SUNNYVALE — The number of people being treated in California ICUs doubled overnight, California Gov. Gavin Newsom said Saturday, as the number of coronavirus cases in the state continues to grow.

During a visit to South Bay fuel cell company Bloom Energy, which has shifted its operations to refurbishing ventilators to treat coronavirus patients, Newsom said 410 people are now in ICUs, up from 200 on Friday. Newsom did not specify whether those were coronavirus patients, or if they had been admitted to ICUs for other reasons.
