Earlier on Saturday, Newsom's administration also unveiled a $2.7 billion COVID-19 Emergency Response Package with aims of improving testing capacity, supporting healthcare workers and combatting misinformation
that includes a $1.4 billion emergency appropriation request to increase testing capacity, speed vaccination and booster efforts, support frontline workers, strengthen the healthcare system and combat misinformation.
“From day one, California has taken swift and direct action to battle COVID-19 with policies that have saved tens of thousands of lives, but there’s more work to be done,” Newsom said in the release. Some political analysts say the fact that the federal government will reimburse the state for most of these COVID-related expenses is a plus for Newsom’s proposal.LAPD Loses Alleged Attempted Murder Suspect Following High-Speed Pursuit; Vehicle Driving Speeds Up To 120 MPH
Though a sticking point, even for California Democrats, may be a proposed state law requiring companies to give workers more paid sick days if they are diagnosed with COVID-19. Right now, it’s unclear how or even if employers would get reimbursed or receive tax credits for that, like they did last year.
