Last week, Newsom teased the new approach will allow 'flexibility' but will still include quarantines and an emphasis on vaccination.
During a news conference last week, Newsom teased the new approach"allows for the kind of flexibility of thinking that is incumbent upon all of us as it relates to dealing with any endemic, particularly one as stubborn ... as COVID."
It will still include quarantines, testing of those who don't show symptoms and other precautions, but those safeguards will vary based on what he said are more than a dozen"guideposts and measurements" designed to spot new surges and virus variants. It also will include a continued emphasis on vaccinations and booster shots that can prevent serious illness, hospitalization and death, he said.
