Newsom cited an alarming rise in cases, which have more than doubled in the past month to 366,000
California’s experience has become a cautionary tale for other U.S. states that are working to restart their economies and reopen schools even as the pandemic continues to rage out of control within their borders.
Across the U.S., more than a dozen states have delayed plans to reopen or announced new restrictions as the country hit a record for the number of new cases – 77,000 – in a single day on Thursday. More than 3.5 million Americans have tested positive for the virus and nearly 140,000 have died. Mr. Newsom has likened the new restrictions to a “dimmer switch” that can be dialled up or down as conditions change, rather than a full-scale lockdown. But for the small businesses that have been buffeted by the ever-changing rules, it has felt like a punch to the gut.
