FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) Many Valley counties are now one step closer to the red tier, after state health officials announced changes to the metrics for moving out of the purple.
They previously had to have 7 cases or fewer per 100,000 people. But now they re allowed to have up to 10.
Fresno County currently sits at 12.6, but Interim Health Officer Dr. Rais Vohra says that could change by next week. It will be easier for us to move in the red tier. My fingers are crossed that that will happen that soon, he says.
SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) After California s statewide stay-at-home order was lifted on Monday, nurses, medical professionals, and some lawmakers are questioning the decision, saying it s coming too early. The pandemic is still here, it is still real, we have a lot of patients that are very very sick! said Zenei Triunfo-Cortez, a registered nurse at Kaiser Permanente in South San Francisco, who is president of the California Nurses Association. She is calling the decision to lift the stay-at-home order premature. I have been a nurse for 40 years and I have never seen so many patients die in my career, says Triunfo-Cortez, whose thoughts are even echoed by some democratic lawmakers like State Senator Steven Glazer.
