More than 25,000 licensed health care workers have applied for a “Health Corps” initiative launched by California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Monday, as the state battles the COVID-19 pandemic.

Newsom called for the help of medical professionals, saying the number of patients hospitalized with COVID-19—the disease caused by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) virus, commonly known as the novel coronavirus—in California had nearly doubled over the past four days and the number of ICU patients tripled during that time.
