Gov. Gavin Newsom said during a news conference this morning that with the state having more than 100 COVID-19 deaths per day, his administration has recently launched a grim logistical operation.
“We have orders on 60 53-foot refrigerated storage units that are currently standing by now in counties and at hospitals,” Newsom said. “We just had to order 5,000 additional body bags we just purchased for the state and we just distributed them down to San Diego, Los Angeles, Inyo counties.
“That should be sobering.”
The governor said that the seven-day average of daily COVID-19 deaths across the state was 167 on Dec. 14, nearly four time the seven-day average of 41 on Nov. 14.
