(Imperial Model is working)…That according to the Governor.

Gavin Newsom announced this week that Imperial County’s positivity rate decrease from 30.3 percent to 11.2 percent after successful targeted local and state interventions. The intervention strategy, now referred to as the Imperial Model, will be used in other parts of California to identify local needs and flood the zone with resources. Similar to the approach implemented in Imperial County, an advanced focus and allocation of resources will be placed on areas with essential workplaces and workers, heightened culturally competent messaging about COVID 19 will be deployed through a public awareness and education campaign and, as necessary, closures will take place.
