From YouTube: Governor Newsom's COVID-19 Update - May 18, 2020
Description
California Governor Gavin Newsom provides an update on the state's ongoing response to the coronavirus pandemic.
Recorded May 18, 2020 in Yountville (Napa County).
Given increased statewide and local capacity to respond to COVID-19, including stronger preparedness, continued stability in the number of COVID-19 hospitalizations, as well as increased ability to provide personal protective equipment to workers in essential sectors, the California Department of Public Health announced today a new attestation opportunity for counties to move through Stage 2, opening additional sectors of their economy at their own pace. To qualify, counties must attest that hospitalization and test positivity rates are stable or declining; that they have a significant level of preparedness with testing, contact tracing, PPE and hospital surge; and that they have adequate plans related to county-wide containment.
The Department also announced that starting today, some sectors of the economy statewide can begin reopening with modifications, including office spaces and counseling services in places of worship, curbside libraries and drive-in movie theaters.
California began its regional variance process on May 7. Allowing this initial approach to move forward for approximately 10-14 days allowed the state and counties to see the early impact of these modifications to the statewide Stay-at-Home order. Anticipating the need and appropriateness of allowing additional counties to control the focus of restrictions for their own jurisdictions, state public health leaders are now creating opportunities for additional counties to assume more local control in Stage 2 and improve local level preparedness.

Well,
good,
a
good
afternoon,
everybody
and
it's
once
again
great
to
be
out
of
our
state,
Operations
Center
and
out
in
the
community
up
here
in
Northern
California
in
Napa
County
at
mustards
restaurant.
We
are
here
to
update
you
as
we
do
on
a
daily
basis,
as
relates
to
the
current
status
of
those
hospitalized.
Those
in
I
see
is
number
of
deaths
and
the
like
related
to
Cova
19,
but
also
to
make
some
announcements
in
relationship
to
some
additional
modifications
to
our
stay
at
home
order.
B
Let
me
contextualize
as
I
stand
here
today,
where
we
are
in
this
state,
as
it
relates
to
the
broader
trend
lines
and
then
begin
to
unpack,
where
I
believe
we
will
be
going
over
the
course
the
next
week
too,
and
then,
of
course,
over
the
course
of
many
many
months
ahead.
Until
we
have
immunity
until
we
have
a
vaccine,
we
have
24
counties
currently
in
the
state
of
California
that
have
self
attested
certified
with
containment
plans
with
protection
plans
that
we
have
put
on
line
as
regional
variants
to
the
statewide
stay
at
home
order.
B
24
counties
have
self
attested.
We
announced
the
self
attestation
process
on
May
7th
many
counties
began
the
process
of
organizing
and
we
saw
a
first
number
of
counties,
Butte
County
and
others
in
Northern
California
begin
that
process
with
the
concurrence
and
the
technical
assistance
and
council
of
our
state
health
directors.
They
were
able
to
self
a
test
on
the
basis
of
a
number
of
factors
that
were
unique
to
their
county
and
their
region.
It
was
a
recognition
in
California,
that's
larger,
in
population
than
21
States,
combined
that
one
size
does
not
fit
all.
B
None
of
us
naive
about
that.
We
recognize
the
conditions
across
the
state
are
unique
and
distinctive,
depending
where
you
are
across
the
state
and
as
a
consequence,
the
modifications
that
we
made
statewide
we
allowed
for
further
modification
into
what
we
refer
to
as
stage
two
in
these
24
counties.
We
have
been
working
very
collaboratively
and
very
closely
with
their
health
directors,
and
we
have
put
those
self
attestations
up
online
at
arc.
B
Today,
we
want
to
update
you
not
only
on
that
progress,
but
also
update
you
on
the
conversations
we've
been
having
with
other
counties
throughout
the
state
of
California
and
their
health
leaders.
We've
been
tracking
over
the
course
the
last
14
days
by
seeing
a
decline
in
hospitalizations
by
seven
and
a
half
percent
seven
point:
five
percent
decline
over
14
day
period
in
hospitalizations,
statewide,
we've
seen
an
eight
point:
seven
percent
decline
in
the
number
of
ICU
patients
over
a
14
day
period.
B
Last
few
weeks,
we've
also
seen
an
unprecedented
number
of
masks
be
distributed
PPE
throughout
the
state
of
California
tens
of
millions
of
masks.
Now
we've
been
able
to
distribute
just
in
the
last
number
of
weeks,
since
we
have
now
moved
into
this
next
phase
phase
two
of
our
stay-at-home
order.
All
of
these
things
matter,
the
PPE
is
foundational
to
furthering
our
efforts
to
make
meaningful
modifications
to
the
stay-at-home
order.
B
We
were
able
I
mentioned
this
last
Friday
to
distribute
some
11
million
mass
just
on
Friday
to
critical
sectors
of
our
economy,
our
farmworkers,
our
grocery
stores,
to
in-home
support
service
workers,
folks
that
are
on
the
frontlines
across
the
spectrum,
including
childcare
workers
and
the
Department
of
Education.
More
and
more
masks
come
in.
In
fact,
the
inventory
this
morning
was
fifty
six
point.
1
million
masks
that
we
now
have
in
our
possession.
We
were
able
to
distribute
some
46
point.
1
million
of
those
procedure
masks.
This
is
in
addition
to
the
forty
five
point.
B
Five
million
and
95
masks
that
we've
been
able
to
distribute
it's
a
long
way
of
saying
this.
The
PPE
is
coming
in
and
it's
coming
in
and
it's
going
out
as
quickly
as
we
can
get
it
out
and
it's
going
out
into
critical
sectors
of
our
economy.
So
as
we
move
to
modify
our
state
home
order,
having
appropriate
levels
of
PPE
is
foundational
in
terms
of
advancing
that
cause.
We
also
are
significantly
advancing
the
cause
of
increasing
our
testing
capacity
in
the
state
of
California.
B
1.3
million
tests
have
been
conducted
to
date
in
the
state
of
California
57,000
tests,
just
in
the
last
24
hours
were
conducted
in
the
state,
were
making
real
progress
on
our
testing
as
well.
Accordingly,
we
said
it's
foundational
in
order
to
advance
more
meaningful
modifications
that
we
get
a
workforce
together
on
tracing
in
this
state.
As
you
may
recall,
those
of
you
followed
along
some
of
these
announcements.
We
have
a
very
sophisticated
tracing
court
that
is
well
established
in
the
state
of
California
in
every
county.
B
In
this
state
going
back
decades,
we
have
helped
departments
that
have
professional
trained,
tracers
and
that
deal
with
infectious
disease
spread
from
HIV
and
AIDS
to
measles,
TB
and
the
like.
It
was
referenced
just
a
few
weeks
ago
that
23
counties
actively
had
been
participating
in
tracing
kovat
19.
We
had
a
workforce
of
a
little
over
2800
that
were
already
trained
at
the
local
level.
B
We
are
also
looking
trying
to
find
and
hundreds
of
others
in
that
training
capacity,
as
well
as
ultimately
meeting
that
10,000
goal
in
terms
of
the
total
numbers
that
will
be
will
be
advancing
in
the
very
near
term.
So
testing
is
improving
tracing.
We
are
training
and
is
and
deploying
our
tracers
we're
getting
PPP
up
our
PPE
up
and
we're
getting
it
out,
and
we
are
seeing
a
significant,
steady
rate
of
decline
over
a
long
period
of
time
in
the
number
of
people
hospitalized
in
in
our
IC
use.
All
of
those
very
good
trend
lines.
B
So
today
we
want
folks
to
know
that
in
our
additional
modifications,
we
are
moving
forward
to
allow
some
of
the
larger
counties
to
continue
to
make
progress
deeper
into
Phase
two
and
to
do
so
effective
immediately,
but
on
their
own
pace
and
I,
say
effective
immediately,
meaning
the
guidelines
are
out
there,
meaning
the
processes
are
in
place,
but
they
can
go
at
their
own
pace.
We
estimate
roughly
plus
or
minus
again,
it's
a
dynamic
number.
Roughly
53
of
the
58
counties
would
be
eligible
to
move
into
this
phase.
B
Again,
not
everyone
will
move
into
this
phase
and
that
eligibility
is
conditioned
on
the
criteria
that
we're
putting
out
and
you'll
hear
from
dr.
Ghali
in
a
moment.
He'll
talk
more
specifically
about
that
criteria.
The
criteria,
though,
is
foundational
in
this
respect
that
we're
really
starting
to
focus
in
on
the
hot
spots
within
counties,
particularly
in
our
in
and
around
our
skilled
nursing
facilities
and
those
areas
within
the
counties
that
remain
the
most
vulnerable
and
challenging
in
terms
of
protecting
people
and
protecting
the
spread
of
this
virus.
B
We
are
looking
to
advance
some
guidelines
related
to
total
hospitalizations,
no
greater
than
five
percent
increase
over
a
seven-day
period
and
make
sure
that
the
tracing
capacity
is
adequate
to
meet
at
least
needs
of
15
tracers
per
100,000
population
continue
to
make
sure
that
the
positivity
rate-
and
this
is
a
rate
that
I've
brought
up
on
few
occasions
in
the
past
tracks
at
less
than
8%,
and
what
I
mean
if
you
haven't
been
following
the
reference
to
positivity
rates.
That's
the
simple
percentage
of
people,
we're
testing
that
are
tested
positive.
B
So,
as
an
example,
yesterday
we
were
able
to
test
over
57,000
individuals.
There
were
1591
positive
tests,
so
you
have
the
denominator,
the
57
plus
thousand,
and
then
you
have
the
number
of
tests.
You
come
up
with
a
positivity
rate
and
that's
the
rate
that
we
are
tracking
more
and
more
closely.
As
the
testing
significantly
increases.
B
The
positivity
rate
becomes
more
important
than
the
total
number
of
positives
in
many
respects,
and
so
that
rate
is
now
spelled
out
in
the
at
test
stations
as
we
move
forward
as
a
rate
that
we
are
tracking
very
very
closely
and
again,
we
want
to
see
that
rate
below
8%
and
we
want
to
make
sure
people
are
testing,
because
there
was
some
well
I
won't
get
into
too
many
details.
But
it's
not
just
the
total
tests,
because
a
lot
of
counties
may
pull
back
on
their
testing
because
they
don't
want
to
see
positives
again.
B
It's
the
rate
of
positives.
That
is
really
the
focus
from
our
health
perspective.
So
that's
the
that's.
The
framework
today
encouraging
progress
as
we
move
forward
deeper
into
Phase
two
in
the
state
and
I
should
just
note
that
we
are
also
looking
forward
in
the
next
few
weeks
at
a
number
of
significant
milestones
that
are
worthy
of
highlighting
we
expect.
If
we
hold
the
rate
of
transmissions,
we
hold
the
positivity
rate
down.
B
We
continue
to
do
justice
to
the
hospitalization
and
ICU
numbers
that
will
be
making
announcements
statewide,
not
just
with
the
regional
variances
that
would
allow
for
retail
not
just
to
be
picked
up,
but
in-store
retail
to
be
loosened
up.
In
addition
to
that
sporting
events,
pro
sports
in
that
first
week
or
so
of
June
without
spectators,
modifications
and
very
prescriptive
conditions,
also
can
begin
to
move
forward,
and
a
number
of
other
sectors
of
our
economy
will
open
up
again.
B
If
we
hold
these
trend
lines
in
the
next
number
of
weeks,
and
that
includes,
for
example,
getting
a
haircut
which
is
very
meaningful
on
that
that
could
be
done
on
a
regional
variants,
but
it
will
be
able
to
be
advanced.
We
believe
in
the
next
few
weeks,
even
statewide,
and
so
I
want
to
just
go
back
to
that,
because
I
know
it's
a
port
of
one,
the
hair
issues
for
sure
for
some
and
getting
a
haircut.
The
regional
variances
that
we're
announcing
today
will
allow
for
modifications
in
that
space
statewide.
B
We
see
if
these
trend
lines
hold
within
a
couple
weeks
to
broaden
with
meaningful
modification
that
particular
guideline
and
order.
Statewide,
so
I
been
well
I
continue
down
this
path,
but
I'm
sitting
here,
just
seven
feet
away
from
our
doctor.
Dr.
Ghali
who's
been
working
overtime
with
the
regents
on
all
of
these
guidelines,
and
these
modifications
and
I'd
be
remiss
if
I
didn't
ask
him
to
the
bike
where
he
can
talk
more
specifically
about
where
we
are
and
where
we're
going
into
this
next
stage.
C
C
So,
as
the
governor
said,
today's
criteria
that
were
announcing
for
eligibility
to
attest
for
a
county
variance
and
that
is
to
move
through
stage
two
at
a
pace
that
is
faster
than
where
the
state
is
focus
on
three
distinct
things.
First,
the
data
on
the
one
hand,
so
those
two
data
points
are
hospitalizations,
looking
at
no
greater
than
5%
increase
in
hospitalizations
over
the
past
seven
days
on
average
and
for
some
counties
that
have
very
few
hospitalizations
already
we're.
C
Looking
at
no
more
than
20
people
hospitalized
with
Kovan
19
throughout
your
County
in
any
one
of
the
last
14
days,
and
that's
to
account
for
the
fact
that
some
counties
have
very
few
hospitalizations
and
even
the
addition
of
one
or
two
people,
hospitalized
with
kovat
19,
would
represent
a
quite
large
percentage
increase.
So
it's
meeting
that
first
metric
around
hospitalizations.
The
second
one
is
looking
at
having
no
more
than
25
individuals
diagnosed
with
kovat
19
per
hundred
thousand
residents
in
your
County
over
the
past
14
days.
C
It
is
that
one
or
as
the
governor
mentioned,
our
test
positivity
rate
of
less
than
8%
and
I'm
glad
the
governor
went
through
some
description
of
that
test,
positivity
rate,
because
it
is
what
we
are
more
in
we're
focused
on
is
testing
increases.
We
want
to
look
not
just
that.
You
have
a
few
number
of
absolute
cases,
but
that
your
average
number
of
people
who
test
positive
as
you
do.
C
A
hundred
tests,
for
example,
having
fewer
than
eight
positives,
means
both
that
we
understand
the
transmission
of
kovat
nineteen
in
your
community,
but
that
we
also
have
an
understanding
of
the
level
of
testing
that
is
happening
in
the
community
as
well.
So
together,
meeting
the
hospitalization
metric
of
no
more
than
five
percent
increase
on
average
in
the
last
seven
days
and
one
of
the
other
to
the
twenty
five
per
a
hundred
thousand
in
the
past
14
days
of
cases
or
the
less
than
eight
percent
test
positivity.
C
C
Additionally,
we
are
asking
counties
to
attest
that
they
have
ability
to
protect
their
essential
workforce.
We
know
that
protecting
our
grocery
store
workers,
those
who
work
on
public
transportation
and
many
many
others,
including
those
in
the
health
field,
need
to
have
the
protection
in
terms
of
protective
equipment
and
testing
and
requiring
that
counties
can
demonstrate.
The
ability
to
work
with
all
of
those
partners
on
protecting
essential
workers
is
very,
very
important.
C
In
addition,
we
are
asking
counties
to
work
with
their
local
hospital,
coalition's
or
hospitals
themselves
to
demonstrate
the
ability
to
maintain
a
surge
capacity
adequate
to
respond
to
the
needs
of
potentially
a
growing
number
of
individuals
who
need
care
for
kovat
19.
That
requirement.
We
did
a
great
job
over
the
last
many
weeks
and
months,
building
up
our
surge
capacity
across
the
state.
Now
we
need
to
make
sure
that
that's
maintained
as
counties
begin
to
increase
the
number
of
sectors
open
throughout
their
County.
C
The
last
element
of
these
criteria
that
is
very
essential,
is
that
we
work
and
have
counties
demonstrate
the
ability
to
pull
back
if
they
need
to.
If
we
see
a
sudden
number
of
surgeon
in
the
hospital
is
a
shion's
or
a
number
of
increase
in
cases
throughout
a
County,
we
want
to
make
sure
that
the
counties
have
thoughtful
plans
to
be
able
to
potentially
reinstitute
parts
of
the
stay
at
home.
C
Orders
that
we
are
loosening
or
relaxing
today
and
be
prepared
to
meet
the
needs
of
the
residents
in
their
counties
to
make
sure
that
we
can
serve
their
clinical
needs
as
quickly
and
adequately
as
possible
and
that
if
we
need
to
reduce
movement
within
a
County
for
a
period
of
time
to
reduce
the
number
of
cases
that
were
seen,
that
we
have
the
strategies
and
ability
to
do
that.
So
as
the
state.
C
We
are
certainly
looking
forward
to
working
with
our
county
partners
to
make
sure
that
this
can
be
done
as
safe
as
possible
and
especially
as
we
move
into
additional
sectors
being
available
with
the
guidelines
posted
from
the
state
to
open
up.
We
also
want
to
make
sure
that
we
are
getting
continuing
to
receive
data
on
a
very
regular
basis
and
on
our
state
kovat
19
website.
C
We
will
have
links
to
county
specific
data
that
shows
how
each
county
is
doing
as
it
relates
to
cases
and
hospitalizations
and
testing
numbers
so
that
we
can
keep
you
informed
on
your
local
conditions
and
conditions
throughout
the
state.
So
we
continue
to
move
forward
as
a
state
on
the
one
hand,
but
recognizing
that
the
state
is
a
very
big
state
that
different
regions
of
the
state
have
experienced
kovat
19
in
different
ways.
C
Different
counties
have
prepared
differently
over
time
and
acknowledging
that
county
leaders
and
county
health
officers
have
a
very
strong
and
historical
responsibility
for
guiding
their
counties
and
with
the
support
of
the
state.
We
are
confident
that
we
can
begin
to
do
this
in
in
a
safe
and
modulated
way
that
we
can
come
back
to
you
in
the
next
many
weeks
with
additional
sectors
and
the
guidelines
for
those
sectors
to
open
back
up
and
all
the
meanwhile
watching
closely
the
data.
C
C
B
Is
people
can
go
at
their
own
pace
and
we
are
empowering
our
local
health
directors
and
county
officials
that
understand
their
local
communities
and
conditions
better
than
any
of
us?
The
same
time,
we
need
to
hold
all
of
ourselves
to
account
transparency,
real
accountability
in
terms
of
the
application
and
the
implementation
of
these
rules
and
regulations.
We've
been
saying
this
now
for
many
many
weeks.
This
is
a
dynamic
period
that
we're
in
it's
an
interim
period.
It's
not
an
ideological
one,
meaning
we
are
not
locked
in
to
pre
suppose
anything.
B
We
are
open
argument,
we're
interested
in
evidence
and
we
are
engaged
in
two-way
conversations.
All
up
and
down
the
state.
I
know
this
has
been
frustrating
for
many
people.
They
want
to
see
us
move
more
quickly.
Others
very
concerned
that
in
some
respects
they
feel
maybe
we're
moving
a
little
too
quickly
and
as
a
respect
as
I
express
the
Localism
frame.
Let
me
also
respect
that
decision-making
at
the
local
level.
The
bay
area
is
in
a
different
position
than
some
parts
of
the
state.
B
La
County
is
in
a
different
position
than
other
parts
of
the
state
they
can
move
at
their
own
pace
based
upon
their
own
local
conditions,
but
now
we
are
broadening
the
pace
to
which
people
can
enter
in
to
Phase
two
and
begin
the
process
of
making
subsequent
decisions
to
move
more
broadly
into
other
sectors
of
our
society.
I
should
note
that
we
are
also
working
with
faith-based
leaders
and
I
want
to
just
express
my
deep
admiration
to
the
faith
community
and
the
need
and
desire
to
know
when
their
congregants
congregants
could
start
once
again.
B
Coming
back
to
the
pews
coming
back
together,
I
will
note
that
the
order
that
we
put
out
today
will
allow
for
counseling
services
and
will
allow
for
churches
to
meet
more
broadly
as
offices,
but
for
the
congregants.
That's
a
few
weeks
away,
not
months
weeks
if
everything
holds,
and
so
I
just
want
people
to
know
that
we
are
encouraged
by
the
progress,
and
the
only
thing
that
will
set
us
back
is
that
we
move
too
quickly
and
no
longer
practice.
B
The
social
distancing,
the
physical
distancing,
got
us
so
far
together
and
it
is
incumbent
upon
all
of
us
to
listen
to
our
local
health
directors
to
take
seriously
these
statewide
orders.
Despite
again
I
recognize
the
cabin
fever
and
the
need
and
desire.
So
many
people
have
to
quote
unquote,
get
back
to
work,
but
there
be
no
greater
mistake
than
us
dream
of
regretting
that
we
move
too
quickly
and
there
was
a
setback
that
setback
not
only
our
local
community
but
more
broadly,
the
entire
state
of
California.
B
So
I
just
want
to
encourage
people
to
continue
to
hold
the
line,
continue
to
move
as
we
are
moving
deliberatively
in
a
phased
approach,
looking
always
at
those
indicators
as
our
guidance
and
the
data
and
public
health
as
the
prerequisite
to
moving
forward
to
more
meaningful
modifications
of
our
stay
at
home
order.
But
this
is
an
important
period
of
time.
We're
moving
into
important
a
few
weeks
ahead
of
us
and
we're
going
to
start
seeing
a
lot
more
activity.
Let's
just
make
sure
we
do
it
thoughtfully
and
very
very
strategically.
B
To
that
end,
I
want
to
just
give
you
update
in
terms
of
what
guys
our
thoughts
and
our
strategies
and,
once
again
those
are
the
issues
that
I
bring
up
on
a
daily
basis.
Hospitalizations
and
I
see.
Yous
I
gave
you
the
trendline
over
the
last
two
weeks
in
those
categories:
seven
and
a
half
percent
decline
in
hospitalizations
over
a
two-week
period.
Eight
point:
seven
percent
and
I
see
yous
over
two
week
period,
both
the
hospitalization
rate
and
the
ICU
rates
over
the
last
24
hours
went
up
modestly
0.4
percent
and
point
seven
percent.
B
Respectfully
it
gives
you
a
sense
again:
stability,
modest
decline,
but
with
those
tracks
over
the
course
last
few
weeks
and
the
capacity
within
our
hospital
system
to
address
the
surge
and
amount
of
PPE
that
we're
providing,
including
the
number
of
tests
that
identified
1591
additional
positives.
We
feel
we
are
well
positioned
to
move
in
to
this
next
phase
more
robustly
than
we
have
to
date.
Accordingly,
the
number
that
is
the
most
tragic
and
most
difficult
on
a
daily
basis
to
express
the
number
of
lives
lost.
Tragically,
we
lost
41
lives
over
the
last
24
hours.
B
It's
still
ubiquitous,
it's
still
invisible,
but
it's
made
very
visible
in
the
lives
of
those
that
have
been
torn
asunder
because
of
loss
of
a
loved
one
and
a
family
member,
and
so
I
need
again
express
our
condolences
and
our
heart
goes
out
to
each
and
every
one
of
those
families
that
once
again
lost
a
loved
one
to
the
deadliness
of
this
virus.
I
want
to
just
before
I
open
it
up
to
questions.
B
B
But
part
of
that
reset
was
targeting
our
testing
as
well,
and
that's
why
I
want
to
encourage
you
to
go
to
the
Cova
19
dot,
CA
gov
website,
kovat,
19,
CA,
gov,
website
and
type
in
your
zip
code.
Your
address
and
determine
the
closest
testing
site
in
your
community.
More
sites
are
going
up
on
a
weekly
basis,
more
and
more
rural
sites
and
enter
city
sites
Optim
serve.
We
announced
the
expansion
of
that
partnership
from
80
sites
to
additional
six
sites,
86
total
up
in
Mendocino
and
lake
as
examples
again.
B
These
are
starting
to
roll
out
and
we
encourage
you
to
make
a
reservation
and
avail
yourself
to
free
testing
free
testing
across
the
state
of
California.
Before
you
go
out
of
pocket
on
a
test.
Go
to
that
Cove
in
nineteen
CA.
Gov
website
and
avail
yourself
to
these
community
test
sites
and
these
other
test
sites
where
that
that
cost
should
not
be
a
factor
with
that.
We
are
happy
to
factor
any
of
the
questions
and
concerns
that
are
raised
today
and
now
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
Hi.
D
Governor
I'm
Doug,
sovereign
political
reporter
at
Casey,
BS
Radio
in
San,
Francisco
and
I'm.
The
pool
reporter
today
asking
questions
on
behalf
of
my
colleagues
around
the
state
and
I
suppose
the
nation
I
just
want
to
ask.
First
of
all,
so
you
said
you
think
53
of
the
58
counties
would
qualify
under
these
relaxed
restrictions
to
move
forward
with
the
variance
which
five
do
you
think
wouldn't
might
not
I'm.
That's.
B
It's
not
surprising,
but
there
are
concerns
as
an
example
in
Tulare
County,
the
skilled
nursing
facilities
in
Kings
County
related
to
meat,
packing
issues
that
were
still
dressing,
Ella
in
LA
County,
more
broadly
and
again,
I
want
to
reinforce
that
just
because
we're
creating
the
capacity
and
the
availability
to
move
into
Phase
two
doesn't
mean
that
every
county
is
ready,
LA
County.
As
an
example
I.
B
D
B
The
fundamental
criteria
of
local
conditions
that
drive
those
decisions
I
think
make
it
almost
essential
that
we
move
into
this
on
a
regional
basis,
and
that's
why
many
many
weeks
ago,
we
announced
our
intention
to
do
that
on
May,
7th
and
24
counties
now
have
self
attested
to
have
containment
plans
and
protection
plans
in
place,
and
with
this
modification,
Moore
was
able
to
do
the
same
based
upon
again
local
conditions.
Tarun.
D
Luna
of
the
Los
Angeles
Times
would
like
to
know,
while
this
is
happening,
more
businesses
opening
across
the
state
each
day,
the
number
of
infections
is
at
nearly
80,000
up
from
50,000
on
May
1st.
According
to
state
numbers,
we
still
don't
have
a
vaccine
or
herd
immunity
and
testing
is
still
limited
in
some
areas.
What
is
fundamentally
changed
about
the
spread
of
the
virus
that
makes
you
believe
it
is
safe
now
to
ease
these
restrictions.
Well,.
B
I
mentioned
and
I'll
repeat
it
that
we
have
seen
a
14
day
trend
line
down
in
hospitalizations
a
14
day
trend
line
down
in
the
number
of
ICU
patients.
We
are
seeing
our
positive
rate
with
substantial
increase.
Remember
it
was
a
little.
Over
a
month
ago
we
were
averaging
2,000
tests
a
day,
I
mentioned
just
yesterday.
B
It
was
in
the
higher
end,
but
nonetheless,
we
tested
over
57,000
people
and
just
one
day
the
positivity
rate
in
terms
of
the
total
number
of
people
infected,
continues
to
be
in
that
range
of
stable
I
mentioned
on
May
7th
that
we
will
be
looking
on
a
daily
basis.
The
stability
of
those
numbers
across
the
spectrum
and,
moreover,
our
capacity
to
meet,
needs.
Remember
the
whole
purpose
of
the
stay
at
home
order
was
to
prepare
and
to
respond.
B
B
I
said
that
we
are
looking
both
at
the
total
number
of
positives
and
we're
looking
at
the
positivity
rate
we
are
introducing
have
been
for
a
few
weeks,
the
positivity
rate.
As
a
point
of
consideration,
we
are
not
excluding
the
total
number
from
consideration
I
again,
every
single
day
at
noon
announced
the
total
number
of
positive
cases,
but
we
are
making
the
point.
B
That's
an
important
point,
as
we
exponentially
increase
again
from
2000
to
now
averaging
over
40,000
a
day
57,000
yesterday
tests
that
it's
good
to
see
the
knowable
number
of
positive
tests
still
within
a
range,
even
though
the
total
number
the
denominator
tests
is
substantially
increased,
so
positivity
rate
is
an
important
one.
There
was
there
were
some
conversation.
There
was
some
anxiety
with
health
officials
around
some
communities
that
may
not
be
willing
to
test
based
on
the
old
criteria
and
then
based
upon
those
conversations
with
our
health
professionals.
I
help
directors,
dr.
B
D
A
few
people
are
asking
about
haircuts
I
guess
we're
all
getting
a
bit
shaggy
but
well
credit
Kathleen
row
name
with
AP
for
this
she
would
like
to
know.
Can
you
be
more
specific
on
moving
further
in
phase
2
into
shopping
in
stores
and
getting
haircuts
can
counties
that
get
the
the
variances
under
the
new
rules?
Do
that
now,
or
is
that
still
a
few
weeks
away,
though,.
B
D
B
I
mentioned
a
moment
ago
and
all
opportunity
to
reinforce
it.
Yet
again,
we
are
within
a
few
weeks
of
some
meaningful
modifications,
as
it
relates
to
houses
of
worship
working
with
the
faith-based
community.
Today
we
made
some
progress
on
counseling
services
and
clarifying
counseling
as
an
appropriate
advancement
under
the
stay
at
home
order
for
houses
of
worship,
as
well
as
allowing
clergy
to
congregate
together,
as
you
would
otherwise,
with
these
office
guidelines
that
have
been
modified,
but
as
it
relates
to
congregants
coming
back
into
the
pews
we're
a
few
weeks
away.
D
Marinucci
of
Politico
points
out
that
increasing
studies
show
that
the
outdoors
is
healthier
for
Californians
and
presents
less
risk
of
infection.
She'd
like
to
know
when
will
you
open
up
state
parks,
parking
lots
since
many
people
are
being
forced
to
park
along
highways,
this
virtually
bars
access
for
disabled
and
the
elderly?
Isn't
it
time
to
open
up
state
park
parking.
B
D
B
Was
clear
in
my
budget
presentation
last
week
that
we
are
looking
to
engage
the
legislature
constituents
all
across
the
state,
the
people,
the
state
of
California,
make
a
determination
as
to
what
we
will
support
and
what
we
can
do
together
to
advance
our
collective
cause
as
a
state
on
the
November
ballot
that
we're
not
wedded
to
any
ideas
at
this
moment
that
all
things
are
on
the
table.
It's
one
of
many
issues
that
are
likely
to
be
presented
to
the
voters
in
November.
Each
issue
connects
to
other
issues.
All
of
these
things.
D
One
asked
by
multiple
people:
you
told
Jake
Tapper
yesterday
that
if
California
doesn't
get
the
federal
relief
it
needs
for
coronavirus,
fire
and
police
would
be
the
first
to
get
cut.
I
know
that's
up
to
counties
and
cities,
but
but
among
the
questions,
asked
is
why
wouldn't
sending
cash
to
undocumented
workers
paying
for
homeless,
to
stay
in
hotel
rooms
etc
be
cut
before
for.
B
A
magnitude
of
those
budgets
specifically
is
relates
to
providing
support
for
people,
regardless
their
immigration
status.
Many
that
are
been
perhaps
the
most
essential
of
essential
service
providers,
as
relates
to
our
food
delivery
in
this
state
that
have
kept
this
country
moving.
That's
de
minimis
compared
to
the
costs
ultimately
associated
with
personnel.
B
As
a
former
county
mayor
I,
know
firsthand
the
pain
of
those
budget
cuts
and
Oh
8
Oh,
9,
10,
11,
12
and
those
were
felt
at
the
county
and
local
level
disproportionately
and
the
reality
is,
and
those
that
that
know
a
little
bit
about
the
local
government
responsibilities
know
that
police
and
fire
disproportionately
our
responsibility
of
local
government.
The
vast
majority
of
those
budgets
are
salaries
and
personnel
related,
and
this
pressure
that
will
be
borne
on
those
County
budgets.
B
The
magnitude
is
such
that
one
should
not
be
surprised
that
police
officers
and
firefighters
other
essential
workers
will
likely
be
those
in
line
to
be
cut.
No
one
should
be
surprised
by
that,
but
I
am
not
here
for
any,
by
any
stretch
of
imagination,
to
suggest
or
either
to
allow
the
implication
that
somehow
we're
pitting
one
group
against
another.
The
magnitude
of
these
budgets
dominantly
is
personnel
at
the
county
and
city
levels.
Final.
D
B
That's
deep
conditions,
deep
modifications,
deep
stipulations
in
terms
of
protecting
not
only
the
players
but
more
broadly
their
support
staff.
Again
we're
not
talking
about
fans
in
this
respect.
We're
just
talking
about
the
opportunity
to
begin
to
work
with
county
health
directors
and
work
with
the
state
to
begin
the
process
of
organizing
around
what
that
may
or
may
not
look
like,
and
so
we've
been
moving
in
that
direction.
B
As
I
noted
on
at
least
two
or
three
occasions
very
publicly,
we've
been
talking
with
League
representatives
from
all
the
major
league
sports
and
working
with
our
collaborative
through
the
Western
Governors
Association
others
comparing
and
contrasting
best
practices
what's
happening
in
number
of
other
states
that
have
professional
sports
in
their
states,
and
we
are
looking
to
advance
those
conversations
now
not
just
more
publicly
but
advance
them
at
a
county
level
working
with
county
health
officials
to
put
out
those
guidelines
on
what
that
may
or
may
not.
Look
like
well
with
that.
B
I
want
to
just
thank
everybody
for
their
time
and
attention.
I
want
to
thank
dr.
Ghali
and
his
team
for
all
their
hard
work
over
the
course
of
last
few
weeks,
working
with
county
health
officials
in
parts
of
the
state,
large
and
small,
to
come
up
with
these
new
guidelines.
This
new
attestation
process,
this
new
self
certification
process
that
we
think
will
continue
to
provide
for
meaningful
modifications
that
will
ultimately
manifest
in
more
people
getting
back
to
work,
more
people
having
more
opportunities
to
go
to
places
like
mustards
Grill
up
here
in
Napa
and
I.
B
Just
want
to
thank
all
the
business
leaders,
including
the
leadership
and
ownership
here
at
mustards.
There's
a
reason
we're
here
and
that's
the
spirit
of
collaboration
and
cooperation.
It's
just
one
of
many
businesses,
hundreds
of
thousands
of
businesses
across
the
state
that
will
benefit
from
the
announcement
here
today
and
I
can't
impress
upon
all
of
us
watching
more
as
we
move
into
this
face.
B
This
notion
of
responsibility
is
I,
think
foundational
responsibilities
cross
the
spectrum
individual
responsibility
to
protect
yourself
and
to
protect
your
loved
ones,
and
your
community
business
responsibilities,
protect
their
employees
and
to
make
sure
that
those
customers
are
being
protected.
At
the
same
time,
for
all
of
us
in
the
government
level,
governmental
level,
local,
regional
state
and
federal
to
support
businesses
as
well
as
they
go
through
this
devastating
and
trying
time
to
make
sure
that
they
have
the
support
that
they
deserve
and
they
need
across
the
spectrum.
B
Meaning
the
moment
as
we
have
in
this
state
continue
do
what
you
can
listen
to
those
local
health
directors
wear
face
coverings
when
you
can't
otherwise
practice
physical
distancing
and
do
your
best
to
do
more
and
do
better
to
reach
out
to
your
loved
ones,
as
we
reach
out
to
you
and
others
to
just
again
express
gratitude,
and
thanks
for
all
the
work
you've
done
today
to
get
us
to
this
point
here
in
the
state
of
California.
Take
care.
Everybody.
