California Becomes First State to Formally Shift into 'Endemic' Approach to China Virus

California has become the first state in the U.S. to formally shift into an “endemic” approach to the coronavirus.
Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom on Thursday announced the plan, which shifts the state’s focus from mask mandates and business shutdowns to prevention techniques and quickly addressing outbreaks.
“We are moving past the crisis phase into a phase where we will work to live with this virus,” Newsom said from a warehouse full of pandemic supplies outside of Los Angeles.
