· Health outcomes are affected by forces including structural racism, poverty and the disproportionate prevalence of underlying conditions such as asthma and heart disease among Latinos and Black Californians.
· The differences in health outcomes are most stark in our COVID-19 death rates. We have nearly complete data on deaths, and we are seeing these trends:
o Overall, for adults 18 and older, Latinos, African Americans and Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders are dying at disproportionately higher levels. The proportion of COVID-19 deaths in African Americans is about double their population representation across all adult age categories.
o For Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders, overall numbers are low, but there is a four-fold difference between the proportion of COVID-19 deaths and their population representation.
o More men are dying from COVID-19 than females, in line with national trends.
· More information is available at COVID-19 Race and Ethnicity Data.
· Nationwide COVID-19 Numbers
o As of April 29, there have been 57,505 deaths, 2,247 new deaths since yesterday.

Actions Taken by the State and Federal Government
· April 28, Governor Gavin Newsom announced that California is building a roadmap, consisting of four stages, for modifying the statewide Stay-at-Home order while maintaining community health and resiliency.
The Governor is seeking feedback on physical and environmental adaptations that can make workplaces safer and protect our communities. The California Recovery Roadmap Survey can be found at: https://covid19.ca.gov/recovery-input/.
· April 27, Governor Gavin Newsom announced that Colorado Governor Jared Polis and Nevada Governor Steve Sisolak today announced their respective states are joining California, Oregon and Washington in the Western States Pact – a working group of Western state governors with a shared vision for modifying stay at home orders and fighting COVID-19.
· April 24, Governor Gavin Newsom announced a series of initiatives to support vulnerable older Californians who are isolating at home during California's stay at home order. California is launching a first-in-the nation meal delivery program, a partnership to make wellness check-in calls, and the expansion of Friendship Line California to help combat social isolation. These actions will support the approximately 1.2 million Californians over the age of 65 who live alone.
Listos California’s Social Bridging Project will generate calls to older Californians across the state to check on their well-being, direct them to resources, and simply connect on a personal level. These calls will supplement county and city check-in programs already underway. Callers – who are referred to as Bridgers – will be trained to assess basic needs and make referrals. They will also listen closely and empathize with each individual’s experience of this pandemic.
The Restaurants Deliver: Home Meals for Seniors program will enlist community restaurants to prepare meals that will be delivered to older Californians who are isolating at home during California's stay at home order. The program will also support local restaurant workers and owners who have lost business during the pandemic. The program will be administered by local authorities and will serve older Californians who are ineligible for other nutrition programs.
The President signed into law H.R. 266, the “Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act,” which provides emergency supplemental funding to increase amounts authorized and appropriated for commitments for the Paycheck Protection Program, economic injury disaster loans and emergency grants under the CARES Act, to fund hospital and provider recovery and testing, and for other purposes.
· April 23, Governor Gavin Newsom announced that most private student loan servicers have agreed to provide payment and other relief to borrowers, including more than 1.1 million Californians with privately held student loans.
He also signed an executive order to stop debt collectors from garnishing COVID-19-related financial assistance. The Governor also issued an executive order that empowers schools to focus on responding to COVID-19 and to provide transparency to their communities. The order extends the deadlines for local educational agencies (LEAs) to submit Local Control and Accountability Plans Given the COVID-19 pandemic, school leaders are appropriately focused on managing the immediate needs of their students and families. LEAs will publish a written report to their communities explaining how they are responding to COVID-19.
Additional orders issued on April 23 extend flexibility to the California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) and Medi-Cal providers on a variety of deadlines, allow fair hearings to continue for California Children’s Services, temporarily suspend requirements for in-person signatures for people to obtain certain prescription drugs covered by Medi-Cal, and will allow a 90-day extension for providers on cost reporting, change of scope of service and administrative hearings.
The Governor also ordered a 60-day extension for customers on several Department of Motor Vehicles deadlines, allow certain posting, filing and notice requirements under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) to be satisfied through electronic means and will temporarily allow retailers, particularly grocery stores, to provide bags to consumers without charge, and to pause redemption of beverage containers in-store to mitigate the spread of COVID-19.
The order also suspends the requirement for recycling centers to hold a minimum number of hours of operation and directs the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) to develop and issue operating guidelines.
· April 22, Governor Gavin Newsom announced plans to resume delayed health care that was deferred as hospitals prepared for COVID-19 Surge.
The decision was based on progress toward preparing California’s hospitals and health care delivery system for a COVID-19 surge in patients, one of California’s six indicators to gradually modify state’s stay-at-home order. The Governor also announced plans to add at least an additional 80 testing sites in underserved communities train up to 10,000 contact tracers.
· April 21, Governor Gavin Newsom today announced California Volunteers’ #CaliforniansForAll service initiative to connect Californians with safe volunteer opportunities and encourage those unable to physically volunteer to think creatively about ways to make a difference in their communities. Californians are encouraged to join #CaliforniansForAll by signing up at californiansforall.ca.gov .
FEMA and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) are collecting and sharing best practices and lessons learned from the whole-of-America response to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

· April 18, Governor Gavin Newsom visited a Project Roomkey motel in Santa Clara County to highlight progress that the state and counties have made together in providing safe isolation capacity to protect people experiencing homelessness from COVID-19.
Project Roomkey has directly led to 10,974 hotel and motel rooms statewide being made available for this extremely vulnerable group of Californians.
These Project Roomkey placements are spread across 42 counties and are already providing safe shelter to people experiencing homelessness, with 4,211 rooms occupied. The counties are responsible for identifying which individuals need a Project Roomkey placement, and then moving those individuals into the rooms.
· In addition, Governor Newsom announced that the State of California has reached agreement with the Motel 6 chain to make available all of its corporate-owned locations to counties, effective immediately, with a master agreement template. Counties have the option to adopt the operating agreement for the locations within their jurisdiction, if they so choose. This master agreement, if all locations are adopted, includes an additional 5,025 rooms above and beyond the total number of rooms already under county control. This portfolio includes 47 different hotels in 19 counties around the state.
· April 17, Governor Gavin Newsom announced a new Taskforce on Business and Jobs Recovery.

The Governor also announced an unprecedented $125 million in disaster relief assistance for working Californians. This first in the nation, statewide public-private partnership will provide financial support to undocumented immigrants impacted by COVID-19. California will provide $75 million in disaster relief assistance and philanthropic partners have committed to raising an additional $50 million.
California has developed an immigrant resource guide to provide information about COVID-19 related assistance, including public benefits, that are available to immigrant Californians.

· April 10, Governor Newsom announced the release of $100 million to support childcare services, and to support childcare providers who are stepping up to serve essential infrastructure workers and vulnerable populations as well as their children during this critical time.
Governor Gavin Newsom also outlined steps California is taking to protect the residents and employees of the more than 1,224 skilled nursing facilities and 7,461 residential care facilities across the state. Building on the state’s early action to protect these facilities, California has trained and is deploying 600 nurses to support compliance with COVID-19 guidance, and state staff is calling nursing homes across the state daily to provide support.
Frontline health care workers who are exposed to or test positive for COVID-19 can find hotel rooms through the CalTravelStore. Call 1-877-454-8785 to validate your eligibility and make your reservation. If hotels want to participate, they are encouraged to email [email protected].

How Can People Protect Themselves:
We are all in this together. We are working rapidly to keep our state healthy. Every person has a role to play. Your actions save lives.
DO:
· Stay home
· Avoid people outside your household
· Wash hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds
· Cover your cough or sneeze
· Frequently clean and disinfect touched objects and surfaces
· Maintain physical distance of six feet whenever outside of the house
DON’T
· Leave the house except for essential activities
· Shake hands
· Touch your face
· Go to the doctor if you are not sick
· Stockpile masks or gloves
· It is also important that anyone experiencing symptoms of COVID-19, call their health care provider first before seeking medical care so that appropriate precautions can be taken.
· Stay away from work, school or other people if you become sick with respiratory symptoms like fever and cough.
Mental Health
· The steps we are taking to slow the spread are necessary, but emotional support is important to maintain our mental and physical health.

· There are simple things you can do at home to protect you or others health and we have developed playbooks that offer practical tools and kits to help manage your stress.
· Call you doctor or mental health professional if you have concerns.
· 16 hotlines offering emotional support for a variety of situations and other helpful mental health resources available here: https://covid19.ca.gov/resources-for-emotional-support-and-well-being/
About the Tests:
· As of April 28, more than 603,139 tests have been conducted in California and reported to the California Department of Public Health. Tests have been conducted in California - received from commercial, private and academic labs and the 22 state and county health labs currently testing.
· Commercial providers and academic labs have increased testing capacity and are now reporting that data to the state. The biggest labs included in this count are Quest, LabCorp, Kaiser, University of California, and Stanford.
· The Department is now reporting all tests reported in California, rather than the total number of individuals tested. As new laboratories begin to test for COVID-19, some have had delays in reporting to the state. To resolve this issue, and to ensure this data is as complete as possible and reflects the state's entire testing capacity, the Department is contacting laboratories directly to assess the completeness of reporting and to gather additional testing data if needed.
Small Business Assistance
· California Small Business Loan Guarantee Program (via IBank) is making available $50 million in state funding, providing potential capital for individuals who do not qualify for federal funds.
o Small Businesses located in California with 1-750 employees that have been negatively impacted or experienced disruption by COVID-19 and nonprofits are eligible.
· U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) has declared all California counties eligible for the Economic Injury Disasters Loans.
· This SBA declaration makes Economic Injury Disaster Loans available to impacted small businesses, small agricultural cooperatives, small businesses engaged in aquaculture, and private non‐profit organizations.
· SBA loans can be approved up to $2 million but are limited to the economic injury determined by SBA. These loans are intended to assist through the disaster recovery period.
o In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, small business owners in all U.S. states, Washington D.C., and territories are eligible to apply for an Economic Injury Disaster Loan advance of up to $10,000. This advance will provide economic relief to businesses that are currently experiencing a temporary loss of revenue. Funds will be made available within three days of a successful application. This loan advance will not have to be repaid.
o This advance may be available even if your EIDL application was declined or is still pending and will be forgiven. If you wish to apply for the Advance on your EIDL, please visit https://covid19relief.sba.gov/#/ as soon as possible to fill out a new, streamlined application.
o In order to qualify you need to submit this new application even if you previously submitted an EIDL application. Applying will not impact the status or slow your existing application.
· U.S. Small Business Administration announced changes to help borrowers still paying back SBA loans from previous disasters. By making this change, deferments through December 31, 2020, will be automatic. Now, borrowers of home and business disaster loans do not have to contact SBA to request deferment.
