that there are few forces at work the relaxation of the restrictions and then the winter season where people are more tend to be more indoors or then contributing to increased transmissions. stats show hospitalizations increasing in areas with low vaccination rates. such as he sacramento region, central valley, along with orange, riverside and san bernardino counties. riley says the new cases don't necessarily require physicians and are not contributing to high mortality either. this is also the, uh, you know, season for all kinds of other respiratory illnesses, you know, went to a common cold. but with mask restrictions loosening in the winter months ahead, change is in the air while speaking at the california economic summit tuesday afternoon, governor gavin newsom revealed that planning is already underway for a winter surge. we have organized potential staffing that will have to bring in from out of the state. i don't want to tell you that because i don't want it to be true. but
