California orders thousands of body bags as Covid death toll grows
The grim preparations are a sobering reminder that the state is in a dangerous situation, the governor said.
California has purchased thousands of body bags and has dozens of refrigerated storage units on standby as it prepares to deal with a growing death toll from Covid-19.
The orders for 5,000 body bags and 60 53-foot-long refrigerated units to have ready for counties and hospitals should be a sobering statistic, Gov. Gavin Newsom said.
