Sports arenas mass into ghost towns. She said the sacrifices, though, are flattening the curve. The shelterinplace order and other actions that we have collectively taken have helped slow things down, and so we dont look like it looks in other places in the country, where the infections have grown exponentially. Infection are not growing exponentially here. Reporter but the cases are still growing. Santa clara county has had 42 deaths. 17 new cases reported today, and 3 new deaths. But the key difference is the number of new cases is not surpassing the countys ability to hospitalize and provide the best occasion for patients. We have capacity in our hospital beds, in our icu beds and with our ventilator supply. However, its still so important that we each do everything that we can to reduce our contact with each other, so that we continue to slow the spread. So that when one of us needs that ventilator, well be able to have access to it. I asked the doctor if she anticipates lifting the shelter in place order anytime soon. She did not give a special answer on that, but she did say that in places where this has been around the world, you risk a rebound if you lift a shelter inplace order without some other type of order in place to handle the new cases. So she does not anticipate anyone lifting that shelterin place in the nine bay area counties. Also this evening, Governor Newsom said its working. The state in good enough shape right now that he can ship away 500 ventilators to help other states. Andria borba said that is thanks to area businesses.

Noreen king said the company will start with 15 vents a day, and ramp up to 10,000 a week. So about every minute and a half, we want one to come off our line, go into test, and again come off and go into shipping. Reporter manufacturing transitions like this are among the reasons that the governor felt comfortable shipping off 500 ventilate inventories the national stockpile. It earned him praise from president trump. And i want to thank governor gavin newsom who is doing tremendous job, who has announced that california will send 500 ventilators to be distributed to other locations. Reporter those ventilators from california will get allocated to hardhit states like new york. Californias supply of vent laters has increased from 7500 to more than 11,000 in recent weeks. That has put less strain and pressure on the states effort to procure additional ventilators. Make no mistake, though, we are full force going around the world to procure even more ventilators, and continue to work with companies on bridge ventilators. Reporter newsom said californias staying at home helped inform his decision. We looked at conditions on the ground, and we feel confident in our capacity to meet our needs as we pport the needs of others. Reporter now in addition to all of those things that you just heard, in his News Conference this afternoon, Governor Newsom actually said he expects in the next day, possibly two, yet another 500 ventilators for california to come online.
