More than a million Californians have filed claims for unemployment insurance in less than two weeks due to layoffs or reduced hours amid the CCP virus pandemic, Gov. Gavin Newsom said during a March 25 press briefing.
A number of non-essential businesses across California have been forced to temporarily close after Newsom issued a stay-at-home order on March 19 in an effort to slow the spread of the virus, which has so far infected 3,154 people in the state and claimed the lives of 67.
