On the current "California Blueprint for a Safer Economy", 10 counties are in the strictest purple layer, 20 counties are in the red layer, 19 counties are in the orange layer, and 9 counties are in the loosest yellow layer.
Newsom said that California has definitely seen the arrival of the "second wave" of the epidemic.
With the massive increase in patients, California has established a "stricter, not based on political emergencies, but based on data" hierarchical structure. Facts show that this mechanism is beneficial to the state government's anti-epidemic work.
Newsom said that California recorded 7,212 new cases of new crown in one day on the 8th, and the average number of new cases in the past week was 5889.
Newsom specifically mentioned the issue of inpatients and hospital capacity.
In California, there are currently 3,001 people hospitalized due to the new crown, a 28.6% increase from 2,334 14 days ago, accounting for 4% of all beds.
In addition, in the past 14 days, the number of patients admitted to the intensive care unit due to the new crown has risen from 659 to 839.
Speaking of the distribution of the new crown vaccine, Newsom said that first-line medical and rescue personnel will be vaccinated first.
He also mentioned: "Before most people get the vaccine, we may have to face the most severe months of the new coronavirus pandemic." He predicted: "We may see that these vaccines will not be until April 2021. After that, it will be distributed on a large scale."
