Gov. Newsom gives COVID-19 update at Alameda school
Gov. Gavin Newsom was at an Alameda elementary school to talk about the ongoing effort to reopen most California schools for in-person learning over the next few weeks. So far, about 400,000 educators have received a vaccine dose in the state, Newsom said.
Statewide, 12.6 million doses total have been administered so far. In the last 24 hours, Newsom said 464,000 people were vaccinated. He reminded everyone that the only reason that number isn't even higher is because of limited supply. Over the last few weeks, the state has only gotten between 1.7 million to 1.8 million doses weekly.
As vaccination numbers increase, COVID-19 cases numbers continue to plummet. California is seeing a record low 1.8% positivity rate and only 1,260 new cases over the past day. "Just consider eight weeks ago, we were at 53,000," Newsom said.

While these are the first confirmed cases of the U.K. variant in Contra Costa, Dr. Chris Farnitano, the county's health officer, said there are likely many more in the community that have not been detected.
