newsom: thank you. reporter: hi, governor. i'm wondering if you could give us an update on your efforts you announced over the weekend on testing. have you guys been able to dramatically ramp up testing, as you said you wanted to? and are there plans to start using that antibody test more widely? 800. newsom: we are at 157, tests we have conducted in the state. we're starting to see these things ramp up. over the course of the next few weeks, 25,000 on a daily basis. so i feel confident in what we announced and what is happening across the state with our task force and the good work they are doing. aprt -- part of that work includes, as you suggest, the partnership with stanford university for moving to blood-based tests, and those are continuing on pace. i don't want to over-promise. we will start small and see incremental improvements in that testing modality as well. asedot just pcr swab-b tests, but blood-based tests are part of protocols in the state of california, and yes, stanford did get fda app

newsom: that is right. pres. clinton: one other thing, in yourhe key elements plan to be able to reopen itifornia, and i like because it does not overpromise that you could not do things -- could do things you couldn't, one of the things you have to be able to do is to track people [indiscernible] who are they in contact with? a recurrenceevent of this? thats recently announced they will try to grow a statewide tracking program and they have asked partners to help but where are we going to get all of these contact tracers? like california did, when it comes to people, should we have contact tracing, even if we call it something more elegant? certainly, we have built the first public health network we have ever really built in this country. the answer is absolutely yes. we have learned from them and sharing best practices in real-time. this is an interesting point. we have tracing capacity that predates covid-19 then goes back to sars, tb, etc., tracking and tracing capacity that exists at the county levels primar

newsom: it depends. if you asked me what 7-eleven has done versus the gap or these distilleries converting into hand sanitizing companies, each and every instance is different. you have companies that are contributing all of that. apple did that with our masks that arrived. the ventilators that elon musk provided, 100% contributed, no cost to the taxpayer. there is a modest cost to refurbish some of the ventilators and that is born through our mercy grants, by state dollars to the extent appropriate on the front end and we get rebar since on the back end. so each and every instance, the answer is different, based upon the largess of the contribution, the creativity at play. >> can you generally characterize how much has been donated and how much the state has been spending? gov. newsom: we will give you an updated number on that. i am trying to procure in real time all of these assets. it is an extraordinary amount of money, energy, time and volunteer and philanthropic support. that we are seeing, it is

newsom says local governments will be making the decisions there. now, in phase three, we could begin lifting restrictions at high risk, close-contact businesses. these are things like hair and nail salons, gyms, movie theaters, churches and weddings. things that keep us in really close quarters with one another and sports could return. the key here, though, without live audiencesp now, the final phase would be phase four when the stay at home order would be lifted here in california. we could maybe be able to enjoy a concert, con see the warriors and 49ers play in person. we are many months away from that final phase and says we can only get there with a few things, immunity to the virus, vaccine and more testing. things we all heard a lot about. good news, weeks away from meaningful changes. reporting live this morning, julian glover, abc7 news. >> julian, thank you. >>> a grim milestone for the u.s. according to john hopkins university. we have surpassed more than 1 million cases of coronavirus in the country. jobina fortson at the live desk with

governor newsom has a plan to fully r y reopen our economy, t depends on these six steps. starting with the first one, governor newsom says we must expand coronavirus testing and trace everyone who may have been in contact with people who tested positive. additional steps must be taken to ensure that seniors, homeless people and others at risk of contracting the virus stay safe. the governor says he expects smaller outbreaks in the future, so medical facilities must be prepared to handle potential surges. he's also looking into working with research hospitals to develop therapies for covid-19 patients. businesses, schools and other public spaces would be expected to continue social distancing after they reopen. the governor says we should be prepared to return to stricter measures if the situation warrants it. as for a timeline, nothing is set in stone yet. >> if we see a continued decline, not just flattening, but a decline in hospitalizations and icus and we see this workforce and the infrastructure and ppe needs met as we anticipatemay, first week in may to start seeing

what else has governor newsom done to minimize the pain here?ry interesting because there's no road map here. you're really going by what you think is right. he has a blue ribbon commission of people in the state to guide him on further moves to deal with this issue. he asked for 37,000 people to volunteer to help on the front lines. 72,000 retired health personnel applied and are on the front lines relieving these people. he's found money to help those who are undocumented immigrants who nonetheless have health care issues related to covid-19. $125 million the governor has put towards that. president trump , you can imagine, is rolling his eyes over that one. these have coming out of gavin newsom's thinking cap, so to speak and has moved this in ways people can't imagine to try to deal with this thing. if you look at the data, what the death rate is, we are very, very low. it's tragic, of course. one death is tragic. it's very low compared to other states. you have to believe this is due to his very proactive attitude. >> and wrapping up, do yo
