Napa sonoma and solano counties, those are the areas that are in the purple most restrictive tier where there is widespread covid19 moran, San Francisco and San Mateo County are in the red substantial tier. Were not sure yet though if all the bay area counties are going to join together and insist enforce this curfew what we know about the curfew is that it will be in effect from 10 00pm until 05 00am and it will start this saturday and then end on december 21st. This is for all nonessential businesses and gatherings and all the effort to stop the spread of covid19 this is a limited stay at home order. Were expected to hear new information about this any minute now from the states Top Health Official. Its very similar in some ways to the stay at home order that was listed in march, but this will only be applying to nonessential businesses and gatherings between the hours of 10 00pm and 05 00am and only in the purple tier counties that are seeing the highest rates of positive cases of hospitalizations from covid19 the state is saying that the virus is spreading at a pace that they have not seen since the start of the pandemic and for the next several days and weeks are saying that its going to be critical to enforce this however they plan to do that in order to stop the surge. So the governor has now said that the state is quote sounding the alarm and theyre saying its critical that theyre doing this in order to decrease transmission and slow hospitalizations before the death count surges he says we have done it before. And we must do it again. The whole point of this is trying to reduce non essential the activities and also theyre saying that thats most related to social activities and gatherings that have a higher li elihood of leading to people are just not paying attention to the rules whether that staying 6 feet apart wearing a mask, staying home and thats why theyre putting in this issue happening right now in the spring the state was able to flatten the curve and thats what theyre trying to do again right now again this state home order were expected to hear it be officially announced any moment now from the states Top Health Official were waiting for that live stream to kick in. This is coming at a time when hospitalizations and infections are at a high risk rate here in the state and the stay at home order all to slow the spread of covid19 will start this saturday november 21st from 10 00pm until 05 00am there saying that this is an unprecedented move because of the rapid rise in covid19 cases across the state. So the governor and the California Department of health are announcing today this limited stay at home order that requires not essential work and movement and gatherings to stop between the hours of 10 00pm and 05 00am in the counties that are in the purple tier in just to go over again the counties that are in that area. The bay area this includes alameda contra costa santa clara napa sonoma and solano counties. So soon as this press conference starts it was supposed to begin at 3 oclock. We will take you right there, but in other news that were watching right now ahead of the holidays. The cdc has now issued new guidelines for americans traveling for thanksgiving and theyre begging people not to travel next week in an effort to keep covid cases and hospitalizations down still air travel is will be picking up ahead of the holiday weekend. Lets go now live to kron fours phillipe djegal he is at Oakland International airport for us were airport officials are saying theyre expecting this to be a very busy travel period. Felipe whats the latest. Thats right justine just looking out october passengers. The number of them are traveling here. I open international was down about 67 compared to the same period last year. But if you look at whats happening now from september to october there was a 14 jump. Sorry we have to cut felipe off their doctor mark galli is now announcing the new stay at home order for the state of california lets listen you have been as the governor. I would be using my zoom this week to update you. On our tier system our blueprint and then also to really dig into the science and the data about whats happening across california. How we got here and really what path forward has to make sure that we keep our public house in mind we support one another and we come together as we have before. I was always just won a big gain in give you a bit of the national sadly we day over day broken new milestones whether its in cases hospitalizations or south the across the nation, the midwest in particular has been heavily here but really no region of california. I mean of the nation has been spared. That the wave of cases said have been happening over weeks have turned into record high hospitalizations and intensive care unit. Stay that a number of states are making difficult decisions about how to i would take care and even though we are the hope a vaccine and the discussions about what lies ahead on that front. We are off to take care of the urgency of the day and in california. As weve enjoyed lower rates of transmission lower numbers of cases we too are seen this surge growing faster and faster and we must address it immediately. So todays although not our highest number ever frankly on this sort of surge that weve been dealing with this is our highest number today. 11,478 covid cases reported widespread across the state moving our 7 day average to 9,665. This is from the face frankly, what is a lower recent numbers of tests reported we had been reporting words of 200,000 tests across the state. This is on the face for its built by the states. We talk to you about our partnership with perkin elmer but really so many Different Health system so many different Laboratory Partners have really stepped up in california to well testing in covid testing so we can be informed about most is tracked the disease and put our Contact Tracing and efforts around support in isolation when necessary in quarantine at other times so that we can stem the tide. We talked to governor focuses on test positivity accurately so we have seen this number come up from what had below 3 just weeks ago to now a 14 day positivity a 5 in the sevenday positivity concerning up to 5. 6 . We have a cold to keep this as low as possible to continue to test our communities to find cases to wrap around those cases avoid one case becoming many. But this number one of caution and warm bed. Intensifies our resolve to get it back under control you take a closer look at the sevenday positive 14 day of tampa tea. We knew just a couple weeks ago we were at 3. 3 we were talking to you that about how its priming minutes rising, and it certainly has nearly 52 increase just over the past 2 weeks i know the numbers it feels its just a small difference between 3. 3 to 5 but its a very significant difference in the percentage increase which is when we focus on not just increases in rates, but this notion of rate of rising 2 weeks tab, a 52 increase is quite concerning to us across the state. Hospitals we talk to you about hospitals all the time that we know bad 12 of todays cases, well be hospitalized and 2 to 3 weeks but these numbers in context weve seen a 63. 6 increase in hospitalizations free covid19 over the past 14 days. Just days ago, reporting that we were just climbing over 3,000 cases in the hospital across the state today. Over 4500 our icu capacity, one of our most precious resources that signifies not just the bad in a specialized unit but specialized staff trained to use the equipment and take care of very sick individuals and ventilators and all the medications and tools that help us support ones respiratory those bags have seen an increase of 40. 5 over the last 14 days and have climbed to just over 1100 individuals in those just a reminder that if we look a day over day. We cover a week weve seen a climb not a number of individuals who are hospitalized. But really and the number of new admissions coming through the front doors of Emergency Rooms hospitals across the state something that is concerning so even though that slowly rises on hospitals much faster or the number of new admissions because what i said earlier rider roughly 12 of those individuals, those cases today that test positive we expect will be in our hospitals and 2 to 3 weeks. So we talked about not just the rise, but the steep rise that rate of rise, you look at what we experienced during that first significant surge earlier on a sort of the middle of the summer in june and july we peak rate of increase of about 39. 2 over a sevenday period. Again here were over 50 in the same 7 day period. This necessarily tell us where will and some states across the nation have seen double in just a we know that we are still increasing rate we are sure where the peak will be. So that is why we certainly need to be laserfocused on all things we can do collectively across the state. Just take a look at a couple of important counties. You know we have 58 in california, we chose Los Angeles County were often talking Los Angeles County. Really does drive transmission across the state we see them a very important pop of popular. Well populous county excuse just at the beginning of the reporting 1500 cases a day. A few days well over a week before that they were about a 1,1100 today, a 147 increase since then at 3,742 cases and certainly all signs point to continue garage, him at number and potentially even higher numbers than this report today. But derrick county shar smaller county versus geographically separated. But still 6 cases on november one today reporting 34 cases you may say well thats still a small number but that rate of increase 460 over a small to announce week period. It is an Important Message to all of us that this can go very quickly. The support from a derek hahn is important all counties getting the support that they need so that we can curb this transmission and ensure that our hospitals are prepared for those who need it the most. So what has caused the rise to go so high and so fast and im often asked this question ive been on zoom zoom press conferences before. Well you say it is theirs but where is going to say its that we do have plenty of data and evidence around certain sectors but overall i will say that there is no single culprit. Its a combination of factors certainly the colder well there are more mixed seem which comes with more opening not just of. Places indoors places where you can ask places are indoors dont have an easy time asking the all time. And of course greater travel weve some of over the last many weeks in my home county of los angeles dodgers. Lakers. We had halloween we just exited veterans were looking forward to future of and some activities as we go into the winter weve had. Some things just celebrate some things to protest coming together in ways that we dont usually. Always do all of those things create. Opportunities for the virus to spread opportunities where we put our guard down it certainly does spread and we know that those are factors driving this high transmission. So what what does it mean when levels are this high across the state. Really means that activities that you normally do. Are higher risk today than they were a month ago. Weve seen reports of people saying well i havent changed my behavior i was doing the same thing a month ago. Well today because the background transmission where rate the level of covid in our communities as high or even our everyday activities become higher risk and we must be resolved to put up our protective cards even more than we usually and so todays collective actions said ill be discussing in just a minute target activities that are particularly high risk while minimizing the disruptions on the social connections we all need and desire. So our ability to be more targeted on is an important part of our overall message and approach. So a reminder of used this slide many times before about what some of those highrisk activities we said and talked about the need a mask and not just mask for part of the time but the whole time we know that when youre eating and drinking the mask comes off. We ask you to keep it office. Short a time as possible to put it back when youre done eating when youre drinking. Even if you know getting getting together 6 feet apart both friends and others you havent seen back keeping that mask on is an strategy to reduce stress. Activities when youre seeing people that you havent seen in quite some time people outside of your house, so this includes close family members friends who havent with you in some time just because you know them well on a personal level doesnt necessarily mean that day in any way wouldnt be able to transmit the virus to you or you to them. Activities where its difficult to keep your distance think about playing board games and card games chance on the carpet in our living room or employees in a break ground weve heard about outbreaks at hospitals not enough. Patients room about the icu or emergency room certainly that happens to but often when his staff take their guard down they think its a moment of rest and yes we all need it, especially under these difficult conditions but that isnt it time to take off your enjoy your meal, its time to keep it up and make sure we do what we can to prevent the spread. Activities that are longer duration. We know that the longer your potential exposure is the more likely you are. To the infected or spread the infection to someone else and activities that dont allow plenty fresh air to circulate weve learned a lot in the past couple months probably one of the most important areas of development with covid is our understanding of the criticality of ventilation getting fresh air in the is really having that air circulates frequently over the course of time hour many years circulations are as many as we can achieve really do reduce the risk and those settings where thats not possible or indeed high risk for all of us. I was trying to explain this taught my own mother here in california i was saw thinking simple way and almost an equation to understand how we can calculate your risk for covid in really came up some of that discussion that your chance of being infected. Its sort of a simple equation on that all likelihood of an exposure as that goes up. Because theres more. Baseline background virus in our community is that youre in a situation the duration of exposure going up that sort of complementing additive as that goes up our chance of getting infected certainly goes up. But its always divided by are produced by the level of protection that we have our ability to keep our mask on our own personal discipline to keep that mask on not just when youre with those who not familiar with sometimes especially those when youre with those who youre familiar with we know more and more the role of household transmission. What i mean by that is and when youre gathering with people in your house to actually when you may be returned from work or school and you and mixing with folks where you might have infected that being able to protect especially those people in your home by wearing your mask, an important and of course keep the mets operation that physical distance of at least 6 feet help to reduce its overall risk. So something that was affected with affective with my own mom wanted to share with you today as you think about how we are in the situation that were in in california. Certainly that increased exposure risky. Our urging you to limit your exposure helps reduce that overall risk but then really ramping up in elevating our level of protection to the protective factors and interventions weve been talking about both the governor and local Public Health national Public Health leaders for many many months. So told there announcement today of what well be doing in the state of california. We are going to just as we did back in march, we started with full stay at home order it was very effect of californians came together. We were able to stay ahead of our curve and keep transmission low. Today in a more focused way based on many things that weve learned over the past 20 go over those things in just a moment. We are putting forward a limited stay at home order. One that is more targeted one is more focused in the following ways it impacts counties the purple tier. Youll remember on monday, we announced 41 counties across california are in the purple tier. Today were not announcing additional counties in the purple tier in fact over the past 48 hours if we look at the data know county across california has moved to a more restrictive tier and certainly no one has moved to a less restrictive tier. Were asking that as part of this targeted limited stay at home order that people are home by 10 in stay home until 05 00am this means that many essential business says. Weve in the past called non essential businesses theres a list of whats included and included in that in category that we ask that they close operations by 10 00pm people can get home by man and that they stay home and lows. Businesses dont resume operations tell at least 05 00am throughout all of the purple counties. Theres saw order this Public Health order that will be modified at the state level well be effective november 24 so that saturday night at 10 00pm and will go until december 21st. So what does this practically im sure many are what this means i just wanted to highlight a few things the top i know, ill get many questions on essence what forward to answering those. But what does it mean that you can still do so i think about my own life need with 4 young kids way Grocery Store run to make sure were stopped for breakfast in the morning or a meal and yes, it does and it does mean that i could still go to the Grocery Store at 11 effect Grocery Stores still open to pick up milk or eggs or whatever, i mean. My colleague doesnt walk very well hard to get around the block. But yes i can walk my dog at 11 00pm. If thats your tradition and routine and for restaurants close their front door at doesnt mean that the back door do takeout and delivery is closed and so we urge in a limited way to to use restaurants in that way and for all your Restaurant Operators and owners, but certainly an opportunity to some amount of business going. And why are we doing this and what are we hoping to gain its really to avoid further restrictions we know and weve seen in the past covid goes from 0 to 60 Miles Per Hour very quickly. Were in a place today, but that can rapidly change maybe not statewide maybe just handful of counties but further restrictions of what we hope to avoi
