so
I
know
those
are
individual
decisions.
Decisions
between
households,
but
I
think
very
important
and
many
of
our
national
leaders
are-
are
raising
cautions
around
that
as
well
as
we
enter
this
holiday
season
so
more
to
come
on
that,
but
certainly
an
important
thing
for
people
to
start.
Considering
today.
K
Yeah
hi,
I
have
a
it's
kind
of
a
two-part
question,
but
the
impression
I
get
for
being
part,
whether
it's
disneyland
the
sea
world,
which
is
partially
reopened
legoland.
K
It's
really
hard
to
know
what
that
timeline
is
because
we
have
no
way
of
knowing
when
the
cheer,
when
we're
going
to
enter
the
least
restrictive
tier.
So
we
could
be
the
end
of
this
year.
It
could
be
sometime
next
year.
We
basically
have
no
way
of
knowing.
Is
that
correct
and
number
two
regarding
sea
world
which
is
open
under
rules
for
aquariums
and
zoos?
K
C
Yeah
so
the
the
second
question
first
you're,
absolutely
right,
the
the
main
difference,
there's
other
small
differences,
but
the
main
difference
is
around
attractions
and
and
some
of
the
the
capacity
rules
for
specific
parts
of
an
operating,
zoo
or
museum,
as
as
they
are
for
your
first
part
of
the
question.
You're
right,
we
don't
have
the
crystal
ball,
I
don't
know
when
orange
county
or
san
diego
county
will
indeed
enter
yellow.
But,
as
I
said
earlier,
I
think
there's
lots
of
work.
C
We
can
do
together
both
state
local
business
leaders,
community
leaders,
individuals
to
do
what
we
can
to
make
sure
that
we
reduce
transmission
throughout
our
county
and
and
there
is
a
path
forward
there.
We
do
not
know
when,
but
we
do
know
how-
and
I
think
we'll
continue
to
put
in
the
hard
work
to
get
us
there.
One
county
at
a
time
but
across
the
entire
state
is
our
hope.
G
Angeles
all
right,
thank
you
very
much,
dr
kelly.
What
if
you
or
dr,
could
elaborate
on
the
vision
you
see
for
the
assistance
of
three
socal
counties
was
involved
in
teams
of
enforcers,
basically
to
make
sure
the
rules
are
observed,
and
you
also
were
also
trying
to
deal
with
the
contact
racing
issues
we've
had,
particularly
in
la
county.
C
Yeah,
these
are
really
moments
for
partnership.
I've
personally
been
in
touch
with
leaders
in
all
three
counties.
I
know
dr
pond's
team
at
the
department
of
public
health.
California,
department
of
public
health
is
working
closely
with
the
public
health
leaders.
I'll
say
the
form
of
support
will
take
many
different
forms,
but
really
be
tailored
around
the
needs
identified
by
our
local
leaders
and
public
health
officials.
C
It
may
involve
increased
testing
capacity
and
resources
in
certain
hard
hit
communities
or
industries.
It
certainly
could
infor
involve
additional
support.
Around
enforcement
of
certain
higher
risk
settings
and
and
businesses
where
we
know
transmission
is
occurring
and
occurring
at
high
levels,
but
we
always
lead
with
support
on
compliance
and
education
as
part
of
that
as
well,
and
then,
as
dr
pond
mentioned,
support
of
the
community-based
organizations
that
really
have
strong
boots
on
the
ground,
strong
connections
to
communities
and
can
support
acceptance
and
understanding
of
things
involved
in
contact
racing.
C
This
won't
replace
county-based
contact
racing
in
any
way.
We
will
continue
to
support,
as
we
mentioned
the
governor
mentioned
the
week
before
this
one,
in
in
terms
of
an
update
on
contact
tracing
making
sure
that
those
state
staff
that
are
in
those
counties
continue
to
support
county
efforts
and
then,
of
course,
making
sure
that
we
add
bilingual
staff
and
that
we
can
communicate
with
all
individuals.
C
I
I
will
also
say
that
a
portion
of
it
is
going
to
be
around
supportive
isolation
and
making
sure
that
counties
have
the
resources
they
need
to
ensure
that
those
who
are
are
contacted
and
can
be
isolated,
have
the
resources
to
do
that,
whether
that's
the
need
for
a
hotel
food
support,
other
hygiene
or
or-
or
you
know
things
like
a
separation
curtain
or
whatever
it
takes
to
make
sure
that
we
limit
transmission.
C
The
state
is
committing
committed
to
working
with
all
three
of
those
counties
to
do
what
we
can
to
increase
efforts
to
reduce
transmission,
and
we
hope
see
those
counties
not
just
come
down
in
the
purple
tier
but
move
into
the
red
tier.
So
both
businesses
and
schools
have
a
chance
to
consider
reopening.
G
Hi
dr
galley
you're
talking
about
counties
that
are
walking
that
threshold.
First,
I
was
looking
at
some
of
the
new
data.
It
appears
that
san
diego
county
has
had
a
week
of
purple
two
data,
a
7.1
on
that
adjusted
case
rate.
Can
you
confirm
that,
and
are
you
concerned
at
all
about
transmission
in
san
diego
county?
I
know
just
county
officials
last
week
held
a
news
conference
talking
about
data
that
they
had
that's
going
to
be
included
in
next
week's
tuesday
report
that
they
were
saying
is
concerning.
G
Are
you
concerned
at
all
about
transmission
rates?
There.
C
You
know
again
the
second
part
of
your
question.
First,
absolutely
we're
concerned
when
we
see
transmission
just
about
anywhere-
and
we
know
san
diego
does
a
tremendous
job
of
tracking
where
their
transmission
is.
In
fact,
they
have
pretty
pretty
incredible
information
about
where
outbreaks
are
occurring
and,
and
certainly
that
sort
of
knowledge
allows
them
to
have
early
warning
flags
about
where
they
would
target
their
interventions.
So
in
some
ways
the
notes
of
caution
that
san
diego
is
able
to
provide
to
their
their
residents
is
really.
C
You
know
a
fantastic
tool
in
controlling
transmission
and
being
able
to
communicate
clearly
as
to
where
the
county
is.
We
did
just
to
your
first
part
of
your
question.
The
adjusted
case
rate
actually
has
been
adjusted
down.
C
They
did
meet
threshold,
so
they
do
not
have
one
week
in
the
purple
tier,
although,
as
I
said,
they're
hovering
between
that
sort
of
fine
line
and
we're
working
closely
with
them
to
make
sure
that
the
data
is
right
and
any
additional
guidance
or
support
that
the
state
can
provide
to
make
sure
that
they
stay
on
the
red
side
of
that
threshold,
because
that
tells
us
that
transmission
rates
are
not
going
up
but
coming
down
and
stabilizing
in
that
very
large
and
important
california.
County.
J
Thank
you,
secretary
gali
schools
across
the
state
are
making
decisions
and
going
back
into
classrooms,
while
others,
you
know,
are
more
inclined
to
wait
until
january.
So
I
just
wanted
to
ask
you
if
you
think,
is
why,
from
a
public
health
perspective,
that
schools
are
going
back
now,
just
as
we
head
into
the
you
know
the
depths
of
this
twin
democrats,
people
are
calling
it
with
blue
season
and
coal
the
cold
feet
than
coming.
Is
it
wise
for
kids
to
be
going
back
into
classrooms
right
now?
C
That's
being
asked
county
by
county
district
by
district
and
and
in
some
ways
the
the
right
answer
is
to
say
when
the
conditions
in
the
county
meet
the
thresholds,
and
we
believe
we
have
the
right
ones
of
stably
in
the
red
tier
that
considering
some
in-person
education
is
a
safe
thing,
but
also
making
sure
that
schools
are
in
partnership
with
their
local
health
authorities
and
personnel
to
make
sure
that
when
they
do
see
somebody
with
symptoms
that
could
be
coveted
that
they
know
what
to
do
that
when
they
do
identify
a
case
in
a
student
or
a
staff
member
in
the
school
that
they
know
what
to
do,
that.
C
They
have
all
of
the
tools
there,
because
there
will
no
doubt
be
cases
in
a
school.
Whether
it
occurred
at
that
school
or
not,
is
an
open
question
and
worth
investigation,
and
we
want
to
have
the
tools
there
to
investigate
but
to
put
the
tools
available
and
the
states
committed
to
working
with
our
local
education
and
public
health
partners
to
make
sure
those
tools
are
available.
C
We
believe
that
schools
can
make
the
decision
even
now
to
bring
kids
back
in
person
education
and
believe
that
it's
important
that
those
conversations
occur
at
the
right
time
and
that
any
questions
about
well
would
this
resource
make
a
difference
with
this
rule
or
or
or
procedure,
make
a
difference
that
we
ask
all
of
those
important
questions.
So
we
have
thoughtful
return
of
students
and
staff
in
person,
education
and
certainly
as
a
goal.
You
know
it
it's
many
of
you
know
that
both
dr
pond
and
I
are
pediatricians.
C
We
care
deeply
about
educating
our
young
people,
making
sure
that
california's
future
is
secured,
but
while
we
ensure
that
staff
and
other
personnel
at
the
schools
are
indeed
safe
and
that
we've
done
all
we
can
to
mitigate
risk
and
then
the
environment
around
the
school
is
stable
enough
and
low
enough
with
transmission
that
it
can
be
safe.
That
said,
if
the
decision
is
held
to
wait
a
little
longer
to
see
what
happens
in
the
next
few
weeks,
certainly
that's
a
local
decision
and
we're
willing
to
partake
in
all
of
those
conversations.
L
Hi.
Thank
you.
Theme
parks
are
typically
regulated
by
a
variety
of
state
and
political
agencies,
as
they
start
to
reopen.
Who
will
monitor
them
to
make
sure
they're
following
the
guidelines
and
what
would
trigger
a
park
closure
after
reopening.
C
So
so,
certainly
you
know
all
of
the
same
regulations
and
procedures.
Both
you
know,
workplace
food,
other
things
are
all
in
place
and
will
continue
to
be
the
responsibility
of
the
theme
park
to
abide
with
and
regular
inspections
will
occur.
C
We
will
also
ensure
that
our
public
health
teams
and
the
local
public
health
teams
have
access
to
the
parks
to
ensure
that
there
are
no
material
violations
of
the
modifications
that
we've
put
forward
as
part
of
our
guidance
and
if,
through
the
normal
process
and
conversation
and
working
together,
we're
not
able
to
meet
the
needs
or
or
or
ensure
that
things
are
done
in
a
safe
and
satisfactory
way.
C
Following
the
public
health
guidance,
there
will
be,
you
know,
standard
or
typical
enforcement
conversations
and
potentially
things
that
lead
to
partial
or
complete
closures,
and
then
I'll
remind
you
that
the
county
transmission
also
will
be
an
important
part
to
follow
and
that
a
theme
park
that
might
open
if
there
is
widespread
transmission
in
that
county
again,
along
with
other
business
sectors.
There
may
be
the
request
for
that
county
that
was
once
in
yellow
to
move
back
in
a
tier,
and
it
would
have
an
impact
on
theme
park
operations.
F
G
You,
secretary
golly,
I
appreciate
you
taking
our
call
earlier.
You
mentioned
guidance
for
allowing
limited
numbers
of
spectators
at
professional
sports.
My
question
deals
with
collegiate
sports.
Since
we
have
the
pac-10
and
mountain
west
conferences
both
wanting
to
return
to
football.
This
fall.
What
sort
of
guidance
is
there
for
college
football
and
outdoor
stadiums.
C
Yeah
at
this
time,
we're
really
starting
with
the
professional
sports
venues.
We
are
certainly
going
to
look
at
the
experience
here,
understanding
what
what
how
to
use
this
new
guidance
and
to
inform
future
guidances.
But
at
the
moment
we
don't
have
current
plans
to
release
guidance
for
spectators
at
collegiate
or
other
types
of
sporting
things.
G
Dr
dolly
you
mentioned
that
personal
services
are
moving
into
tier
one
and,
given
that
tier
one
seems
limited
to
what
are
considered
essential
services.
What
is
the
rationale
behind
now?
Allowing
hair
removal
and
tattooing.
C
Sure
again,
these
are
all
parts
of
small,
often
small,
operated,
well-controlled
environments
where
modifications
can
be
put
in
place
that
really
do
reduce
risk,
and
when
we
look
at
the
totality
of
that
sector,
we
did
feel
after
numerous
conversations
and
discussions
about
even
additional
modifications,
additional
barriers,
additional
security
that
we
know
who's
in
and
out
and
protections
for
both
workers
and
patrons
that
all
of
those
services
could
be
just
like
hair.
Just
like
nails
could
be
part
of
tier
one.
C
So
that
was
the
rationale,
a
decision
that,
of
course,
we
didn't
make
right
away
where
we're
now
in
week,
seven
of
our
new
blueprint.
So
we
did
listen
thoughtfully,
look
at
the
data
and
information
and
decided
to
make
this
move
now.
C
So
with
that,
I
I
know
it
was
a
last
question
quite
a
few
to
get
through,
but
really
a
privilege
to
have
a
chance
to
answer
and
update
both
our
colleagues
at
the
press
and
and
and
all
of
california,
on
where
we
are
with
kovid.
C
I
look
forward
to
the
ongoing
conversations
next
week,
exciting
announcement
by
the
governor
on
our
expanded
testing
partnership,
a
large
state
lab
that
will
help
us
increase
one
of
the
most
important
tools,
but
not
the
only
tool
but
a
very
important
tool
with
testing
in
our
covid
response
and
a
chance
to
update
you
further
and
as
all
as
always.
I
wish
you
a
a
a
safe
and
happy.
