"We have been actively and extensively planning with our local public health and health care delivery systems," the department said in the news release.
The department listed things the state is doing in their response to COVID-19. On Tuesday, the state announced the release of millions of reserve N95 masks to address shortages caused by the virus.
Also, Gov. Gavin Newsom asked the state legislature to make $20 million available to respond to the spread. The money would come from the state's Disaster Response Emergency Operations Account
