First Californian to get coronavirus in community spread was infected at a nail salon, governor says

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — The first person in California to contract the coronavirus through community spread caught the virus in a nail salon, Gov. Gavin Newsom said Thursday.

Newsom cited the case when asked why personal services, such as nail salons, must remain closed even as the state starts to slowly open businesses.

“This whole thing started in the state of California, the first community spread, in a nail salon. I just want to remind everybody of that and that I’m very worried about that,” Newsom said during his daily COVID-19 briefing in Sacramento.

Newsom said the transmission of the virus occurred despite the fact that most nail salons already had safeguards in place before the coronavirus hit, including the used of face masks and gloves.

He or she had it before the customer. Where did the nail person get it?

It's hot weather so I got out the clippers this morning and buzz. My day off, I'll be spreading the drip towels and use the Dollar General men's kit later.
As a hospital caregiver who has already had some assholes make stupid remarks about my mask in public before they became mandatory here, I don't want to take the chance of being a carrier, especially any extended close contact.
To that woman toting the "I wanna haircut" sign:
