FROM THE STANDPOINT OF CASES, LAST NIGHT AS OF 7:00 P.M. LAST NIGHT, WE HAD 16TIVE CASES WITHIN OUR STATE. ONE OF THOSE CASES IS A NURSING HOME LADY, AND THAT NURSING HOME PERSON THAT IS AFFECTED AND EVERYTHING WAS THIS TERRIBLE VIRUS IS REALLY IMPORTANT. BECAUSE IT'S A DIFFERENT SITUATION IN THAT WE'VE HAD MANY WAY OF IDENTIFYING THAT WE WERE BASICALLY EXPOSED TO OUT OF OF COMMUNITY TRANSMISSION, SO IT IF DAYS AND VISITATION AT OUR NURSING HOMES. AVOIDED SOME LEVEL OF CONTAMINATION THAT COULD CAUSE US A POTENTIAL PROBLEM. DAYS AGO, BUT IT'S STILL A HUGE CONCERN. NOW, ASKED ALSO OUR SECRETARY 'CAUSE WHO WILL BE SPEAKING LATER ON AND EVERYTHING, TO DAILY INVENTORY OR HOSPITAL BEDS. AND HE IS WORKING AT THAT JUST AS WE SPEAK. THE DOCTOR WITH US NOW CAN LATER ON TELL YOU A LOT ABOUT HOW WE ARE RAMPING UP OUR TESTING. WE NOW HAVE 49 HOSPITALS OUT TESTS TO OUR PUBLIC AND PRIVATE LABS. WE HAVE 19 COMMUNITIES THAT ARE READY TO DO COMMUNITY-BASED TESTS AND -- THAT HAVE BEEN SUB WAITING THE PRIVATE ORGANIZATIONS TO RAMP UP OUR CAPACITY, AND WE HAVE TAKEN NECESSARY STEPS TO BE THE GUARD TO GO TO THE NURSING HOME WHERE WE HAD THIS POSITIVE TEST AND TO TEST EVERYONE THERE. THEY LEFT LAST NIGHT TO DO JUST THAT. IN ADDITION, THERE'S A VEHICLE THAT'S EN ROUTE TO MARYLAND TO PICK UP NEEDED SUPPLIES OF PROTECTIVE SUITS, OUR GENERAL IS WORKING WITH OUR TOURISM COMMISSIONER CHELSEA RUBY, ALONG WITH OUR STATE SUPERINTENDENTIVE SCHOOLS, CLAYTON BIRCH IN ORDER FEEDING PROBLEM THAT WE HAVE TO AND A SPANISH THANKS TO A HUNDRED PLUS RESTAURANTS AND HOTELS THAT ARE OFFERING UP THEIR ASSISTANCE IN THIS FEEDING PROGRAM JUST AS WELL. THE GENERAL IS GOING TO REPORT ON, HE'S WORKING WITH THE U.S. CORPS OF ENGINEERS, AND THEY'RE SITES THAT WE PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT ABOUT IN THE FAIRMONT, THE WILLIAMSON, WHEELING, SPACE AND HAVE THEM STAFFED PROPERLY AND EVERYTHING FROM THE DR. CLAY MARSH IS WITH US TODAY, AND DR. MARSH AND I SPEAK 50 TIMES A DAY, BUT NEVERTHELESS, WE SPOKE LAST NIGHT ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF REACHING OUT TO THE MED SCHOOLS AND SEE IF THE MED SCHOOLS CAN HELP PROVIDE PEOPLE AS WELL AS POTENTIAL DORM ROOMS FROM THE STANDPOINT OF IF WE HAVE A SUR SURGE, AN -- A SURGE. WBA AND MARSHALL WERE WILLING AND WE GOT THAT APPROVAL ALMOST INSTANTANEOUSLY, SO SPECIAL THANKS TO THOSE UNIVERSITIES. FROM THE STANDPOINT OF WORKFORCE, YOU KNOW, WE ARE PROCESSING UNEMPLOYMENT CLAIMS AT LIGHT SPEED. AND PEOPLE ARE WORKING AROUND THE CLOCK TO DO SO. TO EVEN JUST GO HIGHER. LIKE TO READ THIS TO YOU. AS FAR AS THE CONTINUING, PROTECTING OUR CITIZENS AND THE ORDERING TODAY THAT OUR CABINS, WHICH WE LEFT OPEN, AND OUR RESTROOMS, BE CLOSED TO THE AS WELL AS OUR STREAMS AND GOLF COURSES AND WALKING, ALL THAT, ALL THAT, YOU KNOW, WILL BE IN REALLY BADLY -- WE'RE GOING TO DECLARE WEDNESDAY, MARCH 25th, A DAY OF STATE PRAYER. AND WE'RE GOING TT HAVE A NICE LEADERS TO COME, AND JOIN WITH ME, IN A DAY OF STATE PRAYER. BECAUSE IF THERE'S ANY TIME, AND I BELIEVE IT'S ALL TIMES, BUT IT SURELY, IF THERE'S A TIME WHEN WE NEED TO BE LOOKING TO GOD ABOVE FOR ASSISTANCE IN ANY IN EVERY WAY WE POSSIBLY CAN. NOW, IF I COULD MO FORWARD AND WANT TO BE FULLY TRANSPARENT. THAT I HAVE ANY NEWS WHATSOEVER, FEEL A NEED TO BE ABLE TO TALK TO YOU, IT'S IMPORTANT THAT ALL SITUATION TODAY. THE MAGNITUDE IS UNBELIEVABLE. IT'S HARD FOR ANY OF US TO GET OUR ARMS AROUND AND TRULY UNDERSTAND, BUT REALLY, WHEN IT REALLY BOILS RIGHT DOWN TO IT, IT'S THE BIGGEST EVENT OF ANY THERE IS NO EVENT EVER IN THE HISTORY OF TIME THAT HAS BEEN LIKE THIS TOPEOPLE THAT LIVE IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA TODAY. NOW, THE OTHER THING THAT IS DIFFICULT MAYBE TO UNDERSTAND IS HOW FLUID IT IS. THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN LAY ASIDE FOR A COUPLE DAYS DETAILS AT THAT TIME. OUR PEOPLE ARE WORKING AROUND AND WE'RE ON IT, AND WE'RE ON IT WE'VE DONE GOOD STUFF AS FAR AS PUSHING THE RIGHT BUTTONS. AND THAT HAS LED US TO ONLY 16 POSITIVE TESTS AT THIS TIME. BUT WE'VE GOT TO REALIZE JUST IF NOT THE HIGHEST RISK STATE, SO WE'VE GOT TO KEEP AWARE OF JUST EXACTLY JUST THAT. WE'VE DONE THINGS FROM BARS, AND CLOSING RESTAURANTS, AND ALL THE DIFFERENT, YOU KNOW, THE STATE OFCY, ALL THE DIFFERENT THINGS WE'VE DONE. NOW, I'D LIKE TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE INSIGHT INTO MY DISCUSSION WITH YOU ON SATURDAY NIGHT. I WANT TO TELL YOU EXA EVERYTHING, BECAUSE IT'S IMPORTANT TO ME THAT YOU KNOW. ON FRIDAY EVENING, I WAS CONTACTED BY SEVERAL OF OUR I WAS CONTACTED OVER AND OVER THAT WE HAVE TAKEN ALL THE NECESSARY STEPS THAT WE NEEDED TO DO, EVERY ONE OF THE PROPER, NECESSARY STEPS WE WERE RIGHT ON TRACK WITH. THEN ON SATURDAY MORNING, ADDITIONAL HEALTH OFFICIALS CALLED ME TO ADVISE ME THAT THEY FELT LIKE THAT I NEEDED TO GO ON AND GIVE YOU AN ADDRESS TO TRY TO URGE YOU TO DO JUST ONE THING THAT I DID -- DO BETTER. BUT IN OTHER WAYS, WE WERE LOSING THE BATTLE. NOW, WITH ALL THAT BEING SAID, I DIDN'T WANT TO GO THROUGH THE WEEKEND AND I SURELY WOULDN'T GO AGAINST THE ADVICE OF OUR MEDICAL COMMUNITY. AT THE TIME THAT WE WENT ON THE AIR, EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US, ALL OF US HERE, ALL THE MEDICAL COMMUNITY, THE GUARD, ALL OF MY PEOPLE WITHIN MY OFFICE AND EVERYTHING, NO ONE THOUGHT IT WAS NECESSARY AT THAT POINT IN TIME TO TAKE THE BIGGEST STEP FORWARD AND SHUT THE ENTIRE STATE DOWN. NOW, THINGS CONTINUE TO CHANGE. WE MET AGAIN ALL DAY ON SUNDAY. THROUGH THAT TIME, THERE ARE BORDERING STATES THAT ARE TAKING MAYBE TO MAKE THEIR WAYS INTO WEST VIRGINIA. IT'S A REAL PROBLEM. WE CAN'T HAVE THAT HAPPEN. NOW, THE NEXT THING THAT HAPPENS IS WE HAVE A POSITIVE FROM ONE OF OUR OWN NURSING HOMES. THAT IS TREMENDOUSLY CONCERNING. YOU KNOW, WHEN I WAS PLANNING TO MEET WITH YOU AT 11:00 THIS MORNING, MY INTENTION WAS AT THAT TIME TO CLOSE ALL OF THE NONESSENTIAL BUSINESSES WITHIN THE STATE. EVEN MORE THINGS HAVE CHANGED NOW. AND SINCE THAT TIME, YOU KNOW, I HAVE HAD MORE CONSULTATIONS BACK AND FORTH WITH OUR HEALTH OFFICIALS, AND IT'S BECOME EVEN MORE SERIOUS. SO THEREFORE, TODAY, I AM MOVING FORWARD RIGHT NOW WITH A STAY HOME ORDER THAT WILL GO IN PLACE IMMEDIATELY. THIS ORDER ALSO TEMPORARILY SHUTS DOWN ALL NONESSENTIAL BUSINESSES. THE ORDER WILL GO INTO EFFECT AT 8:00 P.M. TOMORROW. RECEIPT ME TELL YOU A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT A STAY HOME ORDER IS. AND I'LL START WITH WHAT IT IS NOT. LAW. IT'S NOT GOING TO BE THAT SOMEBODY IS GOING TO COME AND LOCK YOU IN YOUR HOME, IT'S NOT THAT WE ARE SHUTTING DOWN THE STATE BORDERS, IT IS NOT THAT WE'RE CLOSING ANY BRIDGES OR ROADS. AND WE CAN DO ALL THIS AND SLOW DOWN THIS TERRIBLE VIRUS EVEN MORE. NOW, LET ME TELL YOU WHAT IT IS. IT'S JUST THIS -- YOU CAN LEAVE YOUR HOME TO PERFORM OR RECEIVE ESSENTIAL SERVICES, OR IF YOU WORK AT AN ESSENTIAL SERVICE BUSINESS. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? IT MEANS YOU CAN LEAVE YOUR HOME, OBTAINING FOOD, MEDICINE, AND NECESSARY MEDICAL CARE. YOU CAN GO TO WORK IF YOU PROVIDE THESE SERVICES OR SUPPORT THEM -- YOU CAN GO CHECK ON FAMILY MEMBERS. YOU CAN GO TO YOUR PLACE OF WORSHIP. IT MEANS YOU CAN DO OUTDOOR ACTIVITY AND IT HIGHLY RECOMMENDS THAT WE MINIMIZE THAT TO BELOW 10 PEOPLE AND TO A SIX-FOOT SPACE. IF YOUR BUSINESS OR OPERATION IS NOT ESSENTIAL, THEN YOU'LL BE TEMPORARILY CLOSED. IT IS AN EXECUTIVE ORDER THAT ALL THE DETAILS ARE ON MY WEBSITE. NOW, LET ME JUST SAY THIS IN CONCLUSION, AND THEN I'LL PASS OFF TO THESE OTHERS. WE HAVE OKAYS BEEN PRO ACTIVE IN EVERY WAY, SHAPE, FORM, AND FASHION. WE'VE BEEN TRANSPARENT BEYOND BELIEF. WE HAVE ENCOURAGED AND EVERYTHING ELSE WHEN WE ACTUALLY COULD DRAW CRITICISM: WE HAVE ABSOLUTELY DONE AND PUSHED THE RIGHT BUTTONS AT THE RIGHT TIME. BUT IT'S STILL NOT ENOUGH. THIS DISEASE IS REALLY SERIOUS STUFF. PLEASE, STAY HOME. PLEASE, LISTEN TO OUR ORDERS. AND PLEASE, IN EVERY WAY, SHAPE, FORM, OR FASHION, KEEP CONSULTING YOUR GOD ABOVE, AND ABSOLUTELY EVERY ONE OF US WILL GET THROUGH THIS. HELP THE ELDERLY IN ANY WAY YOU CAN, IF ALL YOU DO IS PICK UP THE PHONE AND MAKE A WONDERFUL NICE CALL. ANYWAY, I THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART,AKE YOUR QUESTIONS IN JUST A FEW MINUTES, AND NOW WE'LL PASS ON TO THE OTHERS. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, AS PART OF OUR BRIEFING TODAY OUR FRIENDS WITH THE MEDIA ARE JOINING US BY TELECONFERENCE. WE'LL BE TAKING THEIR QUESTIONS IN JUST A MOMENT, BUT FIRST WE'RE GOINGGTO TAKE A FEW COMMENTS FROM OUR PANEL MEMBERS, FIRST UP IS DR. CLAY MARSH. DR. MARSH, GO AHEAD. IT'S REALLY AN IMPORTANT MOMENT, I THINK, IN THIS PANDEMIC THAT WE'RE SEEING TODAY. THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN RESOURCES WITH SECRETARY CROUCH AND THE COMMISSIONER, WITH THE GOVERNOR AND THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE, AND I WOULD SAY ALL OF THE MEDICAL SCHOOLS ARE COMMITTED AND CONNECTED AROUND SUPPORTING THE STATE IN ANY WAY THAT WE CAN. AND ALL THE HOSPITALS SIMILARLY. WE HAD SET UP AT THE VERY BEGINNING OF THIS PROCESS, AN APPROACH WHERE WE WERE GOING TO LOOK AT TWO THINGS. THIS IS WHAT THE GOVERNOR ALLUDED TO. THE TWO THINGS THAT WE WERE GOING TO USE TO MAKE DECISIONS ABOUT HOW WE SHOULD MOVE, WERE NUMBER ONE, THE RATE OF POSITIVE TESTS RELATED TO THE TOTAL NUMBER OF TESTS THAT WE DID FOR THE NOVEL CORONAVIRUS, BECAUSE WE KNEW AT SOME POINT WE WOULD SEE A GREAT UPTICK WHEN THE CORONAVIRUS SPREAD STARTED TO GO THE SECOND WAS TO LOOK FOR COMMUNITY SPREAD. BECAUSE IF WE HAD COMMUNITY SPREAD OR WE WOULD SEE THAT THERE WOULD BE A REALLY STARK AND FRANKEL INVASION IN THE RATE OF SPREAD, THEN WE WOULD KNOW, ONE, OUR HEALTH CARE WORKERS AND HEALTH CARE ASSETS WOULD BE AT RISK OF EXPERIENCING THE THE TSUNAMI WAVE THAT I'LL TALK ABOUT IN JUST A SECOND, AGAIN. AND NUMBER TWO, FOR THE COMMUNITY SPREAD, IT MEANS THAT NOW THE CORONAVIRUS IS INSIDE THE STATE, IT'S NOT JUST PEOPLE COMING FROM OUTSIDE THE STATE, AND SO THEREFORE, WE KNEW THAT THE PREVENTIVE MEASURES THAT WE WERE TAKING WAS NOT SUFFICIENT TO STOP THE SPREAD OF THE NOVEL CORONAVIRUS. AS WE'VE TALKED ABOUT QUITE A BIT, AND AS NEW YORK CITY HAS EXPERIENCED, IF YOU DON'T STOP THE RATE OF SPREAD, THEN THE RATE CAN START TO CREATE A SURGE OR A TSUNAMI WAVE, THAT THEN AFFECTS THE HEALTH CARE WORKERS. AND WHEN WE LOOK AGAIN AT THE MORTALITY RATES AROUND THE WORLD, IF YOU CAN CONTROL THE RATE OF SPREAD, AND NOT HAVE THIS SURGE, THE MORTALITY FROM THIS DISEASE IS 1%. IF THIS SURGE HAPPENS, THEN THE RATE OF -- THE INCIDENTS OF OURS, HAS 8%. NEW YORK CITY DIDN'T DO THE VERY DIFFICULT SITUATION WITH ALL THE PEOPLE, BUT THEY DIDN'T DO THE THINGS WE DID, AND THEY PREPARED AND THEY HAD A LOT OF CAPACITY, IN THEIR EMERGENCY ROOMS AND INITIALLY NOBODY CAME AND THEY SAID HEY, WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL? BUT THEN THE SURGE CAME AND THEY'RE UNDER WATER TODAY. GOVERNOR CUOMO HAS ASKED FOR 50,000 MORE BEDS. MAYOR DEBLASIO HAS ASKED FOR 3.3 MILLION MORE MASKS, AND WE KNOW BY PROJECTION THE END OF THEIR SURGE, THE PEAK OF THEIR PROBLEM DOESN'T HAPPEN FOR A MONTH FROM NOW. AND SO WHEN WE LOOK AT THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL, BASICALLY PROJECTED THAT WE COULD HAVE 1.7 MILLION DEATHS, OR A PROJECTION FROM THE UNITED KINGDOM MODELING GROUP THAT SAID IT COULD BE 2.2 MILLION DEATHS IN THIS COUNTRY, IT WASN'T JUST BECAUSE OF THE CORONAVIRUS, BUT BECAUSE THE CORONAVIRUS CAN DECIMATE THE HEALTH SYSTEM'S ABILITY TO RESPOND. SO I THINK WHAT GOVERNOR JUSTICE HAS DONE AND WHAT OUR HEALTH LEADERS AND THE OTHER MEDICAL SYSTEMS, THE HOSPITALS, THE GREAT MEDICAL SCHOOLS WE HAVE IN OUR STATE HAVE DONE NOW IS COMPLETELY APPROPRIATE AND IMPORTANT, AND IMPORTANTLY AS OF YESTERDAY, WE WERE STILL NOT -- WE STILL HADN'T BELOW KEN THROUGH EITHER ONE OF THOSE THRESHOLDS. SO THIS FINDING WITH COMMUNITY TRANSMISSION, PARTICULARLY IN A NURSING HOME, AND WE KNOW IN KIRKLAND, WASHINGTON, WHICH WAS ONE OF THE FIRST SITES OF THE SPREAD OF THE CORONAVIRUS IN THIS COUNTRY, THAT OF 127 NURSING HOME RESIDENTS, 35 DIED. AND SO AT ONE POINT ABOUT 80% OF THE DEATHS IN THIS COUNTRY WAS FROM ONE NURSING HOME IN WASHINGTON STATE. SO WE DON'T WANT THAT TO BE US. WE DON'T WANT TO OVERWHELM THE HEALTH CARE WORKERS, AND WE DON'T WANT OUR VERY VULNERABLE POPULATION TO BE AT RISK. SO I PRAISE GOVERNOR JUSTICE FOR MAKING THIS MOVE, I THINK THIS IS GOOD FOR WEST VIRGINIA, FOR OUR HEALTH, FOR OUR FUTURE, AND THIS IS THE MOVES BEING VERY AGGRESSIVE THAT CAN KEEP THAT RATE OF SPREAD OF THE CORONAVIRUS DOWN ENOUGH TO MAINTAIN THE HEALT ONE MORE THING THAT I THINK IS REALLY IMPORTANT. WHEN WE FIRST EXPERIENCED THIS NOVEL CORONAVIRUS, WE WERE UNDERSTANDING FROM THE CHINESE EXPERIENCE, SOUTH KOREAN ITALY THAT YOUNGER PEOPLE SEEMED TO NOT HAVE THE SAME RISK OF GARRETTING THE SEVERE DISEASE THAT OLDER PEOPLE. WELL, THAT'S CHANGED NOW. IN THE UNITED STATES, 38% OFPITAL FROM THIS DISEASE ARE LESS THAN 55 YEARS OLD. AND WE HAVE 20 AND 4 SO I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT GOTTEN A FREE PASS FROM THIS, BECAUSE THEY HAVEN'T. SO IT'S JUST AS IMPORTANT THAT YOUNG PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITIES MAINTAIN SAFETIES TANS, MAINTAIN GOOD HAND WASHING, AND ALSO ARE PAYING EXTREME ATTENTION TO WHAT GOVERNOR JUSTICE HAS SAID. THANK YOU U. DR. MARSH. GENERAL HOYER, WOULD YOU LIKE TO GIVE SOME COMMENTS? GOOD AFTERNOON. JUST TO REINFORCE A COUPLE THINGS THE GOVERNOR HAS DIRECTED THE GUARD TO DO. THE GOVERNOR HAS DIRECTED THE GUARD TO USE ALL OF ITS ASSETS AVAILABLE TO SUPPORT AGENCIES THAT NEED TO BE SUPPORTED IN THIS DEMAND. I'D LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT A COUPLE WE'RE WORKING WITH WELL AS THE TOURISM DIRECTOR, COMMISSIONER ROSS WELL FROM IMPORTANT ISSUE THAT WE NEED TO ADDRESS, AND THE GOVERNOR HAS RELATED TO DATA ANALYTICS. ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS IN ADDITION TO THE THINGS THAT WE CAN DO AS A STATE IS TO MAKE ANALYSIS, AND GOOD INFORMATION SO THAT THOSE EXPERTS CAN PROVIDE THE APPROPRIATE INFORMATION TO THE GOVERNOR JUST LIKE WE'VE DONE OVER THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS TO STEM THE FLOW OF WE'RE ALSO WORKING ON TRAINING. WE'RE WORKING ON TRAINING WITH MEDICAL PROVIDERS, ASFIRST RESPONDERS, AND WE'VE EXPANDED THAT INTO WORKING WITH THE RETAILERS ASSOCIATION TO HELP DO BETTER PREVENTION FOR THOSE WORKERS OUT THERE WHO ARE SUPPLYING US WITH THE FOOD AND THE ESSENTIAL SERVICES. WE'LL WORK WITH BANKS AND OTHERS THE SITUATION SO THAT WE LIMIT THE FLOW AND THE SPREAD OF THIS VIRUS. POINTED THIS OUT EARLIER, THE MOST IMPORTANT THING THE NATIONAL GUARD CAN DO IN THIS IS NOT PUT GUARDSMEN ON THE BORDER TO STOP PEOPLE COMING BACK AND FORTH ON THE BORDER. IT'S TO USE OUR SKILLS AND CAPABILITIES TO SUPPORT THE AGENCIES THAT NEED TO DO THE WORK IN THIS, TO BE A FORCE MULTIPLIER TO BETTER UND VIRUS. I GO BACK TO GEORGE WASHINGTON AND THE BAND OF MILITIAMEN THAT WON THE REVOLUTION. IFFYOU PAY ATTENTION, ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS GENERAL WASH DID WAS PROVIDE THE INTELLIGENT SUPPORT TO ADDRESS THE THREAT. THOSE ARE THE KEY THINGS THAT WE'LL BE DOING AND CONTINUE TO FROM ANYBODY WE CAN SUPPORT GOING FORWARD. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, GENERAL HOYER. I'LL BE VERY SHORT. I CAN'T ADD TOO MUCH TO WHAT THE GOVERNOR SAID, AND WHAT CLAY OR GENERAL HOYER SAID. THIS IS THE RIGHT MOVE AT THE RIGHT TIME. I PERSONALLY WAS HOPING IT WAS GOING TO BE DOWN THE ROAD, A WEEK OR TWO WEEKS, AND THAT'S THE REASON FOR SEVERAL WEEKS WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT PHYSICAL SEPARATION AND MAKING SURE YOU USE GOOD HYGIENE, IT'S ONE OF THE THINGSERNOR EXPRESSED AGAIN ON SATURDAY NIGHT, TO TRY TO MAKE SURE WE MOVE THIS FORWARD SO THAT OUR HEALTH CARE FACILITIES IN THE STATE HAVE THE ABILITY TO CARE FOR THESE FOLKS OVER A PERIOD OF TIME. SO THE ONLY THING -- OTHER THING I'LL MENTION IS OUR HEALTH CARE WORKERS, WE HAVE SOME FOLKS OUT THERE WHO ARE HEROES, THIS IS -- IT'S A TOUGH TIME FOR EVERYONE. IT'S A SITUATION THAT WE'VE NOT BEEN IN BEFORE LIKE THIS, WE REALLY HAVE NO REFERENCE POINT. BUT WE'LL GET THROUGH THIS, WE'RE GOING TO SUPPORT OUR HEALTH CARE WORKERS, WE'RE GOING TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DO ALL WE CAN TO KEEP THEM SAFE. THANK YOU. I TOO FULLY CONCUR IT IS TIME TO MAKE THIS TRANSITION IN TERMS OF, WE HAVE SEEN THE COMMUNITY-BASED INITIATIVE SPREADING. I THINK I'D TALK ABOUT THREE AREAS. ONE IS TESTING, WE CLEARLY ARE WORKING TO EXPAND TESTING IN THE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM, BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE IT TYPICALLY ALWAYS NEEDS TO BE. LOTS OF WORK UNDERWAY IN THAT ARENA SO WE CAN MOVE OUR PUBLIC HEALTH LABORATORY BACK TO DOING ITS MISSION OF SUPPORTING CASE INVESTIGATION, OUTBREAK INVESTIGATION, PUBLIC HEALTH RESPONSE, WHICH IS THE OTHER PIECE THAT IS NEEDED TO MANAGE THIS EVENT. WE CLEARLY AS A NATION, YOU DON'T HAVE TO TEST EVERYONE IN A SITUATION, THINK ABOUT THAT WITH FLU OR OTHER THINGS, YOU CAN MANAGE A LOT OF IT C INICALLY. SO WE NEED TO BE VERY CAREFUL IN MAKE SURE THEY ARE THE ONES THAT MAKE THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE IN TERMS OF ACTION, AND WE CAN SEE MORE ABOUT WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE TO FOLLOW UP. THE SECOND AREA I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT IS THE ISSUE OF HEALTH CARE SYSTEM SUPPORT, WHICH THAT'S WHAT SECRETARY CROUCH BROUGHT UP. LOTS OF WORK UNDERWAY IN TERMS OF IDENTIFYING SOURCES FOR PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AND OTHER SUPPORT SYSTEMS THAT ARE GOING TO BE CRITICAL, AND SO THOSE ARE ACTIVELY BEGINNING TO FLOW N AND MOVE. THE THIRD AREA I'LL TOUCH BASE ON IS WHEN WE'RE DOING CLEARLY ANXIETY PROVOKING, AND IT MAKES US ALL NERVOUS. WE HAVE TO MAKE -- THINK ABOUT HOW WE REALLY CONNECT WHEN WE REACH OUT TO EACH OTHER. I THINK THE GOVERNOR WONDERFULLY MENTIONED A DAY OF PRAYER COMING UP ON WEDNESDAY. RESOURCE FOR ALL OF US. AND TRULY, I'VE BEEN SPEAKING TO FAITH-BASED LEADERS, THE HEART OF THE CHURCH IS NOT BASED ON PHYSICAL PROXIMITY. SO WHILE WORSHIP IN A TRADITIONAL SENSE OF GATHERING TOGETHER IN A WORSHIP SPACE PROBABLY IS NOT APPROPRIATE AT THIS POINT, IT DOESN'T MEAN WORSHIP CEASES. THEY'RE DOING IT IN AMAZINGLY CREATIVE WAYS. NOR DOES IT MEAN THAT THE CHURCH'S MISSION IN COMMUNITY STOPS. AND SO IT IS INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT THERE AND NOW THAT THEY ARE OFFERING THAT HOSPITALITY, THAT CARE, THAT LOVE IN WAYS THAT ARE SMART, CREATIVE, AND SAFE. AND SO THEY -- WE ACTUALLY ARE HEARING INBOUND CREDIBLE ACTIONS THAT ARE UNDERWAY THERE, WHETHER IT BE RELATED TO NEW WAYS TO RECEIVE CHILDREN OR HELP PROVIDE CHILD CARE FOR HEALTH CARE WORKERS, OR PEOPLE -- KEEPING PEOPLE CONNECTED, EMOTIONALLY, SPIRITUALLY, AND SOCIALLY. IN FACT, A NEAT THING, WE ARE FINDING THAT THERE ARE SOME FOLKS SAYING THEY FEEL EVEN MORE CONNECTED AND MORE SOCIALLY CONNECTED BECAUSE OF THE INTENTIONALITY OF HOW EVERYONE AROUND THE STATE IS REACHING OUT TO CONNECT TO EACH OTHER AND CHECK ON EACH OTHER, AND DOING THAT IN WAYS THAT ARE NOT IN PERSON. SO THOSE ARE THE KIND OF THINGS THAT WILL HELP ALL OF US, REALLY MOVE TOWARD TOGETHER. THANK YOU SECRETARY CROUCH, AND DOCTOR. ONCE AGAIN, GOVERNOR JUSTICE AND OUR PANEL MEMBERS ARE HOLDING TODAY'S BRIEFING WITH MEDIA MEMBERS JOINING VIRTUALLY, TO ENSURE ALL OUTLETS TO HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO ASK QUESTIONS, EACH OUTLET WILL BE CALLED UPON BY ME. THE ORDER HAS BEEN SELECTED AT RANDOM. WHEN WE CALL ON YOU, PLEASE REMEMBER TO UNMUTE THE MICROPHONE ON YOUR END BEFORE ASKING YOUR QUESTION. PLEASE CONFIRM YOUR NAME AND AFFILIATION, AS WELL. THE FIRST REPORTER TODAY IS STEVEN ALLEN ADAMS WITH THE SOMETHING THAT WILL HELP ALL OF US -- THANK YOU, SECRETARY CROUCH AND DOCTOR. ONCE AGAIN, GOVERNOR JUSTICE AND OUR PANEL MEMBERS -- STEVEN, GO AHEAD. STEVE, TRY AGAIN. CAN YOU HEAR ME? YES. Caller: OKAY. MY QUESTION IS THIS -- THE SPREAD OF THE -- CAUSING THE ORDER TO GO INTO EFFECT THAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, THE CATALYST WAS THE COMMUNITY SPREAD THAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, RIGHT? OR WERE THERE OTHER FACTORS THAT WENT INTO YOU ALL PULLING THE TRIGGER ON THIS? BECAUSE A NUMBER OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN CALLING FOR THIS ORDER, EITHER CLOSING NONESSENTIAL BUSINESSES OR A STAY AT HOME ORDER. THERE HAVE BEEN A NUMBER OF PEOPLE CALLING ON THIS FOR THE LAST SEVERAL DAYS. SO I'M CURIOUS WHAT THE CATALYST WAS FOR IT. THANK YOU. I THINK IT REALLY IS THIS BEGINNING TO SEE THE TRANSMISSION OF SPREAD IN THE COMMUNITY. THE FIRST CASE OR TWO THAT WE'RE STARTING TO SEE WITH THAT, SO THAT'S JUST A TRIGGER POINT WE'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT AS A KEY MOMENT TO MAKE SURE WE REALLY ARE TAKING THE NEXT STEPS. WE KNOW FROM SIMULATION
