Governor Gavin Newsom issued an executive order that expands the state's response to the COVID-19 outbreak in California.

The governor's office said the order gives the state the ability to increase the health care capacity in clinics, mobile health care units and adult day health care facilities. It also allows local governments more flexibility to utilize the skills of retired employees and reinforces the importance of the delivery of food, medicine and emergency supplies.
The statement adds: "T
he State of California is fighting hard to get the resources that Californians need to meet the COVID-19 surge. These emergency legal tools will increase California's health care capacity and help facilities treat more patients," said Governor Newsom.

3. I don't understand why all governors don't do this

If New York and California can ask people to stay home, why can’t Missouri or Oregon or South Dakota?
