GOVERNOR SAYS MASKS AND DISTANCING DETERMINE HOW QUICKLY WE REOPEN

Governor Gavin Newsom stressed Monday that the actions of residents across the state will determine how quickly the state reopens during the coronavirus pandemic.

Newsom has continuously advocated for the use of masks and face coverings and the need for physical distancing as the pandemic has worn on, encouraging residents that certain activities like in-person schooling and indoor dining are not feasible if people flout the state’s public health guidelines.

The state continues to see an aggregate rise in positive cases and hospitalizations due to the coronavirus as counties started to reopen at the outset of summer. An average of nearly 9,000 people per day tested positive for the coronavirus over the last week. The state’s positive test rate continues to hover around 7.5 percent despite an average of more than 120,000 tests being completed each day.
