Gov Gavin Newsom issued a statewide 'stay at home order' Thursday night

The governor has also asked that Trump send help to California 'immediately'

Newsom said that officials project that roughly '56 per cent of our population - 25.5 million people - will be infected with the virus over an eight-week period'

Modeling also shows that more than half of homeless people could get COVID-19

He has asked the Trump administration for use of the Navy's Mercy hospital ship

Experts say that the homeless, who often have health and substance-abuse problems, are exposed to the elements and do not have easy access to hygiene

Governor said he had issued an executive order authorizing the distribution of $100million to cities and counties across California to blunt the impact of COVID

An additional $50million will convert hotels for the sick homeless to stay in

State has acquired 1,300 trailers to use as temporary housing for the homeless

Confirmed infections in US surpassed 14,000 on Thursday and deaths were 211

California is one of the most affected states with more than 800 confirmed cases and 17 deaths as of Thursday
