California Governor Gavin Newsom urges Californians’ to Wear Masks to slow the spread of COVID-19 during his Wednesday June 24 2020 Facebook Live Press Conference.
Governor Newsom urgently tells California that “We are not out of our first Wave.(COVID-19 Pandemic). It is a deadly virus.”
California saw the highest increase in a single day of COVID-19 cases since cases started being reported in March 2020. 7,149 new cases of COVID-19 were reported on Tuesday June 23 2020.
Governor Newsom pleaded with Californians’ to wear a mask when he said, “We are seeing a new increase in spread with our economy opening up. Wear a Mask. Please. Do it not only for yourself, but for others. Be responsible.”
Governor Newsom commented on officials who have pushed back on California’s Mandated COVID-19 Guidelines. “Some have made rhetorical comments about not giving a damm. Flouting any conserdiation of supporting the broader health directives coming out of the state of California.” “I think the vast majority of local officials care deeply about their community. They want people to self enforce.”
If local officials do not enforce the California Mandated COVID-19 Health Directives the Governor is prepared to enforce the orders.
The State of California mandates that people wear masks that cannot socially distance when in public.
Newsom stated that, “We are looking for Accountability at the local level. 2.5 Billion Dollars of the new Budget is conditioned on Counties meeting their criteria for the Emergency Declaration related to COVID-19.”
California can enforce California Health Directives through regulatory agencies and through monetary means.
He will be allocating the COVID-19 Emergency funding on a monthly basics.
Funding could be stopped if local agencies do not comply with California Health Directives.
California State Agencies could be used to help enforce the Health Care Agency Directives.
Agencies like CA OSHA that regulate the workplace and the CA ABC that regulate the sale of alcoholic beverages would be used to help achieve public health directives compliance.
