L.A. County tell residents to stay inside this week as coronavirus hits new milestone
Hospitals throughout California have procured thousands of ventilators over the past few weeks, increasing their total ventilator inventory from 7,587 to 11,036, Newsom said.Given that under current estimates coronavirus cases here are not expected to peak until May, California could afford to loan the medical devices to parts of the country where they are in short supply, Newsom said.on the condition that they will be returned if California needs them.
Newsom’s announcement comes after Gov. Kate Brown of Oregon and Gov. Jay Inslee of Washington also announced they would send ventilators to areas of the country in need. Brown on Saturday said 140 ventilators were being sent to New York and Inslee on Sunday said the state would return more than 400 ventilators received from the Strategic National Stockpile to help New York and other areas seeing a surge of cases.
If Californians maintain that behavior, the state should have enough ventilators to care for residents in need for the near future, Newsom said.Meanwhile, the effort to test as many residents as possible continues in Los Angeles County.
