California Gov. Gavin Newsom says he plans to “tighten things up” when it comes to the state's stay-at-home order ahead of the busy Fourth of July weekend.
California has confirmed close to 223,000 infections, a nearly 50% increase over two weeks ago that's been driven in part by the state's ability to test more people. But more concerning for state officials is the steady growth in coronavirus-related hospitalizations.
Newsom said Tuesday that the state will be more aggressive on enforcing public health orders.
Newsom spoke at a motel in Pittsburg, where about a dozen protesters interrupted his speech to demand police reforms.
