California passed the grim milestone of 200,461 coronavirus cases on Friday morning amid more worrying reports about the rising number of new infections. The state saw a 2.5 percent rise in new cases over the previous day’s total.

Amid those concerns, California Governor Gavin Newsom announced on Friday that, after weeks of engagement with the state’s hardest-hit county, he was asking officials in Imperial County, near San Diego, to increase COVID-preventative restrictions.

Newsom said he would leave it to county officials to determine the appropriate measures but, if they did not find the right measures, “I am committed to intervening.”

“They never moved as far forward as other parts of the state,” he said, “but it’s time to pull back further.”

Even when things were improving and doing well in other parts of California and there country this area was struggling.

I think they had high unemployment while the rate was low in other parts of the state and country.
