Inspectors looking for health order violations over holiday weekend
LOS ANGELES — California Gov. Gavin Newsom warned local elected officials on Friday they risk state sanctions if they don’t enforce health orders as the coronavirus pandemic worsens, while about 200 state inspectors fanned out to look for violators over the long holiday weekend.
“A local government that refuses to abide by, ensure compliance with, or take enforcement action against noncompliance with these statewide public health directives, or that takes action that is otherwise incongruent with these directives, could jeopardize their eligibility for state funding,” Newsom said in letters to local officials.
The state budget that took effect this week includes $2.5 billion intended to help local governments pay for services that are needed because of the pandemic. But it is contingent on them following emergency health orders designed to slow the spread of the virus.
Law enforcement and other officials in some areas have publicly said they will not enforce the state health orders. But Newsom noted that it is a misdemeanor to violate state or local emergency orders or most local ordinances and encouraged “all peace officers” to enforce the orders.

WHO ARE THOSE STATE INSPECTOR’S?
IF you’re going to increase testing, what do you think will be the results? How many of the people tested had the virus and didn’t know it? We may have had cases that go back into 2019 that we just didn’t detect.
Then the question has to be asked…..HOW ACCURATE ARE THE TEST(S)? There are more than one test, and which one are the “experts” using?
