One day after a record spike in coronavirus cases, California registered 3,799 new cases on Thursday — the same day Gov. Gavin Newsom mandated that all Californians are required to wear face masks in public.

Newsom and public health officials hope the order will encourage citizens to cover up amid the state’s continued reopening efforts and suppress the rising number of cases.
