We begin the process to more robustly track, trace, and isolate quarantined individuals that contracted the covid19, the disease, and or have been somehow impacted or associated with those that might be. We want to update you on the tracing technology that were putting into place, some of the training that will be advancing some of the recruitment that were doing to build a work force to build an army so that we can meaningfully modify the stay at home order. The st home orand somel today ans we to ke adjuments lar this weand then well talk broadly about series of updates that relate to our efforts, to contain the virus moreover to be prepared for the next phase as we begin to modify the stay at home order. Let me begin by focusing on a new partnership that we have advanced with ucsf and ucla. Ucsf and ucla will be providing a virtual economy for a recruitment effort and training effort for new tracers and these are simply diseased detectives that will be trained to support the existing work force that exist throughout the state of california to begin the process of advancing a y inour regime that will current capacity. Ill backup and explain what i mean by that specifically. Currently every county in the state of california does some form of tracing. Weve been doing tracing as it relates to disease, Infectious Disease for years and years and years for decades, stds, misuse of hiv and aids going back to tb, measles and others tracing capacity. Weve been doing a lot. When we started the press conferences, i would announce the number of people under investigation not just in our icus and our hospitals but these are people that came on commercial flights from points of the globe, primarily at the time from asia that county Health Officials were tracking and respecting privacy and tracking from a Disease Control perspective. All counties have this tracing capacity in place. The question is how do you scale it so that we can include covid19. 23 counties currently are actively tracing. Again, all counties have a tracing component. 23 counties are actively tracing covid19 patients. Those that are positive, trying to figure out who theyve come in contact with and if they test positive to do the same and so on and so on. Begin to isolate individuals quarantined individuals is, this is all foundational. So that we can more quickly move to modify our stay at home order and tracing again, includes a work force of about 3,000 people today. 2845 individuals to be exact. Its primarily conducted at the local level. 58 counties but 61 Health Directors or Health Programs in the state of california. Interestingly long beach, pass dina, and berkeley have their own unique status. I dont want to go down that rabbit hole except that were working with 61 different agencies and they have to some degree tracing capacity. What were doing is now working with them. In partnership with ucsf. In partnership with ucla to have an online trading economy to increase their work force capacity and again, roughly 3,000 people. To provide the capacity to train upwards of 3,000 people a week to go through two phases in terms of building an army and a work force. Ten thousand being our first phase coal goal and 20,000 our second phase. First phase, 10,000. Second phase an additional ten thousand. Building off existing base of 3,000. A Virtual Training economy that will include 12 hours of online instruction and eight hours of in person construction in the United States and ucsf and ucla. The first training goes online on wednesday and this is 20 hour courses and 12 hours online and eight hours in person and the ability to scale this is about 3,000 per week and first phase call about 10,000 into that work force. Get the training economy right and the curriculum and current protocols will meet the exact needs of our counties and when i say meet the needs of our counties, this is a state led effort where well provide the resource where is we believe most of the resources come from the federal government as theyre tracinpport is prescribedrw rough thstate with fema reimbursements or emergency dollars but well provide the supports to the counties but itll be county led and its foundational and the counties are the experts and counties have been doing this and provide the flexibility but theyll all feed into ondata base and theres integration and capacity for information sharing in realtime. The anchor or the two you see and this work force that is a surge work force that comes from existing employees that we can redeploy at the county level and existing paid state employees that can be re deployed at the state level. Cal hr, our Human Resource team has been identifying individuals that we believe have the right kind of background, cultural sensitivity, cultural competency and Language Skills and a health mindset, weve been scouring that work rc and we believe the ability of having well beyond the capacity that will be interested in the training. If we dont, well supplement that and were confident for phase one we do. Well supplement that by finding additional recruits, recruits for this effort. All of our agencies are doing the work to cohort starts getting trained this wednesday and all is important and i think its good news. Important because this allowstous move forward with some modifications of our stay at home order. I made a point a few weeks back that we needed to improve our testing as a predicate. Testing tracing and we tend to use those handinhand and testing is taking off and averaging over 30,000 test as day and were over 768. Roughly 768,000 tests that have beonducted been reportedthis s lieve therestil subsnts ing aaski getting and thtesting is simply scaling where we hoped this would all be over the last seven days of tests and over the last 30,000 tests a day and testing is like the backbone but the tracing component requires a work force, requires an element of coordination and collaboration building on the existing county supports and building capacity through this virtual economy will substantially help aid our efforts as dr. Angel will talk about to identify individuals that have tested positive, to identify their contacts with privacy first always with the health frame and then begin the process as required to isolate individuals and quarantine individuals so they dont impact and infect other people. Again, dr. Angel will talk more about this in a moment, but i want to also tee up this second point. That is the movement into the second phase about a week ago, in fact it was a week ago today, i said were looking into moving into a second phase and on friday were days not weeks away nothat movement into a second phase. Today, we are announcing our efforts to update our stay at home guidelines and begin the process of moving into phase two. That process begins later this week. On thursday the 7, well begin the guidelines. If theyre met and modifications are made, people can reopen with those modifications in these particular sectors as early as friday. E ne be in the difications, place before we can move into that second phase but it could begin as early as the end of this week. Lorisessing to medium to low risk to medium and higher risk. Lower risk is again the frame around this phase two and lodef Retail Sector and making adjustments this week in the Retail Sector for pickups and for all of the associated logistics and manufacturing related to retail. Let me be more precise about what i mean about retail. As early as the end of this week, you will have the capacity as a retailer with the modifications and guidelines we set forth on thursday to begin to reopen for pickup, clothing, bookstores, music, toys, Sporting Good stores, florists with mothers day coming up wh sector and the supports anding a syces i support on logistics and manufacturing in and around those sectors will be allowed to move forward into this phase two. Were also allowing additional criteria with the ability for containment plans and protection plans to be put into place until regions and counties throughout the state of florida. We recognize their different conditions and believe different criteria should be put into place and were announcing today the capacity for these other counties and regions to move further into phase two with plans that need to be locally certified, with plans that need to be locally certified by criteria that includes capacity on testing, the capacity on tracing, the capacity on physical distancing and sanitation and their capacity to protect the most vulnerable residents in their community and encourse rated those that are homeless and other individuals. If those cry criteria can be selfassessed, selfcertified by the local Health Official and concurrence with the county supervisors, can it be self certified and tested to in concurrence with local Health Official and the county supervisor, we will allow Additional Movement through phase two and that includes, let me be specific, ctsts and d opening and other specific capacity and health first focus indicators and have to be maintained and dr. Angel will talk about what they look like and stabilization and hospitalization and icu over 14 days or declines and again, testing and tracking capacity but one thing i know very well is many of these counties, many of these regions have done already a ton of work in this space. Theyre ready to go. I have great expectation that youre going to see a lot of these communities with local certification in place. All of those will be made public and all have be done through a process that goes through the California Department of Public Health where that adaptation and testing at the local level certification of all those conditions and criteria from a health frame met and once that needs done, we need active monitoring and surveillance to make sure the disease is not spreading and if it is one of the criterias a trigger to remodify the changes and let me just again, before i bring up dr. Angel that makes it much more simple and a supplied show to reinforce that time just make this point, we are entering into the next phase and end of the week with modifications, we will allow retastt ing the specwill allow varication after Self Certification of criteria that will allow even further implementation of our phase two. This is a very positive sign and its happened only for one reason, the data says it can happen. But we recognize as we begin to modify behaviors modified and possible Community Spread do not have the capacity to control that spread and trace that spread and track that spread and isolate individuals that splay been in contact with covid19, well have to make modifications anew and this is a sober announcement and done on the basis of Health Director in local communities guiding our effort here at the state and i just want to thank everybody for their collaborative support and not hard work over the last few weeks putting these modifications into play. One final point and then ill pull over to dr. Angel. We are not telling locals that feel its too soon, too fast to modify. We believe they have separate time lines should be afforded the capacity to advance those time lines. So let me unpack that. For example, the bay area, Northern California, they have guidelines where they are a little more strict come into come compliance with the state guidelines. They have that right. And others because conditions are very different in the bay area and other parts of the state, more rural parts of the state in Northern California as an example, they may want to go even further. Again well afford them that right with conditions and modifications that meet the health needs of the entire state and one thing we know is none of us are isolated and we may be more so in terms of our proximity to others traveling in and out of the communities back and forth. We have to manage this from a broader perspective than from a small perspective than we recognize the variations and the diversity and to modify the ability to loosen up even more and havent been moving more and i hope to have more distinctly back that up and thats an optimistic day as we see a little bit ray of sunshine on the horizon. Adaptation, modification first and fore most but as youll see with the report card that dr. Angel our Health Report card that were putting out and making this announcement. Dr. Angel. Thank u,to jo you talking about the positive opportunity we have moving forward it. Is because the data tells us we can. That data is only a reflection of all of the hard work, all of us here in california have done. All of those people that have stayed home. All of those people who have worked in our essential work force to make sure that we can stay home safely, thats why we are where we are today. I want to start first with the reminder of our specific goals moving forward with this process. Till california is protected and until we have immunity meaning it is safe to move without modifications and well keep four things specifically in mind when we make our decisions. First of all, we want to make sure no matter what we do, we maintain and ensure our ability to care for sick within our hospitals and care system is protected, is essential and we move forward at this point, we begin to move forward and move out of our homes and we increase the risk of people getting sick, we want to protect them. Were focused on preventing infection and at high risk for preventing disease. Were clear we need to build the capacity to make sure were continuing to protect the health and well being of all californiaens and ultimately were focused on reducing the social, emotional, and economic disruptions that are stay orden place and one of the reasons we are so pleased to be able to talk about moving forward and opening some areas of our sector with modifications because the data tells us so. So the report card that the governor referred to ill share with you now. Here specifically these are based upon the key indicators that we have always discussed in our road map but theres specific metrics related to the indicators that are particularly important talking about moving from stage one to stage two. So those key areas and weve mentioned them before, ill mention again and talk to you about how the progress is in each of them that brings us to this point to make these exciting announce wants were participating the potential for changes this friday. First of all, key metrics include stability of hospitalizations, personal protective equipment inventory, making sure we have healthcare Surge Capacity and testing caci all of those indicators, were on track. First of all, with respect to stabilization of hospitalizations. This is showing how its affecting our state at large and looking at number of hospitalizations that have cover avenue across the top over the past 14 days, the trend in the total number of people hospitalized with covid 19 and across here, the second lighter line shows the trend in the total number of p
