Newsom and the state are trying to get a handle on the ever-evolving situation that is the coronavirus.

“Rather than expressing concern or anxiety, I want to demonstrate resolve,” Newsom said.
Newsom says he met directly with leaders of the Trump Administration on his recent trip to Washington D.C.
The governor praised the federal government for its work with California to coordinate and organize the transportation of patients and those possibly at risk of the virus.
