From YouTube: Governor Newsom's COVID-19 Update - April 6, 2020

Description

Governor Gavin Newsom announces that California is making progress in securing additional beds to treat COVID-19 patients and relieve pressure on the healthcare delivery system. California has already secured up to 4,613 additional beds at alternate care sites and shuttered hospitals to care for an anticipated surge in COVID-19 patients, with even more capacity being finalized.

The state has aggressively planned for a surge in hospitalizations in the coming weeks and aims to add 50,000 beds to our existing hospital capacity of near 75,000 beds. At least 60 percent of these additional beds, or 30,000, will come from within existing hospitals, and the state will secure the remaining beds, up to 20,000.
