B
I
say
historic.
I
mean
it
with
purpose
and
intention
just
consider
it
last
year,
at
this
stage
this
date
last
year
in
2019,
we
had
4292
wildfires
in
the
state
of
california,
burned
about
six
thousand
acres.
Forty
two
hundred
and
ninety
two
wildfires
this
time
last
year
today,
over
seven
thousand
wildfires,
seven
thousand
and
two
burning
now
north
of
one
1.4
million
acres,
56
000
acres
to
date.
B
Sadly,
we've
lost
seven
lives
so
far
to
these
latest
fires
and
over
1200
reported
structures,
and
I
want
to
just
make
point:
that's
the
number
of
structures
that
have
been
reported
in
to
our
office
of
emergency
services.
There's
no
question:
there
are
more
structures
that
have
been
damaged
by
this
historic
wildfire
season.
Here's
the
last
24
hours
close
to
300,
lightning
strikes.
We
experienced
the
last
24
hours
as
I
noted
10
new
fires,
the
last
24
hours.
B
So
this
challenge
continues,
including
the
weather
today,
particularly
up
in
the
sierras,
particularly
in
the
eastern
part
of
the
state.
We're
still
experiencing
some
weather,
including
lightning
strikes
a
little
bit
of
wind,
but
the
bottom
line
is
these
lightning
strikes
have
been
the
most
impactful
and
most
challenging.
It's
also
been
impenetrable
in
terms
of
identifying
fires
related
to
these
strikes,
and
I
make
the
point
to
say:
there's
been
10
new
fires,
but
I
want
to
make
an
additional
point,
and
that
is,
there
are
a
lot
of
sleeper
fires.
B
We
expect
to
discover,
as
our
reconnaissance
efforts
as
our
aerial
efforts
continue,
particularly
as
the
smoke
begins
to
clear
as
weather
conditions
change.
We
will
be
identifying
likely
additional
fires
throughout
the
state,
but
289
lightning
strikes.
We
anticipated
a
busy
night
last
night.
Good
news
is
the
lightning
strikes
weren't
as
bad
as
some
had
anticipated,
but
nonetheless
close
to
310
new
fires
reported
in
the
state.
Let
me
give
you
a
sense
of
progress
as
it
relates
to
active
wildfires
in
the
state.
B
I
think
it's
also
important
to
note
progress,
not
just
focus
on
the
big
challenges
that
we
face,
but
also
the
challenges
that
continue
to
be
faced
here
in
the
state.
Last
week
I
shared
with
you
an
update
of
the
lake
fire
august
19th
last
wednesday
I
noted
that
it
was
38
contained
today.
It's
62
percent
contained
so
real
progress
being
made
on
the
lake
fire.
B
Because
of
the
professionalism
of
these
front
line
heroes,
we
now
have
625
fires
in
the
state,
but
17
that
we
constitute
major
fires
and
within
those
major
fires.
These
are
complex
fires.
These
are
the
lightning
complex
flyers,
fires
that
you
likely
have
been
reading
about.
Many
of
you
have
been
experiencing
first
hand
the
lmu
up
there
in
lake
napa,
county
c
z.
U
down
in
the
santa
cruz
area
and
the
scu
fire
down
there
in
the
santa
clara
area.
B
B
We
are
getting
more
personnel
on
that
fire
have
over
the
course
the
last
48
hours,
in
particular
last
24
hours,
more
engines,
more
dozers,
more
aerial
equipment
in
in
around
that
area.
The
scu
fire
is
now
the
third
largest
fire
in
california's
history,
while
the
lnu
is
350
000
acres.
As
of
this
morning,
the
scu
is
347
000
acres.
As
of
this
morning,
we
are
also
battling
fires
that
persist
august
fire
and
the
carmel
fire
and
the
sheep
fire
you'll
see
the
containment
there,
11
15
and
zero
percent.
B
The
sheep
fires
about
26
000
active
acres
as
we
speak,
carmel
about
6700
acres,
active
august
fires,
primarily
a
grass
fire,
larger
178,
000
acres,
primarily
though
a
grass
fire
11
percent
contained,
but
one
that
we
constitute
is
a
major
fire
that
we
are
currently
battling.
We
secured
over
the
weekend
presidential
disaster
declaration
had
to
be
approved
by
the
president
himself.
I
want
to
thank
the
president
for
his
support
of
that
disaster
declaration.
B
We
had
anticipated,
he
would
be
supportive
and
indeed
he
was
supported.
That
declaration
included
some
flexibility
on
including
additional
counties
in
the
state.
One
of
those
counties
that
was
included
in
the
last
24
hours
is
monterey
county.
I
want
to
thank
congressman
panetta
and
others
for
their
advocacy
and
their
stewardship
and
support
of
that
effort
now
included
in
the
major
disaster
declaration.
B
This
will
provide
resources
and
more
flexibility,
resourcefulness
as
it
relates
to
ballotings
wildfires,
as
well
as
direct
aid
individuals,
not
just
direct
access
to
the
state
of
california
and
its
mutual
aid
system
in
terms
of
equipment,
personnel
and
other
support.
Currently,
speaking
of
personnel,
we
have
actively
14
000
firefighters
working
on
these
wildfires.
Over
2400
engines
now
have
been
deployed
throughout
the
state
of
california.
B
We
have
in-state
mutual
aid,
which
is
just
mesmerizing
and
point
of
deep
pride.
I
saw
it
firsthand
on
saturday
assad
firsthand
on
sunday
as
we're
up
there
in
livermore
area.
All
of
a
sudden,
some
santa
monica
fire
engines
come
up.
We
saw
some
tulare
fire
engines
as
well
on
saturday,
santa
cruz
you're,
seeing
the
same
thing
from
many
southern
california,
new
southern
california
engines
coming
up
from
almost
every
department
in
this
state
providing
firefighters
2827.
B
As
of
this
morning,
in-state
mutual
aid
supporting
the
statewide
efforts.
709
engines
now
been
deployed
from
the
six
major
mutual
aid
aid
regions
in
the
state
of
california.
We
also
have
been
beneficiary
of
out-of-state
mutual
aid.
I
updated
you
on
some
of
those
efforts.
Last
week
we
added
a
number
of
states,
including
kansas,
that
has
been
helpful
with
national
guard
support.
We
call
this
tag
process
where
we're
getting
helicopter
type,
one
helicopter
support
from
idaho,
utah,
arizona.
Now
and
kansas.
B
We
have
991
engines
that
have
come
in
from
new
mexico,
texas,
oregon,
utah
washington,
as
well
as
arizona
in
idaho,
governor
bullock.
I
was
on
the
call
with
just
two
days
ago
also
sending
eight
engines
they
should
arrive
momentarily
into
the
state
of
california.
Some
375
total
engines
have
been
requested
from
many
other
states
as
well
and
we're
in
the
process
of
getting
those
assets
delivered.
B
We
continue
to
battle
historic
wildfires,
but
we're
also
battling
this
historic
pandemic,
coven
19
that
has
not
gone
away.
That
makes
some
of
our
wildfire
efforts
a
little
bit
more
challenging,
but
we
are
up
to
the
task.
We
had
prepared
new
protocols,
processes
and
procedures.
In
anticipation
of
meeting
this
moment,
we
had
highlighted
and
socialized
a
number
of
those
strategies.
A
number
of
months
ago,
when
we
highlighted
a
supplemental
appropriation
to
get
some
858
new
cal
fire
personnel
hired
830.
B
B
We
now
have
health
screening
that
has
done
an
assessment
before
entry
in
any
of
our
congregate
shelters
throughout
our
systems.
Part
and
parcel
of
the
evacuation
protocols
mask
requirements.
Social
distancing,
you'll,
see
not
just
the
suit
cuts
and
mats,
but
not
just
cots
and
mats
any
longer.
You'll
see
tents
inside
of
these
facilities
that
allow
us
to
cohort
families
and
individuals
so
that
they
can
be
more
appropriately
socially
distanced,
as
well
as
physically
distanced
from
others
in
these
congregate
facilities,
also
getting
as
many
air
purifiers
as
we
can.
B
I
want
to
thank
our
partners
at
carb
and
others
bay
area,
quality
management
district
that
have
been
working
overtime
to
get
more
air
purifiers
into
these
shelters.
We
still
have
work
to
do
in
that
space,
but
progress
has
been
made,
but
no
longer
are
we
just
bringing
people
into
congregate
facilities
we're
also
bringing
people
into
non-congregate
settings.
In
fact,
the
majority
of
people
that
have
been
evacuated
are
no
longer
being
evacuated
into
those
congregate,
shelters,
they're,
being
evacuated
into
hotels.
B
B
In
addition,
though,
of
course
to
the
non-congregate
shelters,
we
do
have
more
traditional
shelters
in
seven
counties:
17
specific
shelters
about
731
people
in
those
shelters,
but
over
20
211
evacuees.
As
of
this
morning
in
our
shelter
system,
many
multiples,
multiple
of
that
many
more
that
have
been
evacuated,
including
into
trailer
parks.
I
visited
one
of
those
trailer
parks
in
the
santa
cruz
area
yesterday
and
others
with
family
with
friends
that
may
be
in
need
of
shelters.
B
So
we
continue
to
build
our
capacity,
build
our
protocols
in
terms
of
procuring
more
hotel
rooms
to
provide
as
many
people
access
in
a
timely
way
that
we
possibly
can
look
speaking
of
timely.
It
is,
of
course,
always
timely
to
remind
everybody
of
the
challenges
we
continue
to
face
in
terms
of
the
pandemic
itself
and
the
case
numbers
related
to
covet
19..
B
B
We
have
about
a
6.5
percent
positivity
rate
in
the
state
of
california
over
the
last
14
days,
5.6
percent,
over
the
last
seven
days,
5.6
percent
positivity
over
a
seven
day
period,
6.5
percent
positivity
over
a
14-day
period.
We
tested
a
little
over
a
hundred
and
eleven
thousand
people
yesterday,
you'll
see
that
the
seven
day
average
of
daily
tests
is
a
little
over
a
hundred
and
two
thousand
close
to
103
000,
which
is
slightly
down,
not
surprisingly,
if
interested,
not
surprisingly,
the
query
of
why
we're
experiencing
some
disruption
related
to
the
wildfires
throughout
the
state.
B
In
fact,
we
have
seven,
or
rather
11
of
our
own
state
labs
are
verily
and
optimum
serve
labs
that
have
been
impacted
very
directly
by
the
wildfires,
but
nonetheless
we're
still
stubbornly
getting
over
a
hundred
thousand
tests
a
day.
111
000
that
were
reported
in
yesterday
hospitalizations
on
the
report
that
came
in
yesterday
showed
a
20
decrease
over
a
14-day
period,
continuing
to
trend
in
a
very
encouraging
direction,
down
minus
2.1
percent.
B
In
this
last
24-hour
reporting
period,
hospitalizations
now
covet
positive,
hospitalized
patients
that
is
represent
in
our
hospital
system.
Six
percent
of
the
healthcare
capacity
icus
we
are
down
19
over
a
14-day
period,
actually
dropped
3.1
percent
in
the
last
24-hour
period
period,
again:
trending
not
dissimilar
to
the
hospital
numbers
over
a
14-day
period
down
19
over
14
days
and
total
number
of
icu
positive
patients.
In
our
system,
now
you
recall,
was
23.
22
20
now
represents
17
percent
of
the
entire
icu
capacity
within
the
entire
icu.
Well
entire
system.
B
You
see
this
slide.
It's
a
familiar
slide
number
of
counties
on
the
monitoring
list
for
three
days.
What
is
not
as
familiar
is
that
we
are
seeing
a
decline
in
the
total
number
of
counties
on
the
monitoring
list.
Picking
up
a
little
bit
on
the
trend
we
saw
last
week
from
42
counties
down
to
40
counties.
Today
you
see
there
are
35
counties
on
our
monitoring
list.
The
counties
that
came
off
the
list
include
calaveras
mono,
napa,
county
orange
county
and
sierra
county,
sierra
and
calaveras.
You
may
recall
just
recently.
B
B
Just
briefly,
I
want
to
continue
to
remind
you
how
deadly
this
disease
is,
and
while
we
reported
monday's
reporting
is
always
lower
than
it
actually
is,
because
the
reporting
delays
over
the
weekends
never
as
accurate
as
they
could
be,
but
18
deaths.
I
said
this
last
week
I
said
it
the
prior
week
look
at
the
averages:
128
individuals
over
a
14-day
period
on
average
128
on
average,
losing
their
lives
to
covet.
B
19.,
don't
be
misled
by
that
18
number
that
came
out
today
and
that's
why
it's
absolutely
essential
for
no
other
reason
than
to
protect
you
from
air
quality,
but
also
protect
you
and
others
from
the
spread
of
this
virus.
This
pandemic
has
not
gone
away.
It
may
be
out
of
the
headlines
in
the
state
of
california,
because
the
wildfires
have
moved
into
that
current
occupation
of
role
of
running
the
daily
news
feeds
but
wearing
a
mask
is
foundational
in
terms
of
continuing
to
mitigate
the
spread
of
this
disease.
B
Mitigating
the
damage
to
your
health,
as
well
associated
with
the
smoke,
encourage
you
to
physically
distance,
as
always
wash
your
hands
and,
of
course,
minimize
the
extent
possible.
Forgive
the
redundancy,
the
mixing
we're
seeing
around
the
state.
Let
me
just
conclude
by
making
one
final
point,
and
that
is
I
I'm
really
proud
and
honored
just
to
see
it
firsthand.
The
incredible
work.
B
That's
been
done
by
volunteers,
all
across
the
state
of
california,
by
all
of
those
selfless
individuals
from
the
american
red
cross
and
elsewhere
that
come
from
all
over
the
country
with
their
heart
on
their
sleeve
there
to
take
care
of
evacuees,
take
care
of
strangers.
I
want
to
thank
the
deputy
sheriffs
that
I
have
spent
time
with
that
are
doing
extraordinary
work
in
communities
all
across
the
state
of
california,
particularly
northern
california,
with
the
evacuations.
B
Besides
the
legality
of
that
is
self-evident,
but
I
just
want
to
thank
again
local
law
enforcement
for
all
of
their
good
work
during
these
trying
times.
I
want
to
thank
all
the
shelter
operators,
including
all
the
faith-based
operators
out
there,
representing
every
conceivable
spectrum
within
our
faith-based
community,
opening
up
their
facilities,
in
many
cases
their
homes
to
strangers.
I
also
want
to
thank
eloy,
oakley
and
others.
The
community
colleges
that
have
been
made
available,
the
dormitories
that
are
being
made
available
throughout
the
state,
the
csu
system
and
the
uc
system.
B
Again,
just
the
heroic
effort
across
the
spectrum
of
people
really
doing
incredible
work
at
this
very,
very
difficult
and
challenging
time,
including
by
the
way,
taking
care
of
a
lot
of
pets,
and
any
of
you
love
pets
and
horses,
and
I
met
a
gentleman
yesterday
down
at
the
county,
fairground
and
senate
cruz,
that
was
taking
care
of
a
pig
and
two
dogs
and
was
very
pleased
by
how
well
christian.
Thank
you
christian
for
your
great
leadership
on
that
shelter
operation.
B
B
The
weather
again
continues
to
be
a
little
unfavorable,
primarily
around
the
sierras
in
the
eastern
part
of
the
state,
with
some
potential
lightning
through
this
evening,
but
by
and
large
the
weather
system
over
the
course
of
the
next
week.
It's
a
little
cooler,
a
lot
cooler.
By
contrast
to
where
we
were
10
days
ago,
a
little
bit
cooler
where
we
were
a
week
ago,
still
hot
in
the
state.
But
the
winds
can
change
on
a
moment's
notice,
but
the
winds
will
be
very
determinative
in
terms
of
our
ability
to
suppress.
B
B
B
We've
got
our
teams
here
at
the
state
operations
center,
all
throughout
northern
california,
including
head
of
cal
fire
oes
and
the
general
national
guard.
Baldwin
all
just
left
the
sock
after
briefing
and
heading
down
to
the
ccu
complex,
and
we
continue
again
to
be
monitoring
activity
all
throughout
the
state.
B
There
are
many
other
fires
I
didn't
highlight
from
butte
fire
progress
has
been
made
on
the
jones
fire
other
fires,
but
I
just
want
to
thank
every
single
member
of
not
only
law
enforcement,
but
these
incredible
firefighters
that
are
out
there
on
the
front
lines,
those
hand,
crews
from
the
conservation
corps,
including
from
cdcr
that
are
out
there,
which
we
saw
near
pleasanton
on
saturday
doing
an
incredible
job
under
very
difficult
and
strenuous
circumstances,
or
straining
circumstances.
So
with
that
happy
now
to
take
any
questions.
C
Hi
governor
thanks
for
taking
my
question,
you
have
many
challenges
going
on.
I
don't
doubt
that,
but
I
wanted
to
ask
about
the
guidance
for
reopening
that's
something.
A
lot
of
people
are
looking
for,
and
you
said
that
there
would
be
public
health
officers
reviewing
some
suggestions
over
the
weekend
and
wondering
when
we'll
see
the
final
product
you'll.
B
See
them
this
week,
real
progress
was
made
over
the
weekend.
We
had
some
good
dialogue,
we're
making
some
adjustments
based
upon
the
feedback
we
received
on
saturday
sunday.
We
had
a
meeting
this
morning
on
those
guidelines
and
we
will
be
working
with
others,
not
only
in
industry
but
outside
our
local
health
officers
and
our
state
health
authorities
to
socialize
these
guidelines,
and
we
look
forward
to
having
them
out
this
week.
D
All
right
governor
two
of
the
three
largest
counties
are
among
the
eight
that
are
off
the
monitoring
list
and
a
number
of
other
counties
are
getting
close.
I
know,
you've
said
classroom
instruction,
you
know
in
person.
Classroom
instruction
is
best
for
children,
but
these
counties
stay
off
the
list
for
14
days.
Do
you
think
their
school
district
should
immediately
move
to
classroom
learning
and
how
soon
will
you
allow
for
the
reopening
of
the
businesses
you
closed
or
restricted
last
month,
as
well
as
allowing
inside
religious
services.
B
You're
off
that
list,
then
working
with
local
health
officers
lurking
working
with
labor
management,
working
with
local
school
districts
and
superintendents
and
local
leaders
in
concert
with
parents
and
with
advocates,
we
look
forward
to
advancing
the
opportunity
for
those
districts
to
determine
on
the
basis
of
local
conditions
what
they
believe
is
in
the
best
interest
for
their
kids
and
moving
back
to
in-person
learning.
They
have
that
option
and
that
option
is
afforded
pursuant
to
guidelines
that
we
put
out
over
the
course
of
the
last
number
of
weeks.
B
E
Question
and
also
to
law
enforcement.
I
actually
live
in
that
area
where
that
happened
so
hats
off
to
them,
and
I
am
one
of
the
evacuees.
Actually,
one
of
the
things
I
was
wondering
governor
is
that
as
you're
going
through
these
guidelines
and
reopenings,
I've
been
hearing
from
a
lot
of
lgbtqi
people
in
the
beauty,
cosmetology
and
hair
salon
industry,
and
they
argue
that
they
take
a
stronger
measure
of
protocol
standards
than
a
lot
of
other
people,
and
these
they're
still
not
understanding
why
they're
not
allowed
to
fully
reopen.
E
Some
of
them
are
basically
operating
on
on
the
sidewalk.
If
you
will,
and
the
second
part
of
the
question
is-
and
many
of
those
are
actually
part
of-
california's
greater
gig
economy
and
there's
been
no
real
redress
in
terms
of
doing
something
with
ab5
and
I've.
Gotten
a
lot
of
questions
and
emails
and
texts
sent
to
me
after
the
last
time.
E
You
and
I
spoke
about
this
back
in
april-
you
know:
is
there
anything
that
you
can
do
as
governor
to
kind
of
work
with
the
legislature,
understanding
where
the
session
is
right
now
that
can
probably
bring
specific
relief
to
the
gig
economy,
people
that
are
so
negatively
impacted
by
85.
So
that's
two-parter.
B
Yeah,
so
on
on
the
issue
of
employment
status,
w-2
earners
versus
independent
contractors,
there
is
a
legislative
effort
specifically
on
that
that
is
in
the
process
legislative
session
ends
in
a
week
or
so,
and
I
anticipate
that
landing
on
my
desk
so
specific
to
your
question.
Will
there
be
new
clarifications,
new
exemptions
under
ab5
for
certain
work
classifications?
B
The
answer
is
yes
very
likely,
and
I
anticipate
again
having
the
opportunity
to
sign
that
bill
very
very
shortly
as
it
relates
to
individuals,
particularly
the
beauty,
hair
industry
and
the
like.
They
absolutely
are
a
big
part
of
the
conversation
we've
been
having
for
weeks
now
and
specifically
their
concerns.
B
Their
critiques
are
part
and
parcel
of
the
conversations
that
we
have
advanced
with
local
health
officers
over
the
weekend,
and
they
are
part
of
the
guidelines
that
we'll
be
putting
out
later
this
week,
as
it
relates
to
individuals
operating
on
the
sidewalk.
As
you
know,
we
do
allow
for
outdoor
work
to
be
done
working
with
local
health
officers.
We
clarified
that
a
number
of
weeks
ago,
specific
to
the
industry.
You
are
referencing
and
to
you
as
an
individual.
B
B
G
Okay,
great,
I
have
a
similar
question
to
the
previous
one.
Last
week,
uber
and
lyft
were
on
the
verge
of
call
pulling
their
cars
off
the
road
in
california
because
of
a
court
order
that
would
have
caused
them
to
reclassify
their
drivers
at
the
time
the
mayors
of
san,
diego
and
san
jose
pleaded
for
a
state
that
would
provide
an
opportunity
for
parties
to
come
together
with
state
leaders
to
negotiate
a
resolution.
The
companies
got
that
court
reprieve,
so
they
are
not
pulling
their
cars
off
the
road.
G
B
You
know
it
well
because
you
reported
on
our
efforts
last
year,
where
we
tried
to
do
just
that
tried
to
bring
the
parties
together
tried
to
accommodate
the
different
perspectives
we
tried
with
the
legislature
and
with
those
companies
in
particular,
but
other
companies
that
also
participate
in
those
conversation,
and
we
fell
short
of
finding
an
area
of
common
ground.
As
a
consequence,
the
law
went
into
effect.
B
We
are
now
not
a
year,
but
we're
into
the
latter
part
of
the
year
and
the
ag
and
and
pursuant
to
the
courts,
the
dynomax
decision,
two
years
old
or
in
a
position
one
needs
to
enforce
it,
but
you're
right
to
note
there
was
a
reprieve
and
there
is
a
ballot
initiative
that
would
look
to
provide
different
approach
than
ab5
specifically
for
these
gig
companies.
I
want
to
just
make
this
crystal
clear.
The
reason
I
engaged
in
the
conversations
a
year
ago.
B
The
reason
I
did
was
because
I
believe,
there's
an
opportunity
to
find
common
ground
and
I'm
committed
to
long
haul
finding
common
ground.
So
that's
an
answer
directly
to
your
question.
I
also
want
to
just
make
this
point
that
I
value
the
dynamism
of
innovation,
value
companies
that
come
into
markets
with
a
disruptive
mindset
to
create
more
competition
and
to
create
more
choices
and
a
better
experience
for
customers.
It's
a
point
of
deep
pride
that
I've
had
the
privilege
of
growing
up
in
a
state
where
we
have
innovation
running
through
our
veins.
B
It's
what
makes
california
truly
great.
We
have
to
embrace
innovation.
We
have
to
harness
innovation,
we
have
to
create
the
conditions
where
innovators
can
flourish.
At
the
same
time,
we
have
to
respect
and
protect
workers,
and
I
don't
think
it's
an
either
or
I'm
absolutely
convinced
we
can
do
both
and
my
commitment
is
to
do
both
as
you
know.
Well,
we
have
had
an
economic
recovery
task
force.
B
The
foundational
principle
of
that
task
force
is
growth
and
inclusion,
and
so,
as
we
grow
our
economy,
we
must
make
it
an
inclusive
economy,
and
so
those
are
the
tenants
which
we
engaged
a
year
ago,
those
the
tenants
that
I'm
committed
to
advancing
a
cause,
I'm
in
advance
not
only
for
gig
companies
but
for
others
throughout
the
state
of
california.
But
mindful
always
that
our
innovative
spirit
is
foundational
in
terms
of
our
fate
and
future
in
this
state
and
that
must
be
harnessed
and
respected.
B
Well,
I've
visited
most
of
these
shelters
over
the
last
four
days,
and
so
we
have
17
congregate,
shelters
in
our
system,
so
I'm
not
as
concerned
as
you
are
because
of
the
firsthand
experience
of
going
into
these
shelters.
Where
I
was
subject
to
health
screenings,
I
was
subject
to
assessments
before
I
was
allowed
to
enter.
Let
me
give
you
an
example:
yesterday,
down
in
santa
cruz,
at
a
community
college
facility
that
was
being
managed
by
the
local
red
cross,
there
was
a
nurse
there
that
screened
me.
B
B
There
was
a
requirement
that
I
had
a
mask
and
there
was
instructions
around
social
distancing
that
was
provided
before
I
even
got
to
tour
the
facility
when
I
went
inside
the
facility
we
saw
in
this
case
that
were
not
the
tents
that
you
see
in
some
other
facilities,
but
you
saw
cots
that
were
a
wall
in
excess
of
10
feet
apart,
you
saw
tape,
protocols
going
into
the
restroom.
You
saw
protocols
as
well.
Well
established
the
air
purifiers.
They
look
long-windedly
we're
taking
this
very
very
seriously.
It
was
also
yesterday
morning
down
in
well.
B
I
guess
it
was
saturday
morning
in
vacaville
working
to
have
an
opportunity
rather
to
see
the
work
that
was
being
done
around
food
preparation.
Accordingly,
the
food
protocols
have
radically
changed.
You
don't
see
the
the
kind
of
lines
that
you
would
typically
see
in
the
past,
people
have
individualized
boxes,
I
saw
how
they
were
prepared.
I
saw
the
protocols
and
processes
that
were
in
place
to
prepare
those
boxes,
world
central
kitchen
for
being
a
leader
in
this
space,
incredible
work.
They
were
doing
seeing
that
firsthand.
B
H
Go
back
to
the
issue
about
the
counties
that
have
come
off
the
watch
list
because
I
mean
there's
several
million
californians
who
live
in
the
county
that
have
been
removed
from
that
watch
list
now
waiting
for
this
guidance.
You
talked
about
a
little
bit
more
earlier,
but
I
want
to
clarify
something
here.
You
said
we
don't
know
when
the
rules
are
coming
out
or
if
you
said
this
week,
I'd
like
you
to
clarify
that.
But
is
this
a?
H
Are
you
looking
to
craft,
something
that's
going
to
be
individualized
to
the
county,
or
is
it
a
uniform
process?
I
mean
one
of
those.
Maybe
is
why
it's
taking
so
long
there's
some
real
frustration
out
there.
So
I'm
hoping
you
can
address
what
people
should
expect
here,
there's
going
to
be
a
a
uniform
process
for
these
counties
or
it's
going
to
go
case
by
case
or
county
by
county
that
you're
crafting
here.
B
Yeah
we're
doing
it
this
week
we
made
tremendous
progress.
Last
week
we
had
some
very
constructive,
more
specific
and
prescriptive
conversations
this
weekend
and
that
will
be
forthcoming.
None
of
this
delays
this
fundamental
fact
there
has
to
be
a
14-day
period
between
the
application,
implementation
of
not
only
schools
but
reopening
any
sector
of
the
economy.
So
there's
no
delay
in
that
respect
for
these
counties
moving
forward,
but
we
are
moving
forward
this
week.
B
You
will
see
the
fruits
of
those
efforts
and
I
want
to
respect
the
process
that
we're
engaged
in
with
many
of
those
individuals
that
may
be
reaching
out
to
you
and
expressing
a
desire
to
see
those
things
come
to
light.
They,
I
think,
we're
very
pleased
by
the
progress
we
made
yesterday.
More
progress
will
be
made
in
the
next
couple
days,
we'll
be
getting
that
out
there
very
publicly
very
shortly.
I
B
I
think
more
appropriately
of
our
doctor,
your
doctor,
my
doctor,
the
head
of
health
and
human
services
pediatrician,
in
addition
just
to
having
title
doctor
who
can
answer
that
more
specifically,
what's
appropriate
for
smoke
as
well
as
covet
mitigation
and
then,
as
it
relates
to
the
special
session.
I've
said
this
in
the
past
I'll
hold
to
it
again
today.
If
we
feel
it's
necessary,
I'm
not
ideological
about
it
if
it's
necessary,
if
it
actually
solves
a
problem,
then
of
course
we're
open
to
considering
the
same.
J
Environment,
thank
you
governor.
Thank
you
for
the
question.
It's
an
excellent
question,
we're
sort
of
at
this
crossroads
where
we've
been
talking
about
surgical,
masks
and
n95s,
and
face
coverings
and
cloth
face
coverings,
which
really
do
do
a
wonderful
job,
with
covid,
reducing
our
risk
of
transmission
when
we're
out
and
about
in
communities
and
near
others,
and
the
evidence
there
is
pretty
strong
that
a
face
covering
cloth
face
covering
is
very
useful.
J
On
the
other
hand,
though,
it
doesn't
help
with
smoke
and
smoke
inhalation,
so
we're
sort
of
at
this
crossroads,
where
we
have
two
different
issues.
Similarly,
on
the
smoke
inhalation
side,
you'll
see
filtered
air
masks
which
allow
you
to
breathe
out,
but
not
necessarily
breathe
the
contents
in
and
those
help
in
wildfires
or
with
smoke
inhalation.
So
what
we
have
done
and
as
the
governor
has
mentioned,
I'll,
tell
you
what
we've
done
with
our
shelters,
the
congregate
shelters.
J
We
have
sent
surgical,
mass
and
n95s
to
those
shelters,
as
probably
the
best
solution
to
allow
us
to
both
reduce
covert
transmission
on
the
one
hand,
and
make
sure
that
we
don't
have
people
suffering
from
the
the
smoke
issues
and
the
air
quality
in
our
communities.
So
it's
a
tough
tough
issue
but
we're
working
to
get
supplies
of
what
the
state
has
in
terms
of
surgical,
mass
and
n95s
into
communities.
So
we're
not
just
left
with
what
we
had
been
with
the
cloth
face
coverings,
giving
given
the
air
quality
that
we
see
now.
G
G
B
Yeah
absolutely
and
a
couple
of
weeks
back
about
10
days,
or
so
we
put
out
our
guidelines
what
we
are
committed
to
doing
on
economic
recovery
in
the
state,
economic
growth.
We
put
out
specific
recommendations,
and
I
also
updated
you
and
public
on
where
the
legislature
and
our
recommendations
align
in
areas
of
agreement,
areas
that
we
were
working
towards
advancing
all.
I
can
say
in
the
middle
of
this
process
where
we
are
in
a
dynamic
phase
of
conversation
by
the
way,
including
on
the
eviction
question,
we're
making
real
progress
in
that
space.
B
And
certainly
we
will
have
a
very
busy
week
this
week
in
terms
of
accommodating
everybody's
needs
and
landing
where
we
hope
to
collectively
land
on
fundamentally
addressing
the
economic
anxiety
that
exists
and
persist
in
the
state,
particularly
the
need
to
embrace
our
small
businesses
and
to
make
sure
that
we're
doing
everything
in
our
power
to
jump
start
the
recovery
in
the
state.
I
was
encouraged
by
the
last
jobs
report.
