From YouTube: Governor Newsom's COVID-19 Update - July 24, 2020
Description
Governor Gavin Newsom provides an update on the COVID-19 outbreak in California.
Building on previous actions to protect California’s front-line workforce, Governor Gavin Newsom today announced a host of new safeguards for California workers who face the greatest risk of COVID-19. In addition to support for workers, including agricultural and farmworkers, to isolate and quarantine, Governor Newsom unveiled a robust education campaign for workers and employers. He also committed to working with the Legislature and key stakeholders to expand critical protections like paid sick leave.
Helping Workers Isolate and Quarantine
Isolation and quarantine are proven public health interventions fundamental to reducing COVID-19 transmission. Many who contract COVID-19 have mild to moderate symptoms, do not require hospitalization, and can isolate at home. Providing safe, suitable places for isolation outside a home can help stop the spread to other household members. This is especially important for people who live in multigenerational households.
The state will allocate existing federal funds to local public health departments and community-based organizations to assist with supportive services for isolation and quarantine.
A new program, Housing for the Harvest, provides safe, temporary isolation spaces for agricultural and farmworkers who test positive or were exposed to the virus, which limits the risk of spreading COVID-19 to their coworkers or households. This program will operate in partnership with counties and local partners in the Central Valley, Central Coast, and Imperial Valley – the regions with the highest number of agricultural workers.
These efforts build on the state’s experience with already-established isolation programs, including Hotels for Health Care Workers serving COVID-19 positive patients and Project Roomkey, the non-congregate shelter program for COVID-19 positive, exposed or vulnerable homeless Californians.
Outreach and Education
Building on California’s public awareness campaign to #WearAMask and #StoptheSpread, the campaign will expand its reach to employers, to workers and to their families to inform them of ways they can break the cycle of spread and reduce their risk for COVID-19 at work, at home, and in their community. This effort will leverage the public service media campaign, and build a more comprehensive community engagement strategy to include work with community-based organizations, promotoras, labor unions and worker advocacy groups to directly reach workers.
Support for Employees
Governor Newsom will work with the Legislature to build on previous executive action and advance worker protections. Expanded paid sick leave will provide workers financial security so they are able to stay home when sick. Similarly, workers’ compensation access helps ensure that front-line workers can quarantine and stay home from work when ill.
Employer Resources
As California businesses work to reopen, a new Employer Playbook released today will guide them on how to provide a clean environment for workers and customers to reduce risk. Proactive education efforts led by the Labor and Workforce Development Agency (LWDA) will provide information and support to businesses to help them come into and stay in compliance, including technical assistance and a model training program. Additionally, the state will provide employers information to share with their workers regarding health insurers’ COVID-19 testing coverage and eligibility requirements.
Strategic Enforcement
Cal/OSHA and the Labor Commissioner’s Office have strategically targeted investigations in high-risk industries, where the state has seen the most workplace outbreaks. Expedited enforcement authority and advanced reporting of health and safety hazards at work will improve enforcement outcomes. Requiring employers to report outbreaks to their local health departments will help track county transmission. Governor Newsom will work with the Legislature to establish this authority.

Coronavirus
well
good
afternoon.
I
wanted
to
update
folks
today
on
some
trends
that
are
self-evident
to
many,
but
perhaps
not
enough,
and
that
is
the
relationship
of
this
virus
to
specific
and
particular
populations
in
the
state
of
california
that
are
being
disproportionately
impacted
by
the
spread
of
covet
19..
We've
talked
a
lot
over
the
course.
C
Where
extended
family
members
come
over,
we
may
begin
by
wearing
our
face
coverings,
but
within
an
hour
or
two
as
we
get
to
the
cooler
to
have
a
drink
eat
some
food.
The
masks
now
are
put
aside,
the
kids
start
congregating
and
we
put
ourselves
in
a
position
where
it's
more,
not
less
likely
that
we'll
see
an
increase
in
the
spread
in
the
transmission
of
the
virus.
Multi-Generational
households
in
particular
are
vulnerable,
particularly
from
an
age
cohort
perspective
to
the
ravages
of
this
virus.
C
In
those
types
of
environments,
we've
talked
a
lot
about
the
challenges
in
congregate,
facilities,
congregate,
settings
from
homeless,
shelters
to
skilled
nursing
facilities,
residential
care,
adult
daycare
facilities
throughout
the
state
of
california
and
clearly,
in
our
corrections
institution,
not
only
at
the
state
level,
but
at
the
county
level
as
well.
Not
enough
focus
candidly
has
been
placed
on
essential
workers
in
this
state
and
for
us
to
be
able
to
be
successful
in
terms
of
stopping
the
spread
of
cobit
19
extinguishing
cobit
19,
which
we
will
do.
C
It
depends
on
our
ability
to
keep
our
essential
workers
safe.
Who
are
these
essential
workers?
This
slide,
I
think,
is
profoundly
important
and
I
hope
you'll
take
a
good
look
at
it.
Those
that
may
be
listening
that
don't
have
the
benefit
of
the
slide,
we're
putting
up
it's
self-evident
to
many
people
that
we
demanded,
even
with
our
stay-at-home
order,
certain
sectors
of
our
economy
to
remain
open.
We
deemed
them
essential,
grocery
stores,
food
delivery,
truck
driving
warehousing
logistics,
the
foundational
principles
of
any
free
society.
C
Look
at
farm
workers
that
may
not
surprise
many
people,
93
percent
of
that
workforce.
I
mean
the
latinx
latino
community,
but
look
at
construction,
laborers,
look
at
the
cooks
and
the
food
preparation
workers.
Look
at
our
critical
workforce,
our
truck
drivers
and
cashiers
over
half
of
the
cashiers
in
the
state
are
represented
in
the
latino
demographic
and
that's
the
community
that
increasingly
and
disproportionately
is
being
impacted
not
only
by
the
spread
of
the
virus,
but
the
mortality
related
to
the
spread
of
the
virus.
C
It's
not
exclusive
again,
I'm
not
suggesting
by
any
stretch
it's
just
exclusive
to
one
segment
of
our
society.
It
crosses
all
segments
of
society,
essential
workers,
but
it
is
disproportionate,
and
so
when
people
ask,
as
they
often
do,
where
are
we
seeing
the
spread?
This
is
where
we're
seeing
the
spread
essential
workforce
disproportionately
represented
by
the
latino
latinx
community,
and
that
slide,
I
think,
only
reinforces
and
underscores
the
imperative
of
us
to
increase
and
build
on
the
work.
C
We've
done,
increase
the
effort
and
target
our
acuity
of
focus
in
terms
of
protecting
these
essential
workers
that
we
have
foundationally
come
to
rely
on,
even
as
we
pull
back
some
of
the
modifications
we
made
in
stay-at-home
order.
This
essential
workforce
remains
the
bedrock,
the
backbone
of
those
that
are
providing
foundational
fundamental
services
to
the
state
of
california.
So
here's
what
we're
announcing
today
is
additional
worker
safeguards
to
protect
this
workforce,
to
focus
again
always
on
preventative
measures,
to
focus
on
helping
support.
C
Our
employers
that
have
been
overwhelmingly
well
they've
been
overwhelmingly
supportive
of
these
efforts,
and
we
want
to
continue
to
work
in
the
spirit
of
collaboration
and
partnership
with
our
employer
community
to
educate
not
only
employers,
large
and
small,
but
to
help
them
educate
employees
as
well,
and
we
want
to
extend
some
longer
lasting
workers
protections.
I
referenced
a
moment
ago,
some
of
the
previous
work
we
had
done
to
support
our
essential
workers.
We
want
to
build
on
some
of
that
previous
work.
C
C
Let's
talk
about
the
preventative
measures
foundationally,
the
most
important
thing
we
can
do
is
if
someone
is
sick
or
feeling
sick
or
has
been
exposed
to
the
virus,
we've
got
to
give
them
the
supports
where
they
have
the
ability
to
isolate
the
ability,
in
some
cases,
to
quarantine
that
may
be
easy
in
certain
segments
of
society.
Certain
cohorts
that
have
the
resources
maybe
have
the
space
household
space
may
have.
C
The
capacity
to
you
know
go
to
a
second
home,
and
maybe
one
instance,
or
even
to
expand
part
of
their
personal
property
and
segment
it
off
from
other
members,
families
others
are
stacked
on
top
of
each
other.
Three
four
people
live
in
some
cases,
quite
literally
in
the
same
room.
So
never
forget
a
family.
In
san
francisco,
I
visited
at
a
single
room,
occupancy
hotel
in
the
tenderloin
went
in
to
the
room,
and
there
were
only
beds
on
the
floor.
There
was
no
space
that
wasn't
filled
with
a
bed.
C
There
was
literally
eight
people
living
and
less
than
a
hundred
square
feet,
stacked
up,
quite
literally
on
top
and
next
to
each
other.
A
family
just
reinforces
the
exposure
in
that
instance.
What
are
we
doing
for
those
folks
that
are
out
there
as
bus
drivers
and
folks
out
there
as
truck
drivers?
Folks,
that
case
may
have
been
working
at
a
grocery
store
if
they
are
exposed
or
sick,
we
need
to
ensure
that
they
can
isolate
and
they
can
quarantine.
So
today
we
are
announcing
some
new
efforts,
additional
efforts.
In
this
space.
C
We
had
some
temporary
efforts
and
in
terms
of
providing
supports
for
hotel
rooms,
subsidies
and
the
like,
we
want
to
expand
that
talked
a
lot
about
project
room
key
point
of
pride
as
it
relates
to
the
work
we've
done
for
homeless.
We
want
to
build
on
the
room
key
model
and
we
want
to
extend
it
to
those
that
may
need
that
support
to
be
isolated
and
quarantined,
so
we're
opening
up
a
portfolio
and
identifying
additional
assets
within
that
portfolio
to
provide
expanded
opportunities
in
that
space,
more
resources
in
that
space.
C
We
have
to
do
more
to
support
some
626
thousand
crop
workers
that
come
in
this
state
and
live
here
year
round
in
the
state
of
california,
626
000
crop
workers
in
the
state.
You
have
a
lot
of
temporary
housing
as
relates
to
the
seasonal
workforce,
done
a
lot
down
in
monterey,
increasingly
now
not
just
on
the
california
central
coast,
but
now
in
california,
central
valley.
C
We
call
home
here
california,
if
you
go
to
that
store,
and
you
see
that
abundance,
don't
forget
the
folks
that
made
sure
to
make
that
abundance
available
to
you,
and
we
have
to
make
sure
that
we
have
an
abundant
mindset
in
terms
of
helping
support
these
workers
and
make
sure
that
they're
safe
they're
healthy
because
of
the
essential
nature
of
their
incredible
contribution
to
the
state
and
our
nation.
Accordingly,
we
need
to
build
a
public
awareness
campaign.
We've
done
a
lot
with
our
mask
campaign.
We've
done
a
lot
of
psa
campaigns
in
the
past.
C
Going
back.
Many
many
months
significantly
increased
our
digital
radio
and
television
ads.
You
may
be
seeing
some
of
them
up
related
to
masks.
Now
we
want
to
increase
that
campaign
to
reach
more
employers
workers,
as
well
as
families,
a
know.
Your
rights
campaign
basically
educate
individuals
about
guidelines
about
what
we've
been
putting
out
in
terms
of
sectors
and
how
to
keep
people,
health,
healthy
and
safe.
C
I
recognize
that,
and
we
have
a
responsibility
to
now
really
call
that
out
and
do
more
in
this
space
and
that's
exactly
what
we'll
be
doing
building
on
the
existing
public
awareness
campaign,
but
a
whole
new
scale.
We've
been
talking
to
legislative
leaders
about
some
support.
We've
obviously
generated
I've
made
this
point
on
many
occasions.
A
lot
of
philanthropic
support
in
this
effort,
as
well
as
federal
support
in
this
effort,
we're
now
going
to
step
up
those
efforts
in
a
much
more
targeted
and
a
much
more
focused
way.
C
C
Be
able
to
share
that
information.
We're
also
looking
at
best
practices
sharing
those
best
practices
and,
like
I
want
to
thank
my
jobs
and
economic
recovery
task
force.
They've
been
so
instrumental
for
months,
helping
us
work,
because
it's
truly
a
representative
group
of
business
leaders
on
helping
us
with
the
guidance,
but
they
also
made
a
point
which
I
agreed
with
and
now
we're
socializing
with
you
that
we
can
do
more
to
simplify
that
handbook
that
guidance
and
offer
more
guidance
around
best
practices.
C
C
We're
moving
forward
with
advancing
those,
but
one
of
the
most
critical
is
the
fact
that
health
plans
now
have
responsibility
to
pick
up
costs
associated
with
testing
for
employees,
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
becomes
more
well
more
well.
We
want
to
see
that
more
universal
in
terms
of
its
application,
but
we
also
need
to
educate
folks
on
some
of
those
new
strategies
and
new
opportunities
in
terms
of
testing.
C
So
that's
the
purpose
of
the
handbook
that
we're
putting
out
today
and
new
tutorials
and
q
and
a's
that
we'll
be
putting
out
to
to
build
and
support
the
same.
It
relates
to
the
efforts
to
ensure
more
long-lasting
protections.
We
want
to
work,
as
this
slide
explains,
to
expand
our
workers
protections
and
build
on
that.
Those
existing
executive
orders
that
I
referenced,
but
here's
the
difference.
This
time
we
have
gaps
in
our
paid
sick
leave
in
the
state
of
california.
C
I'll
give
you
just
four
examples,
specifically
health
care
workers,
front
line
well,
first
responders,
those
where
you
have
big
critical
outbreaks
and
employers,
500
employees
or
more
were
not
included
in
the
federal
supports.
That's
a
gap
in
the
sick
leave
space.
Now
we
closed
that
gap
a
few
weeks
ago
with
our
workers,
comp
and
sick
leave
executive
orders,
but
those
are
due
to
expire.
We've
had
great
conversations
with
the
legislature
legislative
leaders,
there's
been
a
number
of
legislators
that
have
introduced
legislation
to
codify
some
of
what
we
put
out
in
the
executive
orders.
C
Others
want
to
go
further.
Some
want
to,
you
know,
offer
their
own
perspective
and
we're
very
grateful
for
that
leadership
and
we've
been
having
some
wonderful
conversations
with
the
leadership
of
both
the
assembly
and
the
state
senate,
and
we
are
committed
to
a
process
have
been
and
continue
to
be,
and
we
want
to
now
make
this
more
abundantly
clear,
more
publicly
to
move
quickly
now
to
strengthen
through
this
legislative
partnership,
our
paid
sick
leave,
as
well
as
our
workers
comp
for
at-risk
workers.
C
Again,
we
want
to
open
the
economy
quickly,
people
that
are
feeling
sick
people
that
may
be
sick.
We
don't
want
them
going
to
work
and
infecting
other
people
having
a
big
outbreak
we're
now
a
factory
or
meat
processing
plant
fill
in
the
blank.
Any
business
has
to
shut
down
a
bar
restaurant,
even
if
they're
doing
or
bars
clothes,
but
restaurants,
doing
even
outdoor
dining.
C
If
you
know
the
chef
comes
in
not
feeling
well
or
the
sous
chef
dishwash,
whoever
bus
boys,
you
want
to
give
them
the
protection
so
that
you
can
be
protected
and
customers
can
be
protected.
That's
why
the
workers
comp
is
so
foundational
in
any
economic
recovery
in
the
state.
This
is
truly
when
we're
all
in
it
together.
Employer
employee
consumers,
the
public
generally.
C
So
these
are
critical
in
terms
of
protections
for
economic
vibrancy,
our
economic
recovery
and
for
protecting
essential
workers,
and
so
we're
going
to
be
aggressively
engaged
in
an
effort
and
building
on
some
legislation
that
has
been
introduced
and
building
on
some
of
the
work.
The
already
did
on
the
executive
orders
as
it
relates
to
workers,
comp
and
paid
sick
leave
and
filling
in
those
gaps
that
were
not
provided
by
the
federal
government.
We're
also
going
to
be
a
little
more
strategic.
We
talk
a
lot
about
enforcement
again
for
me
enforcement.
C
It's
not
about
being
punitive.
It's
about
compliance,
and
I
say
that
because
I
mean
that
this
is
not
ready
fire
aim,
it's
ready
aim
fire.
We
want
to
support
people
coming
into
compliance
and
same
time
you
got
to
call
out
bad
actors,
people
that
simply
dismiss
don't
care
for
whatever
reason
or
just
don't
agree.
C
I
respect
people's
differences
of
opinion,
but
when
it
comes
to
impacting
your
health
and
the
health
of
our
economy
in
the
medium
and
long
term
terms
our
ability
to
reopen
by
suppressing
the
transmission
of
the
virus,
we
have
to
be
a
little
bit
more
targeted
and
so
we're
going
to
be
doing
some
more
strategic
enforcement
of
our
labor
laws
and
we've
got
a
series
of
very
specific
strategies
that
we'll
be
putting
out
waiving
some
of
the
timelines.
You
know
here's
the
great
reality.
C
Here's
a
mystery
to
me
may
not
be
for
others,
but
you
may
not
be
as
familiar
with
it
either
and
that
is,
it
could
take
six
plus
months
to
move
an
enforcement
action
well,
six
months
in
the
midst
of
a
pandemic,
how
many
people
can
be
exposed
to
this
virus?
How
many
people's
lives
could
be
quite
literally
put
at
risk,
so
we've
got
to
constrain
that
timeline,
but
again,
in
the
spirit
of
an
open
hand.
Not
a
closed
fist
and
that's
foundational
and
so
to
all
the
business
leaders
out
there
trust
me.
C
I
hear
you
we're
not
trying
to
target
enforcement
to
just
be
punitive,
but
we
are
trying
to
deal
with
the
time
manner
and
place
concerns.
We
have
around
extinguishing
this
virus
as
quickly
as
we
can
and
the
need
to
go
after
folks
that
make
some
members
in
certain
industries
look
bad
when
they
may
be
the
exception,
certainly
not
the
rule,
but
we've
got
to
got
to
hold
some
of
those
folks
to
a
higher
level
of
expectation
and
cooperation
and
the
extent
accountability
as
well.
C
One
way
we
can
improve
accountability
is
focusing
on
strengthening
our
employer
reporting
of
outbreaks,
we're
also
working
with
the
legislature
on
this.
It
is
an
interesting
fact:
you
don't
have
a
requirement
as
an
employer
to
connect
to
your
local
health
officer
if
you've
had
an
outbreak
in
your
business.
C
Often
that
comes
circuitously
may
take
some
time,
there's
a
delay
and
that
hurts
our
efforts
to
go
in
and
isolate
quarantine,
trace
those
contacts
and
potentially
help
support
expansion
of
testing.
So
we
think
that
strengthening
of
employer
reporting
is
also
very,
very
important
in
this
environment
as
well.
C
But
speaking
of
updating,
we
do
on
a
consistent
basis,
update
you
on
the
total
case
numbers
as
it
relates
to
covet
19..
We
tested
over
137
000
people
yesterday
close
to
138
000
people.
Yesterday,
when
we
conducted
those
tests,
9718
individuals
tested
positive
for
coba
19..
As
I
said,
while
many
look
to
the
day
to
day,
we
tend
to
look
at
some
of
these
seven-day
14-day
averages
and
that's
why
we
pair
the
average
seven-day
981
number
with
yesterday's
report
on
case
numbers.
C
9718.,
let's
get
under
the
hood
on
those
numbers,
take
a
look
at
them.
I
mentioned
we
tested
close
to
138
000
people.
Yesterday,
you'll
see
the
average
number
of
tests
over
the
last
seven
days,
north
of
124
000.
We
will
yes
continue
to
work
to
get
those
testing
numbers
up.
I
don't
know
many
states
that
are
testing
as
many
people,
but
that
you
know,
as
my
mom
used
to
say,
don't
compare
yourself
to
others.
C
So
we've
got
to
mark
a
responsibility
as
a
nation's
largest
state
to
do
more,
and
I
recognize
our
responsibility
to
do
more
testing.
So
does
dr
galley?
That's
why
he
announced
on
multiple
occasions
our
efforts
in
that
space,
including
by
the
way,
the
encouraging
news
on
testing
as
it
relates
to
the
fda.
Finally,
moving
on
pooled
testing
and
so
we'll
be
pushing
that
very,
very
aggressively
nowhere
working
collaboratively
with
kaiser
and
sutter
as
healthcare
systems
who've
been
incredible
partners
with
our
efforts
to
date.
C
We
also
have
incredible
leadership
at
ucsd
and
notable
leadership
at
stanford
and
ucla.
I
want
to
just
make
a
personal
point
to
thank
governor
gray
davis
who's
been
real
champion
for
some
of
the
pulled
testing
efforts
and
has
had
strong
relationship
that
he's
been
able
to
coordinate
with
and
provide
support
of
with
ucla.
In
particular,
and
so
you're
going
to
be
hearing
a
lot
more
about
pull
testing
it's
something
we've
talked
about
in
the
past.
C
We
finally
got
those
approvals
from
the
feds
some
are
still
pending,
but
we
want
to
start
moving
quest
as
one
of
our
national
labs
they're
going
to
be
doing
most
their
pool
testing
back
east
first,
but
that's
not
going
to
delay
our
efforts
as
we're
going
to
pursue
our
own
efforts
here
in
the
state
of
california.
Dr
galley
will
talk
a
lot
more
about
that.
C
I
look
forward
to
talking
to
you
a
lot
more
about
that
as
well,
so
we're
going
to
be
more
creative
in
this
space
and
then
we
may
have
a
little
bit
of
surprise
related
to
new
strategy
next
week
related
to
testing
that
I'm
also
looking
forward
to
making
public
a
new
partnership
for
more
innovation
in
this
space.
Little
preview
on
announcement
next
week,
seven
day,
positivity
rate
7.5
monday,
when
I
shared
this
slide
with
7.4
percent.
C
So
the
14
days
holding
fairly
steady
seven
day,
has
been
a
little
bit
more
challenging
at
7.7
last
monday
7-9
today,
but
7.5
is
the
14-day
average.
You
can
see
where
we
were
two
weeks
ago.
7.4
percent
on
this
slide,
7.5
again,
where
we
are
today.
Hospitalizations
are
increasing,
but
not
at
the
rate
that
they
were
in
the
past.
C
Let
me
be
specific:
two
weeks
ago
our
hospitalization
numbers,
when
I
announced
them,
were
growing
over
a
14-day
period
about
28
16,
when
I
socialized
hospitalization
numbers
a
week
or
so
ago
this
week
we're
putting
at
least
the
end
of
this
week.
It
looks
a
nine
percent
increase
in
hospitalization.
So
again,
hospitalizations
are
increasing,
but
there
is
a
decrease
in
the
increase
if
you're
following
me,
meaning
the
rate
of
growth
is
beginning
to
decline.
C
Modestly,
that
is
nothing
to
jump
up
and
down
about
it's
just
a
fact.
Again.
These
are
statewide
numbers
and
they
mask
the
reality
in
different
parts
of
the
state,
and
I'm
going
to
get
to
that,
as
we
always
do
with
the
monitoring
list
to
only
reinforce
and
underscore
that
this
is
aggregate
data
and,
as
you
hear
me
say
often
none
of
us
live
in
the
aggregate.
C
We
live
somewhere
in
the
state
of
california
with
different
criteria,
different
conditions
and
different
realities,
as
it
relates
to
hospital
capacity
and
the
like,
but
nine
percent
increase
over
a
14-day
period.
You'll
see
total
system
capacity.
Still
in
that
nine
percent
of
all
the
hospital
beds,
it's
been
relatively
steady.
Eight
percent
nine
percent
is
nine
percent
in
monday's
presentation,
still
nine
percent
in
terms
of
total
hospital
capacity.
Today
friday,
it's
really
nice
to
use
a
similar
trend,
as
it
relates
to
the
rate
of
increase.
C
While
things
are
increasing
a
couple
weeks
back
was
20
percent
over
a
two-week
period,
then
it
was
12
percent.
I
think,
on
monday
that
I
announced
11
is
the
two-week
emissions
over
14-day
period
in
icus,
like
hospitals,
icu
capacity
is
distinctive
in
different
parts
of
the
state,
and
this
is
a
point
of
particular
focus
for
us
as
it
relates
to
issues
of
ventilators
as
it
relates
to
some
counties.
We
talked
about
imperial
county
in
the
past,
but
parts
of
san
joaquin
valley
now
stanislaus
and
other
parts
of
the
state.
C
The
icu
question
becomes
a
more
important
and
impactful
one
to
answer
and
to
address
ventilators
that
are
available
still
close
to
12
000..
Remember
ventilators,
you
see
the
icu
bed
capacity,
remember
what
a
ventilator
does
at
the
end
of
the
day,
a
ventilator
not
easily,
but
with
the
incredible
capacity
we
have
in
the
hospital
system
and
the
surge
plants,
ventilators
can
turn
to
more
access
more
points
of
opportunity
to
increase
the
portfolio
beds
that
are
available
in
our
icu
system.
C
There
was
some
new
reporting
that
came
from
the
feds
or
new
criteria
reporting,
and
that's
why
the
number
we
had
about
17
that
blue
section
on
this,
which
is
the
total
number
of
icu
patients
that
are
tested
positive
for
cova
19.
23.
Today
it
didn't
grow
from
17
to
23
per
se.
Just
we
had
to
use
different
number.
They
wanted
to
pull
out
the
nicu
beds,
not
just
the
icu
beds,
and
so
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
are
aligning
with
the
updated
federal
reporting.
C
So
that's
a
slide
you're
very
familiar
with,
and
the
23
represents
that
update
as
it
relates
that
critical
capacity.
Here's
the
update.
It
relates
to
our
critical
focus
and
attention
related
to
the
monitoring
list
of
those
counties
that
have
been
on
for
at
least
three
days.
You'll
see
now
we
have
34
counties.
Current
just
went
on
that
are
on
for
three
plus
days,
so
this
list,
and
we
have
a
couple
more
that
are
likely
to
end
up
over
the
weekend,
so
it
may
be
as
high
as
36
represents.
C
California
have
been
very
meaningful
in
terms
of
pushing
outdoor
activities
and
the
like,
and
so
these
are
the
counties
where
we're
providing
more
technical
assistance
that
we're
monitoring
with
more
laser
acuity.
Of
course,
we
again
monitor
all
58
counties,
but
this
is
the
list
that
we've
highlighted
to
list
very
important
parents
like
myself
as
it
relates
to
the
issue
of
reopening
our
schools.
This
is
the
list
you
want
to
be
off
of
not
on
so
that
we
can
get
back
to
in-person
education
sooner
not
later.
C
As
always,
I
want
to
remind
you
the
importance
imperative
wearing
a
masks,
nothing
more
important
as
we
move
into
a
weekend
and
I'll
remind
all
of
us
that
it's
often
the
case,
don't
need
to
remind
you
perhaps
that
weekend's,
where
we
you
know,
certainly
take
off
the
suit
and
tie
and
may
take
down
our
guard
a
little
bit
and
that's
where
we
have
started
to
see
some
spread
of
this
virus,
and
so
I
encourage
you
just
when
you're
mixing
outside
your
household.
If
you
have
to
do
that,
I
encourage
you
not
to
do
that.
C
We're
guiding
you
not
to
do
that,
but
to
wear
the
masks
physically
distance.
Don't
let
down
your
guard?
Let
me
just
close
by
saying
this:
it's
related
to
letting
down
our
guard.
It's
interesting.
We've
been
talking
our
health
officers
up
and
down
the
state
for
months
now,
but
in
particular
in
relationship
to
the
presentation
we're
making
today
on
essential
workers
and
again
they've
highlighted
concerns
around
multi-generational
households.
C
Households,
where
we're
seeing
a
lot
of
mixing
they've,
highlighted
concerns
around
segments
of
our
economy
and
importance
of
moving
indoor
activities
outdoors,
which
we
have
been
doing
again.
We've
been
guided
by
this
partnership
up
and
down
the
state
with
health
officials
and
federal
partners
across
the
country
that
have
also
been
helpful,
regional
and
those
that
are
working
directly
with
the
administration
in
washington,
d.c
in
terms
of
identifying
hot
spots,
skilled,
nursing
facilities,
congregate,
settings
and
the
like.
But
what
we
heard
over
and
over
again
is
even
with
essential
workers.
C
C
C
We
are
very
likely
you
are
very
likely
to
significantly
reduce
the
spread
of
this
virus,
including
your
own
capacity
to
get
it
as
always,
can't
forget,
washing
hands
sanitation,
which
is
foundational
and
fundamental
as
well
to
moving
our
efforts
forward.
So
with
that
happy
to
move
this
conversation
forward
and
happy
to
answer
any
questions
from
porters
that
I
know
are
assembled
online.
E
Governor,
how
are
you
with
companies
like
stanislaus
and
san
joaquin
county
in
a
health
care
crisis,
san
joaquin
county,
seeing
138
percent
over
bed
capacity
struggling
with
staffing?
Can
you
clarify
why
none
of
these
counties
are
tapping
into
your
health
corps?
You
know
you've
been
saying
there
are
35
000
health
corps
members
ready
to
be
deployed
to
assist
with
this
crisis,
but
we've
learned
most
aren't
actually
qualified
to
work
in
an
icu
or
have
the
license
to
respond.
C
I
have
the
exact
number
and
forgive
me
I'm
going
to
make
sure
that
our
team
sends
it
to
you,
but
we
did
just
get
an
updated
number.
As
you
know,
I
have
over
90
plus
thousand
people
that
filled
out
an
application,
but
not
all
of
them
were
licensed.
Not
all
of
them
met
the
criteria
and
our
expectations,
roughly
35
000,
as
you
suggest,
did
not
all
of
them
active.
C
We
currently
in
this
I
do
know
18
different
cohorts
have
been
supported:
segments
of
our
economy,
skilled
nursing
facilities,
hospitals,
other
settings,
cdcr
in
our
prisons
by
our
health
corps
teams,
hundreds
and
hundreds
of
people
deployed
as
we
speak,
I'll,
get
you
the
exact
and
updated
number.
We
also-
and
I
mentioned
this
a
couple
days
ago
and
forgive
me
that
I
don't
recall
the
exact
number,
but
we
had
just
went.
C
But
let
me
just
say
this
in
relationship
healthcore
is
one
component
and
we're
very
proud
of
that
process
and
very
proud
of
the
hundreds
and
hundreds
of
people
that
have
been
deployed
throughout
the
state
at
critical
junctures
throughout
this
pandemic,
and
we
certainly
are
doubling
down
on
the
efforts
moving
forward
to
work
through
the
latest
increase
in
the
wave
of
this
virus.
But
we
also-
and
I
hope
you
pick
this
up-
we're
also
very
lucky-
to
have
the
support
of
190
federal
medical
personnel
that
came
in.
C
They
have
been
deployed
this
last
week
in
the
week
prior
through
our
partnership
with
hhs.
We
also
have
a
lot
of
other
federal
teams
that
we've
assembled
and
strike
teams
within
our
own
system.
You
just
recall
the
work
we
did
down
in
imperial.
It's
interesting,
not
everybody's,
talking
about
imperial.
Now
we
still
have
a
lot
of
work
to
do
down
there,
but
you'll
recall
on
multiple
occasions
all
the
strike
teams
that
we
sent
down
these
multi-jurisdictional
teams,
federal
partners,
regional
partners,
state
partners
as
well
as
county
partners,
and
so
that's
the
approach.
C
F
Hi
governor,
you
acknowledged
the
other
day
that
people
are
on
the
edge
of
a
cliff
and
there's
this
looming
eviction
crisis,
with
additional
unemployment
set
to
expire,
and
on
top
of
that
people
are
still
struggling
to
connect
with
edd
and
get
their
benefits.
So
two
questions
more
than
four
months
into
this
pandemic.
C
Yeah
we've
done
much
or
more.
I
don't
know
another
state
as
programs
to
secure
federal
dollars
for
homeless
and
now
purchasing
through
our
project
home
key,
not
just
room
key
new
homeless
housing
partnerships
on
meals
for
our
seniors
to
help
keep
restaurant
workers
employed
creative
strategies
on
sick
leave
and
workers,
comp
that
we
identified
here
today
and
you're
reinforcing
I'm
very
proud
of
those
efforts,
and
so
the
answer
to
your
question.
It's
a
way
of,
I
guess,
extending
a
narrative.
C
We
always
take
responsibility
to
try
to
do
a
little
bit
more
a
little
bit
better,
including
regardless
your
immigration
status.
I
know
that's
controversial,
but
the
state
did
that
not
every
state,
I
don't
know
another
state
did
that
to
help
support
folks
that
are
vulnerable
in
this
environment.
So
look
I'm
expecting
good
news
with
the
work
that
leader
pelosi
speaker
pelosi
will
be
advancing
if
she
wasn't
there.
C
I
wouldn't
be
as
confident
in
that
statement,
but
because
she's
there
I
have
deep
confidence
in
her
capacity
to
pull
something
off
important
to
pull
something
off.
That
directly
addresses
the
issue
not
just
on
unemployment
insurance,
but
getting
checks
in
the
pockets
of
those
that
have
been
impacted
by
covet
19..
Look.
This
relates
to
the
prior
question
as
it
relates
to
a
component
of
your
question.
Related
ddd,
4.8
billion
has
been
distributed
this
week
at
edd.
Seven
million
people
have
just
since
march,
12
received
unemployment
insurance
benefits.
C
I
don't
think
there's
another
state
comes
close
in
terms
of
death
processing,
so
we're
dealing
with
a
scale
and
scope,
not
an
excuse.
5600
people,
5600
people-
I
haven't
updated
you
in
the
last
few
weeks.
We
talked
about
that
first
cohort
of
1300
people
that
we
put
to
help
with
our
helplines
and
the
new
text
messaging
program,
how
we
brought
other
agencies
in
and
project
improvement
teams
in
we
have
a
medium-term
strategy
and
then
I
have
a
long-term
strategy.
C
That's
on
the
leading
and
cutting
edge
of
1979,
and
that's
not
an
excuse.
That's
an
opportunity
and
it's
a
responsibility
to
not
build
on
it,
but
to
reimagine
and
reprocess
that
entire
system,
so
don't
think
for
a
second.
We
have
not
been
focused
on
the
medium
and
long
term
and
then
just
addressing
the
adequacy
of
getting
those
very
difficult
individual
claims
where
something
is
just
not
clicking
in
terms
of
the
information
provided
or
the
response
back
in
timely
manner
and
deal
with
all
that
backlog.
C
So
you're
going
to
hear
a
lot
more
about
that
and
next
week
and
what
edd
will
be
doing
in
addition
to
all
the
new
people
that
we
put
on
the
problem,
but
how
we
solve
the
problem
once
and
for
all,
and
that's
my
responsibility
as
governor
and
look
forward
to
advancing
those
reforms.
I
don't
want
to
over
promise
that
they'll
happen
overnight,
but
know
that
people
are
working
overtime
in
that
space.
C
C
G
Hello
governor,
thank
you
very
much
for
taking
our
questions
today,
a
couple
of
quick
things.
If
I
could
number
one
can
you
comment
or
perhaps
dr
gally
could
comment
on
where
we
believe
the
r
effective
rate
is
now
la
county,
believes
it's
below
that
threshold
of
1.0
statewide
in
the
aggregate.
Do
we
also
see
that
encouragement
and
secondarily,
can
you
shed
some
light
on
the
u.s
air
force,
military
personnel
who
are
being
deployed
at
certain
hospitals
and
why
los
angeles
county
was
selected
as
a
location
for
two
hospitals
to
receive
that
military
aid?
C
Both
perfectly
positioned
with
dr
galley
in
front
of
me,
I
will
come
up
the
podium.
As
you
know,
dr
gally
comes
from
l.a
been
very
close
in
collaborative
relationships,
including
his
wife,
who
runs
the
system
down
there
so
better
to
have
him
answer
that
question.
Let
me
just
quickly
say
as
late
as
they
are
effective,
we
finally
have
seen
it,
and
I
appreciate
you
acknowledging
la
county
finally,
an
imperial
now
below
one
as
well,
I'm
in
peril
of
answering
a
question,
dr
galley's,
better
position
answer.
H
Thank
you
governor,
and
thank
you
for
the
question.
Indeed,
as
the
governor
describes,
we
don't
live
in
aggregate,
they
are
effective
throughout
the
state
is
different.
We
have
some
counties
below
one
and
remember
all
that
means
is
that
a
single
person
who's
infected
today
is
going
to
in
infect
that
number
of
people
next.
H
So
when
you
drop
below
one,
it
means
you're
starting
to
drop
your
number
of
cases,
the
level
of
transmission
in
your
community
and
hopefully,
if
that
maintains
you'll,
see
the
cases
drop
down,
then
the
impact
on
the
hospitalization
and
the
icu
levels
as
well.
So
good
news
when
you
drop
below
one
imperial
county,
la
some
others
are
below
one.
Others
are
hovering
around
1.1
1.2
1.3,
and
what
that
means
is
that
more
people
over
time
will
become
infected.
H
So,
even
though
we
look
at
the
statewide
number,
that's
somewhere
between
1.1
and
1.3,
we
notice
that
some
counties
are
going
to
be
on
the
upward
of
transmission
and
others
are
going
to
be
decreasing.
So
we
watch
that
closely
and
some
of
the
encouraging
news
in
some
of
our
counties
is
really
tied
to
that.
H
Again,
we
looked
across
the
state
l.a
county
with
big
hospitals,
important
centers,
where
we
see
disease
transmission
high
concern
to
make
sure
that
the
hospitals
in
that
important
center
are
supported,
received
two
out
of
eight
of
the
teams.
So
a
sort
of
proportionate
share,
if
you
will
across
the
state,
but
remember
some
of
the
other
teams,
went
to
northern
parts,
even
rural
parts
of
our
state
to
make
sure
that
the
hospitals
are
supported.
H
We
also
will
continue
to
work
with
our
federal
partners
to
ensure
that
that
staff
can
be
moved
to
strategic
places
throughout
the
state
when
necessary.
So
we'll
continue
to
work
with
la
we'll
continue
to
work
with
the
bay
area,
counties
and
all
counties
throughout
the
state
throughout
the
state
to
make
sure
staffing
there,
as
well
as
our
health
corps
staff,
our
deployed
strategically
to
make
sure
patients
get
the
level
of
care
that
they
need
and
that
staffing
doesn't
become
the
issue
around
delivering
high
quality
care
throughout
the
state.
C
Yes,
it
has
we're
raising
our
standards,
we're
requiring
for
every
sector
that
an
inspector
is
inspecting
that
they
meet
the
same
criteria,
that's
established
within
that
sector,
so
that
has
been.
That
has
been
changed.
It
is
forgive
me
and
the
lexicon
of
government
a
meet
and
confer
issue
with
our
bargaining
units,
but
we
will
raise
that
standard.
I
I
just
want
to
understand
exactly
what
you're
announcing
today.
Are
you
signing
any
executive
orders
or
public
health
orders
today
in
relation
to
the
things
that
you've
talked
about,
and
then
when
is
the
state
going
to
provide
details
on
the
waiver
process
for
schools,
and
will
it
be
a
requirement
that
unions
have
to
support
any
of
the
waiver
plans
for
them
to
be
approved.
C
Yeah,
well
let
me
let
me
take
advantage
of
giving
you
a
slide,
as
relates
to
elementary
remember.
The
waiver
process
is
for
elementary
schools,
specifically
here
in
the
state
of
california
and
the
requirements
work
along
the
lines
you
see
posted
now,
those
of
you
that
don't
have
the
benefit
of
a
television
set
or
the
ability
to
read
the
slide.
C
It's
about
partnerships
that
need
to
be
initiated
with
the
quest
requesting
a
waiver
with
labor
parents,
community-based
organizations
to
allow
for
in-person
instruction
again
for
elementary
schools,
specifically
in
partnership
with
local
health
officials
and
so
school
districts,
can
work
with
their
local
health
departments
to
go
through
that
waiver
process,
and
so
that's
the
framework
that
we've
laid
out.
That's
the
guidance
that
we
put
up
when
we
announced
the
guidance
for
schools
writ
large.
C
This
was
the
guidance
was
included
in
that
process,
and
so
it
is
a
process
that
we
look
forward
to
engaging
in
and
one
that
we've
laid
out
with
broad
strokes
on
this
slide.
It
relates
to
the
issue
question
you
raised
related
to
the
work
with
the
legislature.
Here's
the
good
news
legislature
is
in
session
they're,
not
out
of
session
meaning.
C
When
I
first
established
the
framework
for
the
executive
orders
the
legislature
had
to
shut
down.
We
were
in
the
middle
of
this
pandemic
with
certain
emergency
orders
that
we
needed
to
advance
in
real
time,
because
the
legislature
and
many
legislative
leaders
have
introduced
legislation
and
will
be
reconvening
next
week
formally.
C
We
are
working
hand
in
glove
with
leadership,
the
legislature,
to
look
at
a
number
of
those
bills
and
to
see
how
we
can
build
on
the
work
that
was
done
with
some
of
these
executive
orders,
but
also
work
that
wasn't
advanced
through
any
executive,
fiat
or
executive
order.
And
so
that's
the
spirit
of
the
moment.
The
spirit
of
engagement
but
again
with
a
laser
like
a
focus
in
terms
of
timelines
and
expectations.
J
Additionally,
much
much
of
the
federal
discussion
and
debate
has
to
do
with.
You
know
whether
or
not
that
extra
600
disincentivizes
works
as
you've
spoken
with
national
leaders.
Have
you
made
the
case
that
the
extra
600
may
mean
one
thing
in
iowa,
but
means
something
totally
different
to
a
californian
who
probably
still
can't
pay
their
bills
with
that
extra
six
hundred
dollars.
C
Yeah
well
done
I
mean
you,
you
just
made
the
case
by
framing
the
question
and
so
you're
absolutely
spot
on
and
that's
self-evident
to
anyone
who
lives
in
a
high-cost
environment,
not
just
here
in
california
but
other
parts
of
the
country.
We've
made
that
place
abundantly
to
legislative
leaders,
notably
speaker
pelosi.
We've
had
constant
dialogue
with
speaker
pelosi.
As
you
may
recall.
A
number
of
months
ago
we
were
very
aggressive
in
terms
of
our
our
proactive
advocacy
for
a
new
cares
act.
Now
we
were
not
shy.
C
We
have
been
shy
in
terms
of
our
criticism
of
the
lethargy
of
the
process
so
far
coming
from
the
united
states
senate
and
the
aggressive
contrasted
by
the
aggressive
actions
taken
by
speaker,
pelosi
and
the
house
of
representatives
that
moved
aggressively
with
a
bill
to
substantively
not
only
address
the
issue
that
you
identified
as
relates
to
the
supplemental
600
payment,
but
even
well
beyond
that
in
terms
of
meeting
the
needs
of
individuals
ravaged
by
the
economic
consequences
of
this
virus.
So
that's
leadership.
C
C
That
said,
yes,
we
have
gamed
out
not
only
as
it
relates
to
the
individual
contributions
that
individuals
have
gotten
related
to
federal
supports,
but
you
saw
in
our
budget
all
the
additional
money
we
put
in.
You
know
we
have
historic
budget
cuts,
but
we
didn't
cut
the
historic
increase
that
we
put
in
to
our
working
families,
tax
credit,
the
eitc.
C
You
saw
the
100
or
so
million
dollars
close
to
that
that
my
business
and
advisory
jobs
advisory
committee
helped
conceive
to
help
small
businesses
that
were
falling
through
the
ppp
cracks
and
the
sba
cracks
to
make
sure
that
we're
getting
to
women
minority
owned
businesses,
some
emergency
aid
and
loans.
You
saw
the
child
tax
credit
component
of
the
itc
that
we
strengthened.
You
saw
some
of
the
sick
leave
protections.
C
C
If
this
were
a
house,
the
foundation
to
prepare
for
whatever
may
happen
externally,
so
that
we're
we
could
be
more
firm
and
foundational
in
terms
of
our
resourcefulness
to
address
what
may
or
may
not
happen.
At
the
federal
level,
we
were
able
to
put
together
a
budget
with
a
lot
of
contingent
cuts
and
as
those
dollars
materialize,
those
cuts
will
not
materialize.
That
will
also
help
strengthen
our
resolve
and,
moreover,
our
resiliency
as
a
state.
We
also
looked
at
our
reserves
and
we
didn't.
We
didn't
use
every
reserve,
every
dollar
reserve.
C
So
again
we
had
resources
in
case
just
in
case
things
didn't
materialize,
so
it
gives
you
a
sense.
I
just
want
to
give
you
a
sense
get
into
the
mindset
here
that
the
answer
is
yes,
we
are
in
a
very
flexible
and
dynamic
environment
and
we're
in
a
very
opportunistic
one
in
this
respect-
and
I
say
that
not
pejoratively
but
meaningfully
with
the
legislature
coming
back
into
session
next
week
with
renewed
energy
and
desire
to
partner
which
has
always
been
there,
but
real
desire
to
partner
with
specific
legislative
vehicles.
C
We
have
the
ability
to
move
very
quickly
in
the
next
few
weeks,
depending
on
what
happens,
and
so
that's
also
a
point
that
should
be
encouraging,
despite
some
of
the
discouraging
lack
of
intentionality
and
action
to
date
by
the
senate
leadership,
and
that's
something
again
that
we
want
to
fix
something
we
want
to
address.
So
with
that.
I
want
to
thank
all
of
you
for
the
opportunity
for
me
to
address
you
today
and
the
week
and
encourage
you
to
again
practice
at
social
distancing.
