Gavin Newsom’s office announced Saturday., emphasizing prevention and quick reaction to outbreaks over mandated masking and business shutdowns.
“California is focused on keeping schools open and students safe, and we’re not letting our guard down,” Newsom said in a statement. “We know that COVID-19 is still present in our communities, but the SMARTER Plan is how we keep people safe and continue moving the state forward,” he said, referring to the state’s acronym for a strategy that calls for shots, masks, awareness, readiness, and testing.
