California Gov. Gavin Newsom said in a statement Monday that the state would return to far more restrictive social guidelines over a rise in coronavirus cases on the same day that state lawmakers were found to be planning to attend a luxury conference in Hawaii.

"This is simply the fastest increase California has seen since the beginning of this pandemic," Newsom said. "Every age group, every demographic, racial, ethnic, in every part of the state we are seeing case rates increase and positivity rates increase as well."

But the announcement juxtaposed poorly with a report that California lawmakers were planning to attend a conference this week at a luxury hotel in Hawaii hosted by the Independent Voter Project.
