California Governor Gavin Newsom has activated the National Guard in an effort to increase COVID-19 testing in the weeks following a spike in coronavirus cases.

According to the governor’s office, more than 200 members of the National Guard will be deployed to increase access to testing.

“Over 200 Cal Guard members will be deployed across 50 Optum Serve Sites to increase access to testing quickly, increase staff, and add walk-in capacity beginning today and throughout the coming weeks,” a spokesperson for the governor’s office said.

The move comes in the weeks after a major spike in coronavirus cases.
