SACRAMENTO, Calif. - California is days away from announcing a meaningful loosening of its coronavirus-related restrictions, Governor Gavin Newsom said on Friday, as protesters sneaked on to closed beaches and crowded the lawn outside the state Capitol in Sacramento.
The enormous pressure on states to reopen, despite a lack of wide-scale virus testing and other safeguards urged by health experts, was highlighted in Labor Department data on Thursday showing some 30 million Americans have sought unemployment benefits since March 21. On Friday, a conservative legal group went to court to stop an order by Newsom to close all beaches in Southern California's Orange County, a onetime Republican stronghold where Democrats narrowly won three seats in Congress in 2018. In Huntington Beach, the city voted Thursday to sue over the closure.
