With nearly 300. I want to state a friend some of the trendlines that continue. Great caution and concern here. We are continuing to see hospitalizations arise in the state and we are continuing to see a modest increase in icu and the number of beds represented by icu patients throughout the state. We continue to experience increase in the rate of positivity here in the states of california. I will go through those very detailed terms in a moment but just to remind you our approach to addressing this issue going back many, many months. On multiple occasions, we modif mode of the original stayat so utilizing what is commonly referred to as a dimmer switch and not an on and off switch. The point was to make the point that as data, trendlines and as the experience of reopening different parts of the state with people beginning to mix in different parts of the state begin to manifest, different conditions would present themselves and as a consequence, we wanted to be prepared for the conditions based on the trendlines and data and the science to modify our stayathome order subsequently. Meaning, not on the open economy or off shutdown but a dimmer switch looking at conditions throughout the nations most populous state as they present themselves as the trendlines become points of concern before they become headlines. It is a consequence of increased Positivity Rate and increased in hospitalizations and icus raised upon the predicate and the foundation we laid on utilizing a dimmer switch. Today, we are announcing additional actions as it relates to the stayathome order here in the state of california. We are now effectively aura today requiring all counties to close their indoor activities, indoor operations in the following sectors. Restaurants, wineries, tasting rooms, movie theaters, Family Entertainment centers, zoos, museums, cardrooms and all bars and this is in every county in the state of california. Not just the counties that were on the monitoring list that we announced on july 1. This is a new statewide action effective today. Every county in the state of california impact by the requirement now to modify indoor operations and to expand opportunities for outdoor operations in these specific categories that you see on the screen. Also, we are announcing effective immediately, all the counties on the county monitoring list and i will show you that list, and updated list in just a moment. All the counties on the updated monitoring list, we are directing to close indoor operations in additional sectors. The sectors that we are closing statewide restaurants, wineries, movie theaters, Family Entertainment, zoos and museums, cardrooms and bars to Outdoor Activities to the extent possible and is now with counties on the monitoring list we have this list. Fitness centers, places of worship, offices for noncritical sect tours, personal Care Services including hair salons and barbershops and indoor malls. These are sect tours to close indoor operations in counties that are on the monitoring list to include these additional sectors. That you see on the list that we provided. We remind you that the monitoring list is one that we hold very closely and we monitor every county in the state that we provide additional Technical Assistance to the counties that you see on the list. The counties you see on the list total 30 and we are today announcing four additional counties that have come onto the list. Plaster county, sonoma, setter and yuba county. These counties in total represent 80 of the population in the state of california and i made this point very clear many weeks ago and we introduced the monitoring list to all of you that it is a dynamic list. Depending on the criteria that was established on the front end and the ability to mitigate trendlines and mitigate spread and hospitalizations and the like. We anticipate over the next few days a number of other counties based on the trends to be entering onto this list. Last monday to put into perspective, we had 23 counties on this list and today, 30 counties on the list for additional counties placed over the weekend. I anticipate the list, at least two counties in next day or two to be included in this list. In these counties, we have added , i will toggle back, a requirement that we close indoor operations, indoor operations for these sectors that you see on the list personal Care Services from indoor malls, worship services, Fitness Centers and the like. As it relates to the total number of cases we are experiencing here in the state of california, yesterday the latest reporting period, 8358 cases and again i am attending to disproportionately encourage you to focus on the sevenday trends and average as the numbers can go up and down and they can mislead and generate headline. The sevenday averages which is 14 days is even better, the sevenday average you see the sevenday is 8211, yesterday a little above the sevenday average. Last week at this time to print it put it in perspective in the 23 counties and the monitor list now 30, last week the sevenday average was 7876. So you see the sevenday average trending upwards. What has trended down since the beginning are reporting. Back in early april a total Positivity Rate i will remind you again the total number of tests performed and the percentage of people that test positive. Positivity rate. It was originally very high as symptomatic people were going out and getting their tests. Now that we are providing an average of over 107,000 tests on a daily basis and not just the 2000 tests that we were providing on a daily basis in april. You see a positivity number increase but the Positivity Rate has now settled in around 7. 4 . Specifically over a 14 day period, 7. 4 over a seven day period and that number is at 7. 7 . 14 day Positivity Rate in the state of california and 7. 4 , a sevenday average number of tests conducted over and for what its worth yesterday we tested over 137,000 people. If you round up more appropriately, 130,000 people. As it relates to the positivity test rate we want to take a closer look and you will see where we were a few weeks ago at 6. 1 and now it is 7. 4 and it represents a 21 increase in the test Positivity Rate of over a twoweek period. Accordingly, as we see the Positivity Rates increase and i say it often that you will see an indicator of hospitalizations begin to increase and we see hospitalization numbers increase 28 over two week period. That is a little bit better than the 50 that we presented to you one week or so ago. Over twoweek period last year we saw 50 increase and we are seeing modest reduction in the rate of growth in hospitalizations and that is why the 28 twoweek period is more representative in the slide with an increase in total number of people hospitalized. I will remind is always the hospital care system is not just licensed beds but also alternative care sites that for the purposes of clarity and consistency you will see the slide, some of you may be very familiar with it, total number of licensed beds and total number of patients hospitalized with covid19 here in the state of california and that number again 6485 represents 8. 7 of the total number of individuals hospitalized utilizing licensed hospital beds in our health care system. So we round up to 9 last week at this time it was a little above 8 and trended up to a 0. 7 in todays reporting period and is hospitalizations go up we will seek icu admissions begin to increase and you will see in the slide 1833 individuals admitted in our icus and that represents a 20 increase over a twoweek period and last week it was 39 so hospitals reported last week over two week period a 50 and icus up over 39 and today hospitals over twoweek period, 28 and with. A similahospitalization a number of icus. Total capacity in the Critical Care system for icus, 16 of the total number of icu patients represented in all of our total icu and nicu beds and last week it was around 15 . You see a plus or 15 to 16 represented here is the total number of ventilators available still north of 10,000. We were consistently above 11,000 on the ventilators available and that is something to watch and we continue to draw down purchasing additional ventilators and we have been in Constant Contact with fema and the federal partners about what the National Stockpile ventilators looked like and its important thing to do at this stage because as i remind you consistently and i will do it again today that the numbers we present to you are in the aggregate with the subtotal of all local numbers. None of us live in the aggregate and we leaves live somewhere in the state of california and there are parts of the state that are in need of additional ventilators. Around Imperial County and the reason we are moving forward today with additional in terms of the opening beginning to dip down again as we are starting to see in some rural parts of the state and increase in icu use that is generating some concern. And plaster county and dubuque county, icu capacity is now limited south of 20 capacity and we have mutual capacity with the with a systemic approa we share assets and resources and we have done that in imperial bring in ventilators down when you start to see it in multiple counties and in late county and in addition to plaster county and in addition to be county and we you start to see some constraint in terms of icu beds and additional increased use and utilization of ventilators and it draws our attention and bears a consequence the consequence being the data driving the decision to utilize the dimmer switch. And that is fundamenta we are moving forward with what i led within this presentation and one thing that i think it is important to remind all of you is that the virus is not going away anytime soon. I hall hope all of us recognize that if we are still connected to some notion that when it gets warm that it will go away or somehow it will take summer months or weekends off, the virus has done neither. Weve seen parts of the country with very hot including humid weather and we have seen an increase in Positivity Rates and an increase in hospitalizations and icu with triple digit weather and many parts of the state and see an increase in the posisee an incr of the virus. Soberly that covid19 is not going away anytime soon and there is a vaccine and or an effective therapy and again, i focus on effective therapies because on the therapeutic side the state is leading the nation and in many respects the world in terms of the advanced trials that are being done and as the birthplace of life science and biotech, we are very proud of our innovation into space and the capacity to develop partnerships with Universities Research and development in federal labs and the like as well as the private sector and the ingenuity. A lot is happening in this space and we have an Advisory Group that is focused on therapeutics and they are consistently offering us rays of optimism and i just want to share that because i know that we look to the vaccines and we see the vaccines are unlikely at scale to be procured and administered and distributed in a way that does justice not only to the state but the nation and world. But there are some interesting opportunities to advance therapeutics and mitigate more the morbidity and not just the mortality of the disease and i will be focusing on socializing that a little bit more by inviting air members of the Advisory Committee to make a public presentation to share with you some of the insight very shortly. Which ive been looking forward to doing and i want to make sure the presentation is ready and we are not providing you a false sense of optimism and were organizing that as we are the testing update which will be forthcoming. Tomorrow the doctor will be presenting our new reconstituted Testing Task Force with the two new cochairs of the task force coming from a Record Number of tests conducted and this is includes schools for Good Strategies for employers and strategies for effectively targeting in a much smarter and more efficient way the testing sites in terms of testing deserts, Diverse Communities and vulnerable populations and also looking at issues of cost associated with testing so it is a more sustainable model and we can build on the success that we have had over the course of the last three months. As always, i want to remind you dont mix with people outside of your household. The data suggest not everybody is practicing common sense and if you do mix, it is so important that you take the mixing outside and that is the spirit of the presentation youre looking at moving a lot of these activities that are happening inside restaurants and moving those activities outside and the impact of the spread of the virus outside and we believe it is more favorable than mixing with individuals for an extended period of time and cohorts for an extended period of time inside you dont have the air circulation and we have seen based upon Contact Tracing and examples across not only the state but the country in the world, and increasing concentration of an increase in positivity and spread of this virus. As always, i want to impress upon you the importance of wearing a mask and Face Covering. What more evidence do you need then nations that have taken the bold leadership of acquiring nationwide Wearing Masks and Face Coverings and they are much better off than unfortunately our country. As a consequence, we encourage you and the state encourages you to wear a mask, Face Covering and continue to practice physical distancing in your coming into contact with strangers or people outside of your household and continue to practice appropriate hygiene, washing your hands and the like. Let me close by soberly saying that we lost another 23 lives to this pandemic in the last day , 23 human beings, family members have lost loved ones and they are torn apart and thats a reminder of the deadliness of this disease is 72 individuals on saturday that lost their lives. And so i want to remind you that not only are people getting covid19, not only are we seeing people transmit this disease but we are also continuing to see lives lost. Some of those numbers go up, last week north of 100 lives lost and dont be fooled. I respectfully say this not because im hoping for this but quite the contrary. One has to be honest and forthright and it may be on the lower end but i would remind you when week or so ago i was reporting six lives lost in a few days later in excess of 100 lives lost. This continues to be a deadly disease and it continues to be a disease that puts people in icus, hospitals and is currently putting a strain on our Hospital System and in our icus. The good news is we have over 300 million masks, n95 procedure masks in our current state stockpile. Hundreds of millions being distributed over the last three months with hundreds of millions more distributed and are being distributed in real time as we build up our ppe. More capacity and resource plans, protocols and procedures processing throughout the state of california and in different parts of the state, alternative care facilities and healthcare personnel that we have been able to identify as critical and additional Healthcare Resources to provide levels of expertise and there may be mismatches as part of healthcare and all of these things including the cohort are over 10,000 people trained in the Contact Tracing core and all of our annotate just in terms of meeting banks had lawn head on and allowing us to navigate through this after a little bit of the headwinds as it relates to a resurgence of sorts in this first wave of the pandemic. So again, dimmer switch is being utilized a little bit more forcefully and continuing to be targeted in those areas on the monitoring list traditional sectors that now brought in throughout the state of california as we see more and more counties entering the monitoring and more and more people now going from one county to the other nicu and hospitalization co resenting themselves particularly in rural parts of number of positives that have been identified that should not mask the availability of appropriate levels of hospital resources which again have precipitated in the decision that we are announcing and advancing today. With that, as always, im happy to take any questions and again, i want to thank everybody for continuing to endure what i know is a very challenging and difficult period of time. We were able to suppress the spread of this virus and we knocked down the growth of this in the beginning and we are going to do that again. There is no doubt in my mind. But at the same time, that cannot happen by demanding something of you. I want to encourage you to do what you know needs look at sectors of the economy that reinforce the mandate of focus that we are doing just that but we will get through this and let me again thank each and everyone of you from the bottom of my heart for your perseverance, patience and recognition but also for the collective reckoning for the virulence of the virus and in equity of the virus in our need to maintain her vigilance. And continue to do the good work that we have done as a state over an extended period of time so we can work through this and get to the other side more resilient and capable than ever. Hello, governor i have young kids and im curious as to what kind of guidance you guys are going to be giving the school district, its a real mix right now and it feels like its indoor activity that may not be safe and im curious as to how much the state is having to weigh in since its such a hodgepodge right now . A number of months ago we put out guidance for our schools and i encourage you and others to go to covid19. Ca. Gov website and you will see the guidance that we put out through our department of Public Health and you will see as well what cde put out, the department of education put out different counties with local Health Guidelines and officials working in partnership with the superintendent of Public Schools based on the conditions on the ground making recommendations and as he saw that in play today both la Unified School District as well as san diego and they are going to go into the fall School Season the way they ended last school year. And that is by utilizing distancelearning and until we deal with the background rate of infections and contextualizing the schools and where they are operating in the communities that are being impacted by rates of growth, positivity and spread of the virus. I want to acknowledge and applaud the leadership of those districts for leaning in and recognizing the responsibility at this moment to give the children, not just their children but caregivers in the system the opportunity to begin to make plansthe Digital Divide by half over the course of the last five months. Halfway is not all the way and so we still have an enormous amount of work to do and its also a reminder as some of the districts make determinations based upon background infection rates and based upon their own physical constraints and criteria that we have districts that are not Unified School Districts and some are just high School Districts versus middle School Districts and the like and each district is unique and distinctive with over 1000 districts in the state of california. When we work through the different constraints and criteria utilizing the cdc guidelines and the cde guidelines, department of education at the state level and our own Health Guidelines and partnership with locals, meet the needs and these respective districts. And that is why we put up 5. 3 billion in the budget to allow for the ability to procure assets and to allow for distancelearning and to make sure that we have the resources to continue to do more to close the divide and to keep our children and our teachers, janitors, bus drivers and all of those remarkable people from secretaries, principles that make our School Systems work to keep them safe as well. We will continue to modify based upon changing conditions and for the purposes of your question, a little bit of a preview on friday, i signed off on some Additional Guidance tha respect that is currently being socialized in the system over the weekend and today around masks, Contact Sports and around choir and around busing of our kids keeping them safe and around furthering our efforts around distancelearning and how to make sure that we are addressing the divide and social and emotional concerns. Obviously they are a big part of distancelearning and mitigated in terms of socialization of our kids when they are physically present in schools and i will remind you that two things are nonnegotiable. The Childrens Health and the essential importance of educating our children. To me then and not in or and i did not want to just apply austin who has been working closely with the state and not just the county and los angeles and the team in san diego for the decision. Just to follow up on schools, i understand that its a local decision but the youre the leader of the pandemic and indoor activities are dangerous for everything else, why would schools be okay . And what if anything will the state do to step in if districts choose to return to and classroom learning . We report on the budget and i think its important that folks take a closer look at the language of the fine. 3 5. 3 billion we put up in the statutory language and not just the guidance. As it relates to our expectations. Youre absolutely right. We are monitoring this in real time as i made very clear in the last answer, over the course of the last number of days we have made decisions to further strengthen the guidelines based upon increased growth and rate of spread. If thats not leading to a conclusion that you should anticipate even more and i would say that it should encourage you to believe that we will be leaning in even further. Im well aware of my responsibilities and well aware again, i want to caution people that this is unlike any other state in the nation in terms of the scope and scale. Six 6 million children that we are responsible for in the Education System and different cohorts of children high school students, middle, elementary and preschool components in pre k components that are all part of the consideration in each district stands unique and distinct in terms of the physical designs and physical assets and contextualizing some parts of the state that have not had substantial Community Spread and that background spread of the virus has to be contextualized as well. Youre correct in your question looking at the local nature of the way we design our system of education here, k12 education in the state. That is a bottomup approach but we certainly will be asserting and have been asserting ourselves for a number of months in terms of the guidance weve been putting out and the statutory language thats in the budget related to School Funding and that is also demonstrable example of leamy man in terms of the expectations in the state. But again the dynamic nature of the spread of the virus and it means you will hear a lot more in the next few days. And presumably weeks as we get closer to the opening of the school year. Hello, governor rick i seem youll be talking to the subject of testing strategy tomorrow with the doctor but could you address the issue of availability. We are starting to see a harder situation for people on the ground and people are talking about waiting weeks. I spoke with the woman ats testing site who basically a threeweek lag between finding out she had been exposed to someone who tested positive and actually being able to get tests. From going to pop up sites that ran out of test and scheduling appointments and she has done a pretty wide search going as far scheduling testing one hour away from where she lives and we hear similar stories out there. Can you just discuss what Testing Capacity is like at this point and what people can expect Going Forward and also the basic fundamental of when we were talking about three weeks from the time youre find the time you tests and the like of getting results and it will be about one month when its all said and done to know whether this woman is positive. And how is that effective at all . I would encourage everybody that wants to access a test to go to the covid19. Ca. Gov website. You can pull down and type in your zip code which will give you a map of the most proximate testing sites in your area and we have been working over to go from an average of 2000 tests per day to just over 90 days ago and now you saw we are running at a record rate, more tday period. Over 107,000 tests on average per day over the last week and 137 and almost 138,000 tests conducted yesterday and i made this abundantly clear on many occasions and i will do it again today when hundred 37,000 tests adequate to meet the needs of the population as large of ours. Its unacceptable in this nation and in this state that we are not in a position to be doing even larger scale testing that all of us have been very aggressively promoting and trying to manifest. We announced a task force a number of months ago when we were averaging 2000 tests a day and we were able to reach some stretch goals, goals we set out to 60,000 to get to 80,000 as a stretch goal of tests that we conducted on a daily basis and we targeted and referred to the testing deserts all throughout the state of california and we also targeted the Diverse Communities within urban settings that were also under resourced. Not just in rural parts of the state but also even in dense popular parts of the state in certain communities were not getting tested and we have seen marked improvement. I made it clear one week ago that the task force had done not only an admirable job, i believe an outstanding job and i complemented the two cochairs and amounts we would be announcing two cochairs and thank you for acknowledging that tomorrow the doctor will be making a presentation announcing two new Task Force Members and addressing exactly the concern that youre bringing up as a relates to access issues that remain stubborn and issues related to supplies that once again are presenting themselves particularly in the pcr tests as it relates to transport media , viral collection and the ability to get swabs and the questions with longstanding concerns and we are continuing now and we see a scale of testing happening and we are starting to see constraints including time to test results and we have seen a real marked improvement for a number of months and now we are starting to see delays once again in terms of the testing results. Your example is twofold. Of someone who may have had a difficult time accessing a test and after they get tested to have a difficult time being patient and waiting for the test results and thats exactly what the doctor will be discussing tomorrow, the new strategy and new approach and new partnerships that we are do and we will do something again as it relates to different capacitive Building Partnerships and the different approach that he will be highlighting in detail tomorrow. Hello, governor. The governor answering questions from reporters at his News Conference, big news coming out of sacramento. The governor slamming the door shut on indoor operations for hundreds if not thousands of businesses across the golden state. The governor often referring to his dimmer switch opening back up with businesses having to pull back and some may argue with the move that he is ineffectively switching the switch off no more life for many businesses who cannot survive on Outdoor Dining. Specifically if you miss the top of the News Conference the governor said all must close indoor operations specifically for restaurants, wineries, bars, movie th, zoos. The San Francisco zoo opened up today but not anymore museums and more specifically all counties on the state watchlist and this is 30 counties and we are talking about seven of the nine counties , San Francisco and san mateo not on this specific list but for those that are, gyms, places of worship, indoor malls must also down the indoor operations. The governor saying the reason he made the call is the numbers continue to rise, not only the number of people infected with the hospitalizations continue to rise as well as a number of people in the icu. We continue to take a look at that and trying to figure out where we go from here and that has been the big issue as he looks ahead and talking about trends going down and the rate percentagewise and he called it marginally better and they are not going up as fast but we are not sure where the trend holds that people need to start gathering in groups of more than 10 and 12 and thats why he is shutting so many Unanswered Questions when you talk about schools and how we move forward it is a lot to think about. That is the very latest from the governor. We are streaming it for you on your website and we will have more news after the break. It is morning and we know that you want coffee. But we also know that, when it comes to money you want to. Not spend any. Thats why 7eleven has 7 cups free with 7rewards. You get the drip coffee you want. For the no money you want. Coffee. No money. 7 times. Is that what you want . Oh, we know. Because we are 7eleven. And we might know you better than you know yourself. 7eleven. Always open.

Dr. Anthony fauci, one of the nations top Infectious Disease experts took part in a virtual fireside chat event the Stanford University school of medicine. He had blunt warnings about the spread of the coronavirus and he said that in the absence of a safe and effective vaccine, the best way to slow the virus is to keep people separated. He attributed the current surgeon cases to the United States not having shut down completely to stop outbreaks of the disease. We started to come down and we plateaued at a level that was really quite high about 20,000 infections a day. Then as we started to reopen, we are seeing the searches that we are seeing today as we speak. In california, in arizona, texas , florida and several other states.

It was recently targeted a mural in martinez supporting the black lives movement and racist showed up in the downtown area. I learned there is a lot of bigots in my community. I learned that defeating racism is a community effort. We keep going and pushing dialogue and keep pushing for policy change and accountability. This is a nationwide reform that needs to happen so black lives are safe in this country. Police from across the bay area were called to martinez due to concerns of a large counter demonstration with possible violence but there were no major problems.
