Watch: Gov. Gavin Newsom shares some good news on California’s COVID reopening
Gov. Gavin Newsom provided an update on California’s yearlong fight against the COVID-19 crisis at 11 a.m. today.
The update came a day after Newsom announced on Twitter that California boasts the lowest coronavirus positivity rate in the country. The state’s seven-day positivity rate is 1.6%, according to a Monday update from the California Department of Public Health.
California has already administered close to 20 million doses of the COVID-19 vaccine, including 4 million in the state’s most underserved communities that have been hard hit by the pandemic.
