Gov. Gavin Newsom said on Monday that the state is preparing to increase cases of the emerging coronavirus (Covid-19) after the December holiday gatherings as emergency room care has slowed in some parts of the state. California officials on Tuesday are expected to extend home stay requests in the San Joaquin Valley and Southern California area as hospitals there are running out of intensive care unit beds for COVID-19 patients ahead of the expected post-holiday surge. Stay-at-home orders are triggered when remaining ICU capacity drops below 15%. On Christmas Eve, California became the first state in the United States to record more than 2 million cases of COVID-19. Statewide, California has seen a 38% increase in COVID-related hospitalizations in the past 14 days. Newsom said Monday that while the majority of the state is currently seeing a plateau in new hospital admissions, Southern California continues to see higher case rates and routine emergency care slowing down in some places. “If you think this does not affect you, if you think that you are somehow immune from the influence of COVID, then there is a direct effect, which is the transmission of this virus. There is an indirect effect – God forbid that you have a stroke or a heart attack, or have a car accident Or you have other acute care needs, and the impact of this virus – this epidemic is being felt on the entire hospital system, and this effect is evident. It can affect all of us, God forbid we need emergency care, especially now in Los Angeles County. >> Hear more from the Governor in the video below.
