Since March 19, Californians have been tasked with remaining at home in order to help curb the spread of COVID-19, which has thus far infected more than 3.3 million people globally, including 23,000 in Los Angeles. That directive may change in a matter of weeks according to Gov. Gavin Newsom, who on April 28 unveiled a four-point plan for moving the state out of its current stay- at-home order.
“I think the path that he is outlining is the appropriate path,” Beverly Hills Mayor Lester Friedman told the Courier. “I think the economic impact is going to be significant. I think we’re going to see several businesses that are not going to reopen and that’s unfortunate. I just think that we need to be proactive in supporting our businesses.”
