California Gov. Gavin Newsom said Monday that only about one percent of California’s 40 million residents have received a COVID-19 vaccine, an immunization rate that he decried as “not good enough.”

Newsom made the remarks at a briefing on Monday, during which he said the number of new COVID-19 infections on Sunday was nearly 30,000, while the seven-day average of daily deaths due to respiratory disease stands at 336.
