California calls for ban on large events as coronavirus spreads; NBA suspends season
of 250 or more people across the entire state to slow the spread of coronavirus, which also prompted a new federal travel ban and the suspension if the NBA season.
And in an announcement that brought the spreading public health crisis home to Hollywood, Tom Hanks and his wife, Rita Wilson, said they have tested positive for the coronavirus. It applies to any foreign national who has been in Europe during the 14 days prior to their scheduled arrival in the U.S. The NBA’s announcement came after a player for the Utah Jazz tested positive for the coronavirus. In a bizarre scene, the game in Oklahoma City between the Thunder and the Jazz was delayed seconds before tipoff and canceled minutes later.
“If you are a person who is older and you have underlying health conditions or you have a serious immunocompromised system, or you are a pregnant woman or you are just aging, this is the time to avoid all nonessential travel, this is the time to stop going to events where there are large groups of people gathering, this is the time to stop going to the theater or concerts or sporting events,” Ferrer said.
But Los Angeles, Santa Clara and San Francisco counties are holding off such closures, at least for now. Santa Clara County, which has the state’s largest outbreak with 48 confirmed cases, is keeping its schools open for now. But others are closing. In the Sacramento suburb of Elk Grove, public schools were closed after two family members of students at several campuses tested positive for the coronavirus.
“WHO has been assessing this outbreak around the clock, and we’re deeply concerned both by the alarming levels of spread and severity and by the alarming levels of inaction,” Tedros said. Ideally, it would fall below the threshold that would swamp hospitals, urgent care clinics and medical offices. That’s why public health officials will continue the labor-intensive work of recording and tracking new infections, ensuring that infected individuals stay home and guarding the borders against the arrival of new cases.
