Select businesses across California may open as early as Friday as the state prepares to enter phase two of its COVID19 recovery plan.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom announced the news Monday from Sacramento, where he called it"a very positive sign" that's only being announced now"for one reason — the data says it can happen."
Newsom pointed out that when businesses reopen, modifications will have to be in place to accommodate social distancing guidelines. He promised to provide specifics on those modifications Thursday. During that briefing, Newsom said the state was"weeks, not months" away from the modifications and on Monday he acknowledged that it became"days, not weeks," due to the state's efforts to improve testing, tracing and surge capacity at hospitals:"This is a sober announcement and done on the basis of health directors in local communities guiding our efforts here at the state.
