STATE ALLOWING SOME RETAILERS TO OPEN, WITH STRICT GUIDELINES

Governor Gavin Newsom

California Governor Gavin Newsom issued the broadest loosening of his stay-at-home order so far Thursday, allowing some retailers to reopen but not have customers in stores. The announcement was the result of improvement in battling the coronavirus and moves California into the second phase of a four-step process to full reopening. It covers only a sliver of retail businesses as well as manufacturers’ warehouses considered low risk for the virus. Stores that will be allowed to open with curbside service if they meet other safety requirements include bookstores, clothing stores, florists, and sporting goods stores. Higher-risk businesses like hair salons and gyms, offices, and dine-in restaurants will come later. Newsom’s plan may allow some local governments to move faster than the state if they hit certain criteria. Counties must show they can meet certain testing and tracing requirements and that their health care systems can handle a potential surge. The state is tracking six indicators to determine when to ease restrictions.
