California Governor Newsom shuts churches, businesses as Covid-19 cases surge

SACRAMENTO - California’s governor ordered a retreat on Monday from the state’s reopening as coronavirus cases soared and the state’s two largest school districts, Los Angeles and San Diego, announced all learning will be online-only when classes resume in a few weeks.

Los Angeles is the second-largest school district in the United States and with San Diego has a combined 706,000 students and 88,000 employees. Florida along with Arizona, California and Texas have emerged as the new US epicentres of the pandemic. Infections have risen rapidly in about 40 of the 50 states over the last two weeks, according to a Reuters analysis.

“But sadly, too many people aren’t listening,” she said.“This should be terrifying them, but it isn’t. Not enough people are even wearing masks.” Florida’s Disney World welcomed the public on Saturday for the first time since March with guests required to wear masks, undergo temperature checks and keep physically apart.
