Mayor Robert Garcia's mother, a medical assistant in Southern California, died of COVID-19 last month. Her experience on the frontline influenced Garcia's approach to mitigating the coronavirus in Long Beach.
Long Beach is a city of about 460,000.
Garcia's stepfather also has COVID-19 and remains on a ventilator, he says. Garcia doesn't know how they contracted the virus, but he says his mother was very cautious: full protective gear at work, always wore a mask, rarely left the house outside of work. Still, Garcia says he's been"incredibly frustrated" that a significant number of people seem to not take the threat of coronavirus seriously.
