June 10, 3:10 p.m. Top White House advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci is refuting the Worth Health Organization's claim that asymptomatic spread of the novel coronavirus is rare.
During a Wednesday interview on "Good Morning America," Fauci noted the WHO has “walked that back because there’s no evidence to indicate that’s the case,” and added there is plenty of evidence to suggest asymptomatic spread is indeed significant.
“The evidence we have given the percentage of people, which is about 25% to 45%, of the totality of infected people likely are without symptoms,” he said. “And we know from epidemiological studies that they can transmit to someone who is uninfected even when they are without symptoms.”
The comment was made by Dr. Maria Van Kerkhove, head of the WHO’s emerging diseases and zoonosis unit. She later called her remarks a "misunderstanding."
“I was responding to a question at the press conference," she said. "I wasn’t stating a policy of WHO or anything like that. I was just trying to articulate what we know. And in that, I used the phrase ‘very rare,’ and I think that that’s a misunderstanding to state that asymptomatic transmission globally is very rare. I was referring to a small subset of studies.”
June 10, 2:40 p.m. Santa Clara County has issued an order requiring all large health care systems in the county to provide testing to all patients within their systems who meet certain criteria.
Under the order, healthcare systems must conduct tests on all patients who:
—Have COVID-19 symptoms,
—Have been exposed to someone confirmed to have the virus
—Are at a higher of exposure because they work in front-line settings, take public transit, or have recently attended a mass gathering such as a protest.
Health care systems are defined as "all acute care hospitals, and all clinics and urgent care facilities operated by organizations that run an acute care hospital in the county or elsewhere."
June 10, 12:50 p.m. The president of a Silicon Valley medical technology company was charged Tuesday with misleading investors by falsely claiming the company had developed a government-approved blood test for the new coronavirus — the first criminal securities fraud prosecution related to the COVID-19 pandemic, federal officials said.
Mark Schena, the president of Arrayit Corporation, was charged with one count of securities fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit health care fraud after authorities said his company billed Medicare $69 million for coronavirus and unnecessary allergy tests.

June 10, 6:50 a.m. On Friday, the State of California will move deeper into Stage 3 of Gov. Gavin Newsom's four-phase reopening plan with several new sectors of the economy allowed to resume business in counties with regional variances.
Movie theaters and family entertainment centers, wineries and bars, zoos and museums, gyms and fitness centers, hotels for tourism, card rooms, racetracks and campgrounds and outdoor recreation can all open with county approval and if safety protocols are followed.
The state has released specific guidance for each of these sectors that was posted on the state's COVID19.ca.gov website this week to allow businesses to prepare.
The "guidance should be implemented only with county health officer approval following their review of local epidemiological data including cases per 100,000 population, rate of test positivity, and local preparedness to support a health care surge, vulnerable populations, contact tracing and testing," according to a statement from the state.
The following sectors are still closed: Personal services such as nail salons, tattoo parlors, body waxing; indoor playgrounds such as bounce centers, ball pits and laser tag; live theater; saunas and steam rooms; nightclubs; concert venues; festivals; theme parks; higher education.
Newsom is reopening the state's economy on a plan that's based on science and data and promotes social distancing. The governor has given several sectors statewide permission to open, including retail, manufacturing, outdoor museums and office space where teleworking isn't possible.
He's also allowing counties that meet certain COVID-19 benchmarks to move more quickly and open higher-risk businesses such as hair salons and restaurants with dine-in service. Dozens of counties have met this criteria, including Napa, Sonoma and Solano counties in the Bay Area (see a full list of counties). It's these counties that will be able to take a bigger step into Stage 3 on Friday.
