Gov. Gavin Newsom said Monday that the state’s positivity rate for coronavirus cases had dropped to 2. 8 percent by an average of two weeks, however, he presented a warning for Southern California counties, where some knowledge of the virus has increased. .
Newsom said the “R-cash” rate, or the rate that measures the spread rate of the virus, is highest in Southern California, founded on two groups of counties in the region. The rate measures the average number of others who are most likely to be ill with an inflamed person, with a rate of one or more indicating faster spread.
“While we’ve noticed a minimum triple in the total number of instances since our peak in mid-July, we see the first signs that those declines are going to decrease,” he said.
Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, Ventura, San Luis Obisbo and Kern counties together have an “R-cash” of 1. 02. Riverside, San Bernardino, Orange, San Diego and Imperial counties together have an “R-cash” of 0. 97.
The rate also rose to 0. 95 in the Bay Area, Newsom said. He described recent knowledge research as “some considerations and issues of optimism, all combined into one.
Across the state, there were 805,263 cases of coronavirus and 15,608 virus-related deaths.
Dr. Ghaly: Hospitalizations due to the virus in California could increase next month
COVID-19: They would possibly reopen nail salons in California, but they want county approval
Newsom on Monday called for continuous monitoring in the form of masks, physical estating, common hand washing and minimisation of mixing with other people from other households. According to him, following these protocols will allow businesses and schools to reopen more quickly.
Lately, California has 25 counties at the purple point, or the maximum restrictive point of the four-tier color-coded reopening framework in the state, adding counties with the most spread. There are 19 counties in the red dot, 11 at the orange dot and 3 in the yellow dot, indicating the point of advertising activity allowed.
Newsom said California Health and Human Services Secretary Dr. Mark Ghaly is expected to announce Tuesday that counties are making progress, adding some moving to the yellow level, for their weekly update.
Riverside County is expected to remain in the red category this week, while San Bernardino County has the ability to enroll for its neighbor in this reopening phase.
Red point cinemas, museums, zoos, aquariums, churches, gyms and indoor restaurants will open to partial capacity.
To determine whether a county can move on to the next phase, the state examines two parameters: positivity rate and case rate.
San Bernardino County remained in the black spot last week, which is the lowest point of the state’s reopening framework and requires stricter rules. However, its positivity rate reached 5. 7% last week and the county discovered six positive coronavirus patients consisting of 100,000 inhabitants. , however, the state adjusted that figure to 6. 7. Under its new system, the state’s fitness branch adjusts the county’s case rates to more or less than the average number of state tests.
These measures are red, San Bernardino County could advance on Tuesday if its numbers remained solid for more than seven days.
Riverside County will need to remain red for at least 3 weeks before moving to orange, allowing businesses to increase their occupancy rates.
Riverside County’s positivity rate reached 5. 8 percent last week, and the county recorded 5,8 cases consistent with 100,000 citizens last week, the state adjusted that figure to 6. 7.
To move to the orange level, Riverside County would like to document fewer than 4 new cases of COVID-19 consistent with 100,000 inhabitants in a seven-day moving average and report a positivity verification rate of between 2% and 4. 9% for two full weeks.
Riverside County Physical Status reported 754 new COVID-19 cases and 17 more virus-like deaths since Friday. There have now been 58,178 reported cases and 1,189 virus-like deaths in Riverside County.
San Bernardino County’s fitness on Monday reported 92 new coronavirus cases and no more virus-like deaths, bringing the county’s total number of cases to 54,482 cases and 925 deaths.
Newsom’s warnings about increased transmission echo past considerations raised through Ghaly, who said last week that an increase in cases appears to be due to Labor Day meetings and activities.
Other points may arise with the recent reopening of businesses and large wildfires that have forced evacuations and millions of others to replace their behavior due to unsafe air.
A short-term forecast predicts an 89% increase in COVID-19-related hospitalizations since the existing 2578, the lowest figure since early April, to just under 5,000 on October 25, Ghaly said.
Continuous monitoring of COVID-19 cases occurs when the state attempts a “twindemic” with the upcoming flu season. Newsom suggested others be vacued against influenza to protect themselves and others.
The governor soon walked away from the lectern at Monday’s press conference to get vaccinated against the flu, as an opportunity to demonstrate the “power and power” of the vaccine. He rolled up his Cal Fire shirt and joked about his biceps when he shot through a masked fitness professional with gloves.
People dressed in masks and physical distance also save him the transmission of influenza, not just coronavirus, Newsom said.
Newsom also announced a third investment for Project Homekey, the state’s long-term effort to combat homelessness in California. This week grants a total of $137 million for 19 projects with 938 sets in 15 jurisdictions.
“This is necessarily a new construction,” Newsom said Monday, “it’s a matter of innovation, of adaptation. “
Projects cover California cities and counties, including:
The 3rd circular investment adds to the $450 million already available state for more than 3,300 units.

Newsom said Monday that the state was also planning to invest another $200 million in Homekey’s allocation after officials discovered “unssigned” cash similar to COVID-19. This will allow the state to “approach” the removal of the waiting list for assignments that have been submitted, more than 20 additional allocations, pending approval through the Joint Legislative Budget Committee.
“You see innovation in each and every component of the state,” Newsom added. “You see in parts of the state that have not won from the state of California in the afterlife to invest and be part of local counties and jurisdictions of all kinds. . “
Newsom is also an update on the spread of wildfires in the state, as California is experiencing a record year even before chimney season arrives.
So far this year, California has experienced 8,136 fires that have burned more than 3. 7 million acres, up to 5,487 fires that burned a total of 157,000 acres in 2019, which is about 23. 5 times more acres burned so far, through the year. past.
So far, 26 and more than 7,100 structures have been destroyed as a result of the 2020 wildfires, Newsom reported.
Newsom added that there are more than 18,000 firefighters fighting wildfires, and progress is being made in some of the state’s resorts.
The creek chimney in Fresno and Wood has 39% containment and 306,000 acres, but remains a “persistent fireplace” that persists due to millions of dead trees and historical drought situations in Array.
But as Santa Ana’s winds are expected to cross Southern California and warm, dry weather, Newsom said the state is tracking conditions.
“We remain vigilant and this remains a precedent in this state,” he said.
