The county was announced just days after the government’s Gavin News (D) Announced California will be “pulling the emergency brake” and reversing many of the state’s new measures as new infections spread there at record rates.
“The spread of COVID-19, if left unchecked, can quickly rob our healthcare system and lead to disastrous results,” Newsom said in a statement.
