California’s governor announced on Thursday that the state will treat the coronavirus as a manageable risk, marking a new phase of its pandemic response as officials look to reach a level of normalcy.
“What I think would be a big mistake is we are overly prescriptive in our response metrics to a specific variant or disease when in fact we know that omicron is not the last variant of this disease,” Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) said at a news conference.
