Governor of California converses with president of the United States

SF Gate:

There are 251 sites that are the backbone of the state’s testing, and in a survey of these, 55% said the top need is swabs.

The state is working to secure more swabs, and Newsom said he had a „pointed and honest“ phone conversation with President Donald Trump Wednesday morning. He said Trump promised a minimum of 100,000 swabs this week. Trump committed to 250,000 swabs next week.

„That was a very good phone call,“ he said. „I want to thank the president for not only being available for the phone call but for committing to an increase in the swabs.“
