California 20 march Friday goes into lockdown in battle with coronavirus news
California is now on lockdown after Gov. Gavin Newsom ordered the state’s residents to stay home, except for essential activities.
They are the most sweeping measures in the United States so far, as coronavirus cases in the United States move past 14,000.
These interventions are a recognition that the crisis in the United States is still growing. Yet a new poll finds that a majority of Americans 55 percent approve of Trump’s handling of the crisis.
For its part, China says it went for the second day in a row without recording any new local transmissions of the coronavirus. Elsewhere, Italy now has reached a grim marker: The most coronavirus deaths outside of China, with more than 3,400, as the crisis rages in Europe.
On Thursday night, California Governor Gavin Newsome issued a stay order to all 40 million residents of the state. The order expands on what was already happening in places like the Bay Area, and Los Angeles adopted similar living regulations by Newsom just before its announcement.
Newsom said the order will remain in force indefinitely, as California's health care system is ready for the influx of patients. In a letter to President Donald Trump, the governor said California could diagnose about 56 percent of its population with Kovid-19, the formal name of the disease caused by the novel coronavirus, over the next eight weeks - in other words, more More than 25 million people. The purpose of these latest living rules is to prevent that terrible scenario from happening.
Under the order, residents are asked to stay inside except for necessary work or travel, including going to the grocery store, pharmacy or bank. People can still go to restaurants to pick up food and roam outside as long as they practice responsible social disturbances.
“We’re going to keep the grocery store open,” Newsom said Thursday. “We’re going to make sure that you’re getting critical medical supplies. You can still walk your dog, you can still pick up food at one of our distribution centers, at a restaurant, at a drive-thru all those things we will still be able to do. You can still take your kids outside, practicing common sense and social distancing.”
California first introduced the most rigorous measurement of any state, but that is changing. On Friday, Governor Andrew Cuomo said he was issuing an executive order stating that only essential businesses could function, asking "non-essential" workers to stay home. Pharmacists, grocery stores, and more will not be closed, and they told people to stay indoors whatever is possible. The order will come into effect from Sunday evening.
