More than 30 people arrested at protests at California capitol

Update 8:24 p.m. EDT May 2: Authorities arrested 32 protesters who defied California’s stay-at-home order and instead rallied on the capitol steps to reopen the state.

There were more than 1,000 people at the “Re-Open California” rally calling on Gov. Gavin Newsom to lift the state’s stay-at-home mandate, KCRA reported.

Organizers had planned for supporters to obey social distance measures and stay in their cars while circling the capitol, however video showed protesters holding signs while gathered on the grounds, KCRA reported.

The California Highway Patrol said the event was unpermitted, the Los Angeles Times reported. The agency banned large in-person gatherings at the capitol last week.

The protest occurred during Newsom’s Friday afternoon briefing.

"All I ask for is this, and this is take care of yourself. Wear a face covering, do justice to physical distancing. You don’t want to contract this disease,” Newsom said. “This disease doesn’t know if you’re a protester, Democrat, Republican, support the election of one candidate or the ouster of another. It just knows one thing, and that is its host. And it has a remarkable ability: people with asymptomatic conditions to transfer to someone else.”

Another group held a similar protest April 21.

There are 52,632 confirmed cases and 2,171 deaths from the coronavirus in California, according to the New York Times.

Oklahoma city rescinds face mask requirement after customers make death threats at restaurant, store workers

Update 7:04 p.m. EDT May 2: A requirement for customers to wear face masks in stores and restaurants in Stillwater, Oklahoma, was met with such fierce opposition it was amended hours after it took effect.

Employees were physically threatened and verbally abused by customers who objected to the mandate, forcing officials to amend the order in a matter of hours to now encourage businesses to have patrons wear masks, not require them to.

"In the short time beginning on (Friday) that face coverings have been required for entry into stores/restaurants, store employees have been threatened with physical violence and showered with verbal abuse. In addition, there has been one threat of violence using a firearm. This has occurred in three short hours and in the face of clear medical evidence that face coverings helps contain the spread of COVID-19," Stillwater City Manager Norman McNickle said in a statement. "It is unfortunate and distressing that those who refuse and threaten violence are so self-absorbed as to not follow what is a simple show of respect and kindness to others."

There are 3,851 confirmed cases and 238 deaths from the coronavirus in Oklahoma, according to The New York Times.

Large crowds gather at NYC Central Park, DC National Mall

The city is not planning to rush into easing restrictions.

"The way we’re gonna ensure the worst is behind us is by keeping up these tough rules," de Blasio told CNN. "Of course we all want to restart, but we're not going to restart until we have harder evidence that we’ve turned the corner."

Arizona’s Maricopa County jail system reports first COVID-19 case

Update 4:14 a.m. EDT May 2: Arizona’s Maricopa County jail system reported its first case of the novel coronavirus in an inmate on Friday, The Washington Post reported.

According to a statement from the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office, the inmate, who was arrested April 26, complained of a cough and sore throat during his intake screening and was placed in an isolation cell before being transferred to a medical observation facility segregated from the general population.

The inmate, who was released on Wednesday, tested positive for COVID-19 the following day, the Post reported.

“The screening protocol that was developed and implemented worked exactly as it was intended to — it allowed staff to immediately identify and isolate an individual with symptoms, so they were not in the general population, which prevents exposure to other inmates,” the sheriff’s office said.

According to the sheriff’s office, a total of 123 of the jail systems inmates had been tested by Friday, with 15 placed in isolation while they await results. The remaining 108 tested negative.

The Maricopa County jail system is the fourth-largest jail system in the nation, booking an estimated 100,000 inmates per year, the Post reported.

Governor closes all roads leading to New Mexico coronavirus hot spot

Update 3:23 a.m. EDT May 2: New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham announced Friday the immediate closure of all roads leading into the city of Gallup in a bid to blunt the recent surge in novel coronavirus cases there.

Gallup, located about 140 miles west of Albuquerque, is found in McKinley County, where 1,027 positive COVID-19 cases have been confirmed, or nearly one-third of the state’s total 3,513 cases. According to data provided by Lujan Grisham’s office, that figure skyrocketed by 207 cases during a two-day span this week, prompting her to invoke New Mexico’s Riot Control Act, which authorizes her to “enact further temporary restrictions to mitigate the uninhibited spread of COVID-19 in that city.” As a result, the following temporary measures are effective immediately:

• All roads into Gallup are closed.

• All Gallup businesses will close nightly from 5 p.m. to 8 a.m.

• Only two people per vehicle will be allowed.

• Residents are advised to remain at home except for emergency outings and those essential for health, safety and welfare.”

“The spread of this virus in McKinley County is frightful, and it shows that physical distancing has not occurred and is not occurring,” Lujan Grisham said in the statement. “The virus is running amok there. It must be stopped, and stricter measures are necessary. A problem in one part of our state, with a virus this dangerous and this contagious, is a problem for our entire state.”

The emergency order is slated to expire at noon Monday.

Fauci to testify before US Senate health committee May 12

Update 2:43 a.m. EDT May 2: Dr. Anthony Fauci will testify before the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee on May 12, an aide to Committee Chairman Lamar Alexander confirmed to CNN.

The comments come hours after White House Deputy Press Secretary Judd Deere issued a statement calling it “counterproductive” for Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, to appear next week before a House Appropriations subcommittee.

“While the Trump Administration continues its whole-of-government response to COVID-19, including safely opening up America again and expediting vaccine development, it is counter-productive to have the very individuals involved in those efforts appearing at congressional hearings,” Deere said.
