[VIDEO DESCRIPTION: Deaf Interpreter, Romduol Ngov, a Khmer genderfluid light skinned brown person with short black hair, wearing a dark green short-sleeve shirt, sitting in front of a black background, looking at the camera.] [[Top left corner] WHITE TEXT: October 27, 2020] [IMAGE DESCRIPTION: [Middle left]: Governor Gavin Newsom is a white man with slicked back grey hair. He is wearing a black suit with a light blue shirt and a dark blue tie. He is speaking and gesturing with his hand. He is standing in front of three flags and from left to right, they are the American flag, California state flag and California Office of Emergency Services (CalOES) flag.] [IMAGE DESCRIPTION: [Bottom left corner] WHITE TEXT: This video made possible with the support of: below White text is the GLAD logo in green/blue. GLAD block letters, above is GLAD in fingerspelled white font and next to GLAD is Greater Los Angeles Agency on Deafness, Inc.] TRANSCRIPT: DEAF INTERPRETER: Hello, my name is Romdoul and I will be interpreting Governor Newsom’s press conference from today, October 27. The Governor focused on three main issues: the wildfires, vaccines and coronavirus. [IMAGE DESCRIPTION: Picture of dry grass with a trail of orange flames next to black ground burned through with four firefighters in the background fighting the fire.] GOVERNOR NEWSOM: The first thing I want to discuss are the wildfires, specifically how the California wind and weather impacts the fire. As you know, California has been suffering through higher than normal temperatures. So when you consider that and factor in the dry vegetation and wind strength, you have a recipe for disaster. All of those things encourage dramatic fire growth and spread. The three things combined makes it very difficult to keep the fire controlled. I am about to show you the areas that may be severely impacted by fire growth. [WHITE TEXT: October 27 Wind Speed: Kirkwood Ridgetop: 140 mph San Gabriel Mountains: 96 mph Orange County: 88 mph Red Flag Warning End Time: Northern California: 5:00 pm Southern California: 11:00 pm] [IMAGE DESCRIPTION: Clip art of white circle with a red flag in the center next to a black triangle, yellow on the inside of the triangle with a black exclamation point (!)] GOVERNOR NEWSOM: Keep in mind that even though there is an end time for the Red Flag Warning, there is a possibility that strong winds will continue until Thursday. Northern and Southern California have the highest chance to get very strong winds. We expect the wind speed to reduce around 5pm for Northern California. If you live in Northern California, please stay safe and only go outside if you need to. Wind will continue to around 11pm for Southern California. [IMAGE DESCRIPTION: [FULL SCREEN TO TOP LEFT CORNER] Firefighter in full gear blasting a hose full of water at an area that is full with orange/yellow flames] GOVERNOR NEWSOM: California and our firefighters are still battling the fires. We are working very hard to keep the fire as contained as possible. [IMAGE DESCRIPTION: Three firefighters in full gear kneeling on the ground around one firefighter laying on the ground. Hands are trying to remove the firefighter’s helmet.] GOVERNOR NEWSOM: Two firefighters have been admitted into a hospital and my heart goes out to them. I want them to know how grateful we are for their hard work and we pray for their quick recovery. They were injured while doing their firefighting duties. I also want to express my gratitude for the firefighters still battling the fires and for sharing one common goal to put out the wildfires while making sure we are all safe. [IMAGE DESCRIPTION: Picture of night sky with background hills//mountain fully ablaze with orange flames with a long line of cars with headlights on coming down from the mountain.] GOVERNOR NEWSOM: So far it seems that there have been 31 wildfire-related deaths. My heart also goes out to these people and their families. It is important that you stay safe and obey when mandatory evacuation orders are issued. When you are told to leave, please pack your belongings and go to a safe area. Don’t wait! Some people prefer to stay in hotels instead of shelters that provide beds and food. Some people prefer hotels because there is less of a risk of contracting coronavirus. It’s important that you do not share rooms with people outside of your immediate social bubble. And the last wildfire-related thing I want to say is a big thank you to the U.S. Forest Service and CalFire for their neverending hard work in wildfire containment. [IMAGE DESCRIPTION: Map of California, Oregon and Washington in dark yellow and Nevada in light yellow] GOVERNOR NEWSOM: Now, I will talk about vaccines. Before I begin, I want to acknowledge a new group called The West Coast Government which was founded not long ago. Their focus is coronavirus and the states involved are Washington, Oregon, Nevada and California. But we also have experts from outside of these states, such as medical experts, science experts, disease control experts, and many more. The government from these states and the experts work together to develop a plan for testing vaccine safety and if it is ready for the public or not. Discussions are ongoing but we are ready to stop discussions and begin the actual planning. For example, suppose when we get the vaccine and we realize there is not enough for everyone in California, how will we handle that? We want to be ready for anything and have backup plans in place. That is preferable to having no backup plan to possible problems and scrambling when these problems arise. [IMAGE DESCRIPTION: [FULL SCREEN TO TOP LEFT CORNER] Patient with sleeve rolled up to shoulder and a person with white gown and blue latex gloves insertion a syringe into the patient’s upper arm.] GOVERNOR NEWSOM: Our tentative plan not having enough vaccines for everyone is to prioritize certain groups of people and decide which group gets the vaccine first. For example, we may decide to prioritize older people and senior citizens, or possibly caregivers for people who need medical and in-home support. Those are just examples. The West Coast Government is still developing plans for these potential issues. When a decision has been made, I will update all of you. [IMAGE DESCRIPTION: [FULL SCREEN TO TOP LEFT CORNER ] The Coronavirus cell is a gray sphere with orange dots and red stems sticking out all around it.] GOVERNOR NEWSOM: And my last update is about the coronavirus. The number of people who have coronavirus are increasing slightly and the virus is still spreading. People are still unknowingly spreading the virus to others. More people are being admitted into the hospital for coronavirus as well. The ICU, which serves people suffering from serious medical emergencies, is also seeing an increase of covid patients. I want us to roll up our sleeves and work together to beat this virus. We are all still figuring this out as we go along. [IMAGE DESCRIPTION: close up picture of a white woman with blond shoulder-length hair with blue disposable mask resting from ears to chin. A person with white latex gloves is preparing to put a blue nose swab up the woman’s nose.] [IMAGE DESCRIPTION: Picture of patient with mouth wide open and person with blue latex gloves pushing a long swab into the person’s mouth.] GOVERNOR NEWSOM: I encourage you to get tested for coronavirus. You can do it with a nasal swab or mouth swab. If you are not feeling well and you’re unsure if you have coronavirus, please get tested! If you suspect that you may have had and recovered from coronavirus, there is a test for that as well. [IMAGE DESCRIPTION: Picture of a patient getting blood drawn with a needle with tube connecting to a vial and a person with blue gloves holding the vial.] GOVERNOR NEWSOM: You can get your blood tested to find out if you had the virus in the past. There are numerous testing sites all over the state, so please get yourself tested! There are also numerous labs that test your swab to find out if you have the virus. They will let you know the results of your test. [IMAGE DESCRIPTION: FULL SCREEN TO TOP LEFT CORNER: Four rows of color bars. The top row is purple with images of skull bones and open hands gesturing stop. The second row is red with exclamation points (!) and open hands gesturing stop. The third row is orange with thumbs up signs exclamation points. The fourth row is yellow with happy faces and thumbs up signs.] GOVERNOR NEWSOM: Next I will show which counties have moved down to a different color category. [PURPLE TEXT: Purple 9 Counties. RED TEXT: Red 22 Counties Update: Glenn and Mendocino. ORANGE TEXT: Orange: 17 Counties Update: Contra Costa, Marin, San Mateo and Santa Cruz. YELLOW TEXT: Yellow: 10 Counties Update: Calaveras] GOVERNOR NEWSOM: That is the most current information available. I understand that some of you may be sick of me repeating the same thing over and over again, but coronavirus is still a very serious problem. Plus the wildfires are forcing people to have to leave their homes because it is not safe. All of this increases the risk of COVID-19 spreading. These are both very serious problems, and without vaccines, we could all get the virus. So please continue to wear your mask, stay 6 feet apart, wash your hands and avoid crowded places. Please! Thank you. [FULL SCREEN IMAGE DESCRIPTION: GLAD logo in green/blue.

[VIDEO DESCRIPTION: Deaf Interpreter, Romduol Ngov, a Khmer genderfluid person with short black hair, wearing a dark olive green short-sleeve shirt, standing in front of a black background, looking at the camera.] TRANSCRIPT: [IMAGE DESCRIPTION: [top corner] Picture of Dr. Mark Ghaly, a bald-headed white man with transparent white glasses. He is standing in front of a tree in a gray suit with red/gray tie and white shirt. He is smiling and looking at the camera. [underneath the picture] WHITE TEXTt: Dr. Mark Ghaly, October 20, 2020. [bottom corner] WHITE TEXT: Video made possible with support from [fancy font] Rosemary Wanis and Friends] DEAF INTERPRETER: Hello, my name is Romduol. I will interpret Dr. Ghaly’s press conference from today, October 20, 2020. [WHITE TEXT: Topics: Theme parks, Sport Outdoor Arenas, Covid-19 Updates] DR. GHALY: Today’s presentation covered three key points: theme parks both small and large. Small theme parks such as the Santa Cruz Boardwalk or Funderland or a place for young children such as Fairland or Safari - all smaller theme parks where people usually go to have a good time on rides,or where they go to look at animals. [IMAGE DESCRIPTION: Aerial view of Santa Cruz Boardwalk Giant Dipper rollercoaster next to blue ocean and sand with Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk text overlapping the blue ocean] [IMAGE DESCRIPTION: Two little kids sitting in a ride that looks like a fish with blue eyes, purple rounded lips, blowing our bubbles. Both kids have face painted and arms up in the sky, smiling looking at the camera with a black fence behind them. Green and white text at bottom corner: FUNDERLAND with a red banner: Amusement Park] [IMAGE DESCRIPTION: Big shoe house with words Fairyland each letter in a different color pink,light green, red, and light blue with green trees in background] [IMAGE DESCRIPTION: Picture of a large area with green grass and tall trees with wild animals roaming around and people watching from a large jeep with rows of chairs] DR. GHALY: We also want to discuss bigger theme parks such as Disneyland which usually has a lot of people. [IMAGE DESCRIPTION: Picture of a white rollercoaster with yellow row of cars with blue, orange and many colors spread out over the ride against a blue sky in the background] DR. GHALY: Also think of sports outdoor arenas that are open and have lots of places for people to sit and watch a game such as baseball or football. Keep in mind that these arenas can’t be closed in like basketball arenas, they must be open where you sit down and look up and see the sky. [IMAGE DESCRIPTION: Large open arena with blue seating all around and a green/white grass/ground football game layout at the center with a large scoreboard on the left] [WHITE TEXT: Covid-19 Updates] DR. GHALY: My third topic today is about COVID-19 updates which I do every Tuesday. [WHITE TEXT: Theme parks] DR. GHALY: Now back to our first topic on theme parks. We have different people who know a lot about business, medicine, science, pandemics, we all get together and developed guidelines for theme parks. For small theme parks like Santa Cruz Boardwalk, they can open but still limited to only if they are in a county that is in the orange code. [IMAGE DESCRIPTION: Orange bar with wo thumbs up middle warning sign. WHITE TEXT: 25%] DR. GHALY: Still can’t have a full number of people still can only have 25% or of the usual number of people. You have to buy your tickets in advance online (can’t show up and buy your ticket there). The reason for ordering tickets online is so that everyone can answer health questions online before arriving such as do you feel sick, do you have a fever, and more. When you buy your ticket online, the theme park will have your name and information. The reason for this is suppose COVID-19 does spread at that theme park, they have everyone name in the system and can quickly contact everyone who was at the park that day and let them know that they were maybe exposed. Another restriction is for example Santa Cruz Boardwalk, ONLY people who live in the Santa Cruz area can buy tickets online and can go to the Boardwalk. But if you live in Sacramento you can’t go to Santa Cruz Boardwalk because you live far away. This is ONLY open for people who live in the same area as the theme park. Theme parks are only open for people who live closeby, not for people who are from out of town. We are doing this because your safety comes first. [IMAGE DESCRIPTION: Yellow bar with two happy faces and in the middle a thumbs-up icon] DR. GHALY: For small or large parks/arenas, if they are in a county that is in the yellow code All theme park may resume as long as the county is in the yellow tier. Disneyland, for example, can only open IF that county is yellow. Disneyland cannot open if that county is orange, red, or purple because it is a large theme park with people traveling from all over the country and all over the world to visit. With such a large place and large number of people, the virus can easily spread if someone has it. Which is different than smaller local theme parks which are usually visited by local people and have smaller numbers of visitors. With a smaller chance of spreading the virus. Therefore, bigger places like Disneyland has to be much more careful about when they open. Even with a yellow code, the guidelines are the same for yellow and orange. Smaller number of people can go, have to order tickets online in advance, answer health questions with your name and more. Once you enter the theme park you must wear a mask and keep it on all day except when eating and drinking. [WHITE TEXT: Sport outdoor arenas] DR. GHALY: For sports outdoor arenas, we have new guidelines set up. Again, arenas are limited to people who live within 120 miles from that place, they are the only ones who can buy tickets. Northern California can’t go to Southern California. You still hae to buy tickets in advance, give your name, wear a mask, all for safety as your safety is most important. When you enter, you will notice assigned seating with space to keep your distance. In the past when you go to the arena you could get up to buy a drink or food. Now you can’t do that. You have to wait for someone to come to you, bring you food/drink, you stay in your seat. [IMAGE DESCRIPTION: Picture of a group of people sitting in folding fabric chairs with the back of an SUV open, BBQ food, eating and drinking in a parking lot with a large red X covering the photo] DR. GHALY: Tailgate parties are not allowed, having BBQ, drinks, food by your car in the parking lot is not allowed. This is not allowed period. [WHITE TEXT: Covid-19 Updates] [IMAGE DESCRIPTION: Coronavirus cell with gray base and several red stems sticking out all around the cell] DR. GHALY: Now for a COVID-19 update. We are seeing some improvements. We have been using our website that collects information that helps us to predict what might happen with COVID-19 over th next two to three or four weeks. We can see if the numbers might go up in the future or go down. The numbers are showing us from the website that the numbers will go up in the next few weeks but predict that it will get worse just like it did in some other states. If you want to look at the website yourself, go to calcat.covid19.ca.gov. On this website there are different icons you can click to give you information such as if COVID-19 spreading fast, slow, in a small area, or large area, etc. Take a look. [WHITE TEXT: calcat.covid19.ca.gov] [IMAGE DESCRIPTION: Four different colors from the top to bottom - purple with stop signs and skulls icon, red with stop sign and warning signs icon, orange with a warning sign and thumb up icon, and yellow with smiley faces and thumb up icon.] [ORANGE TEXT: Orange. WHITE TEXT: Butte County, Napa County] [YELLOW TEXT: YELLOW. WHITE TEXT: SAN FRANCISCO COUNTY] DR. GHALY: Here is our update on counties who have moved to a different color code. I am sad that Riverside and Shasta Counties have moved back up to the purple tier. They were red, and now they are back up to purple which means they did not improve. [IMAGE DESCRIPTION: Purple bar with stop signs and skulls icon. WHITE TEXT: RIVERSIDE, SHASTA] DR. GHALY: We will work more closely with southern California including: Los Angeles, Riverside, and San Bernardino to work with them to keep the virus from becoming worse than it is now. That might mean giving them more PPE such as masks, face shields, gloves, gowns, etc. Maybe it means changing some of the guidelines so they can improve. Come up with isolation resources and encourage everyone to have a backup plan like family or friend who can help out if you happen to be sick or have the coronavirus but need a place to stay, food to eat, have errands to run like going to the bank, and more. We are also giving more tests in different areas to help bring numbers down because some of those area maybe don’t have enough tests and places where people can get tested. These are different ways we work with counties to get their numbers down. [IMAGE DESCRIPTION: White rectangle with clip art image at top hands with soap with orange text: Wash. Second image down is a face with brown hair and blue mask with blue text: Mask. Third image down is the outline of a blue spray bottle with orange text: Clean. Fourth image at bottom is the image of a woman standing with long dark hair and blue clothes and a light blue arrow in front of her with blue text: 6 Feet] DR. GHALY: Lastly, remind you again to wear a mask, social distancing, washing hand, avoid gatherings. Even if you don’t have the virus you still need to be careful. Because the virus is out there and easily spread. Again be careful, don’t socialize with too many people. [IMAGE DESCRIPTION: Clip art of a doctor’s hand giving a flu short to a patient’s arm] DR. GHALY: It's winter season meaning flu season! Please get your flu shot to prevent the spread of flu. Thank you!

[VIDEO DESCRIPTION: Deaf Interpreter: Jim Brune, a white male with short light brown/blonde hair wearing black-framed glasses and a dark purple button down shirt sitting in front of a light purple background and looking at the camera.] TRANSCRIPT: DEAF INTERPRETER: Hello, my name is Jim Brune, I will be interpreting the October 12, 2020 press conference with California Governor Newsom (and Dr. Mark Ghaly). This press conference has four main topics: COVID-19 update, wildfires, three-housing rule, and ongoing reminders. [IMAGE DESCRIPTION: Governor Gavin Newsom is a white man with slicked back grey hair. He is wearing a black suit with a light blue shirt and a dark blue tie. He is speaking and gesturing with his hand. He is standing in front of three flags and from left to right, they are the American flag, California state flag and California Office of Emergency Services (CalOES) flag.] [IMAGE DESCRIPTIONS: [top corner] Picture of Dr. Mark Ghaly, is a white bald-headed man with transparent glasses. He is standing in front of a tree and is smiling at the camera. Dr. Ghaly is wearing a grey suit, white shirt, and a red and grey tie.] [IMAGE DESCRIPTION: GLAD logo in green/blue. GLAD block letters, above is GLAD in fingerspelled white font and next to GLAD is Greater Los Angeles Agency on Deafness, Inc.] [IMAGE DESCRIPTION: The Coronavirus cell is a gray sphere with orange dots and red stems protruding all around it.] [WHITE TEXT: COVID-19 UPDATE][WHITE TEXT: 3,449 POSITIVE WITH COVID-19, 2,196 Hospitalized, 604 in ICU GOVERNOR NEWSOM: I want to share with you the current COVID-19 positive cases from yesterday, Sunday, October 11, 2020. The total number of positive cases is 3,449. [IMAGE DESCRIPTION: A sick man wearing a blue mask lies in a hospital bed. A doctor with latex gloves is using a stethoscope to check the man’s heartbeat.] GOVERNOR NEWSOM: The total number of people who have gone in the hospital with COVID-19 is 2,196. The total number of people who have gone in ICU with COVID-19 is 604. [IMAGE DESCRIPTION: A sick person with a fever exhales the coronavirus. Two other people catch it and also exhale the coronavirus. Arrows show that the coronavirus is spread though contact tracing] GOVERNOR NEWSOM: Next, we want to talk about contact tracing. That is the system in which we investigate how people got COVID-19. How did they get COVID-19? Who did they have contact with? What are their names? Where did they meet them? What is their contact information? When we have this information we can keep track of where the virus has been. The goal is to keep track of the people who might have been exposed to coronavirus. With positive cases going up, that means we need more contact tracers making phone calls. We have been working on training more people. We have so far trained 10,892 people on the how to make calls for contact tracing. [IMAGE DESCRIPTION: Several speech bubbles are filled in with various flags from all across the world, indicating multilingualism, or the ability to speak more than one language.] GOVERNOR NEWSOM: The neat thing about the training that has been done is that out that 10,892 people, 1,800 are fluent in not just English, other languages too. Before there was a long waiting period between testing positive and getting a phone call from a contact tracer. With more people trained, the waiting time is much shorter. [IMAGE DESCRIPTION: A man shows the ASL sign for support] [IMAGE DESCRIPTION: A sick emoji face is quarantined inside a locked house and four coronavirus cells.] [IMAGE DESCRIPTION: Top image: The boss is wearing a tie is pointing to outside, telling another man to get out. The other man looks sad and also has a tie and a briefcase.Middle image: A smiling farmer holds up lettuce and other produce. There are rows of produce behind him. Bottom image: A silver key with a house shaped keychain.] GOVERNOR NEWSOM: California is committed to providing resources for those who have to quarantine because of being COVID-19 positive. If a person is quarantined that means they can’t go to work, can’t earn money. We have many different programs to support them. One is job-protected sick leave. Another is Housing for Harvest - a program to provide housing for agricultural workers and farm workers. Another program is Project Roomkey which provides housing for people who have COVID-19 or are in a high-risk population. We’ve been working hard to provide programs and support for the community. These services are made possible because of people and companies giving a lot of donations. [IMAGE DESCRIPTION: Four rows of color bars. The top row is purple with images of skull bones and open hands gesturing stop. The second row is red with exclamation points (!) and open hands gesturing stop. The third row is orange with thumbs up signs exclamation points. The fourth row is yellow with happy faces and thumbs up signs.] [WHITE TEXT NEXT TO EACH COLOR BAR: purple = 16 counties; red = 24 counties, orange: 11 counties, yellow = 7 counties] GOVERNOR NEWSOM: California has set up a 4-color tier system: purple, red, orange, and yellow. Purple means that COVID-19 cases are high and hospital beds are full. Red means less with some businesses open. Orange is even lesser with more businesses are opening. Yellow means numbers are stable (not going up) and more businesses are open. You can see the chart with numbers of counties in each color code category. [IMAGE DESCRIPTION: A huge red-orange wildfire rages behind green trees. Two firefighters use a firehose to spray water on the greenery.][WHITE TEXT: WILDFIRE UPDATESWHITE TEXT: 4,100,000 acres, 12,000 firefighters, 31 deaths] GOVERNOR NEWSOM: Now an update on the wildfires in California. Our fires have been the largest in history burning over 4.1 million acres! We are now having 14 major fire complexes with over 14,000 firefighters working hard to control these fires. 31 people have died because of the fires. Look at the screen to see how many fires, locations and how much they have been contained. Take a look. [IMAGE DESCRIPTION: A firefighter uses a firehose to spray a flame, which represents the Glass Fire containment.

The flame is 55% white with red, orange and yellow at the bottom half.][WHITE TEXT: Creek Fire 55%] GOVERNOR NEWSOM: We noticed this week it is more windy and more hot. That is not good for our fires. Now about socializing, we set up a new policy this past Tuesday. This rule is about three households gathering together. We know that holidays are coming soon including Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Christmas, and more. This means that family and friends want to get together. We are now dealing with COVID-19 and the flu. We don’t want to see numbers go up. At the same time don’t want to tell you that you can NOT get together so we set up a new rule. Now we will allow people who live in three different houses can get together. Still must meet outside (not inside). Follow the same rules of having a mask, keep separate, not sit too close to each other, keep your hands clean by washing often. Be careful. Keep a list of who is gathering together so that you remember who was there on a specific date. That is the rule right now, it might change in the future. [IMAGE DESCRIPTION: White Rectangle with four rows of images and text. Top row is an image of hands with soap next to orange text: Wash.
