Steven Maurano told CNN on Saturday.
“I am deeply disappointed by the selfish behavior of these students who chose to ignore our COVID-19 Code of Conduct,” Fr. The college’s president, Kenneth R. Sicard, said in a statement. “While I take no pleasure in supporting such strong sanctions, but I know it is necessary if we are to go into a successful fall session.”
California has surpassed 700,000 cases
California, which has more coronavirus cases than any other state, surpassed 700,000 cases on Saturday, according to Johns Hopkins University figures.
The virus has killed 12,894 people in the state.
California Gov. Gavin News announced this week that the state will apply a slower, more cautious approach to resuming businesses and activities in the wake of a dramatic increase in infections and deaths after a quick opening in the spring.
“We’ll be more stubborn this time around, and a mandatory wait between moves,” Newsome said Friday. “It wasn’t the last time we did that.”
California saw a resurgence of cases in June, and Newsme shut down much of the economy for the second time. But in recent weeks, the average number of new daily cases has dropped, paving the way for a new plan.
Part of moving forward under the coronavirus in the state will be ongoing lawsuits, News announced during a news conference on Friday.
Existing defaulters – include millions of tenants and landlords who are unable to pay their mortgages. It was to end on September 1st. News did not give details of the new agreement, but said it saw “very soon to sign it.”
There are concerns about a drop in testing after Hurricane Laura in Louisiana
After Hurricane Laura walled off part of his state last week, Louisiana Gov. John Bell Edwards worries that the hurricane will lead to a decline in coronavirus testing in the state.
Edwards said in a news conference that Southwest Louisiana has the highest rate of positive tests and has been hit hardest by the hurricane.
“We have thousands of people from southwestern Louisiana who have taken refuge across the state,” Edwards said. “So we don’t know exactly what it will look like until the spread of Covid-19,” he added.
The governor said 6,200 members of the National Guard were helping the state recover from the hurricane, but they were eager to bring them back on the Covid-19 mission.
“To be honest we can’t afford to lose our test vision, because our schools came back about three weeks ago. We’ve got students back on our college campus,” Edwards said. “So, this is a very bad week for us not to test hard.”
Extend remedesivir for all hospitalized patients
This week has brought promising news for those hospitalized with coronavirus.
U.S. The Food and Drug Administration has increased the authorization of emergency use for a drug that has been shown to shorten recovery time for all hospitalized patients with coronavirus.
Rimdesivir was originally authorized in May only for severely infected patients who needed help breathing with additional oxygen or mechanical ventilation. But emergency use now applies to a wider group of patients.
The data show that the treatment is likely to help hospitalized patients who are suffering from the effects of this devastating virus, FDA Commissioner Dr. Stephen Hahn said in a statement.
