Large gatherings should be canceled due to coronavirus outbreak, Gov. Gavin Newsom says
Gov. Gavin Newsom joined state health officials in recommending the cancellation of gatherings of 250 or more people “at least through March,” escalating the effort by his administration to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus.
The size recommendations have the potential to touch virtually all corners of life across the state — community meetings, sports events and school theater performances.The new guidelines broadly apply requirements that have been adopted in counties across California that are struggling to combat community spread of the virus.
The new directive also reflects guidelines issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention this week to cancel gatherings of over 250 people in communities with minimal to moderate community spread.Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti said he and other mayors were briefed on the plan by the Newsom administration earlier Wednesday night. In an interview on CBS2 television, he said L.A. would follow suit on limiting large gatherings.
State laws grant broad authority to local and state officials in times of a health or safety crisis. Following the 2001 terrorist attacks, those laws were updated to allow for an emergency declaration to respond to any “imminent and proximate threat of the introduction of any contagious, infectious, or communicable disease, chemical agent, noncommunicable biologic agent, toxin, or radioactive agent.
Newsom’s announcement extends the administration’s previous recommendations for event organizers to create contingency plans in counties without confirmed COVID-19 cases and to make preparations to cancel nonessential large-scale events in counties with confirmed cases of the virus.
