William H. Boyer, Communications Director

Both Gov. Newsom and State Health Dept. Director Sonia Angell described today’s briefing wit

“cautious optimism” and provided an outline for getting California from Stage 1 to Stage 2,

“within weeks” not months—assuming the conditions are right and the trends in stabilization

for COVID-19 hospitalization cases remain as shown in slide 2.

More than 3 million masks arrived over the weekend, with 2.87 million immediately distributed

to healthcare sites in state.

Gov. talked about possibly opening the Fall school term early for K-12 to compensate for the

learning loss from now thru summer.

Both emphasized that going into Stage 2 depends greatly on expanded testing, abil ity to track

and isolate cases and continued use of strong social distancing. Schools and classrooms will be

significantly changes and modified for social distancing and learning.

Slides 8 and 9 show steps and process to go into Stage 2. Slide 10 references ability of local

counties and cities to have ability to regional variations—while slide references counties ability

to relax rules sooner, Gov. also referenced San Francisco as extending Safer at Home through

the end of May.

Both emphasized ability to be flexible in response, especially is situation get worse.

Stages 3 and 4 are months away from happening.
