Sacramento, CA — The Governor of California says the state is “turning a corner” in the right direction as it continues to deal with the coronavirus pandemic.
Governor Gavin Newsom says hospitalizations have fallen by 21-percent over the past two weeks, which he says is encouraging. ICU admissions are down 15-percent over that same time period. Yesterday there were just over 5,400 new cases reported in the state. Last month, during the peak, there were over 12,000 new cases in a single day.
Newsom is encouraging Californians to continue to practice social distancing, good hygiene and wearing masks when in public settings.
