In a much anticipated press conference on May 7, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced detailed guidelines for how some businesses could begin to reopen with modifications as early as Friday, May 8.
“At the end of the day, these are meaningful modifications (to the Stay at Home order),” he said, underscoring that the decision came in response to a flattening of the curve related to COVID-19 infections. “The guidelines we’re focused on today are extending opportunities in the retail sector, the manufacturing sector and the logistics sector, all with adaptations, all with modifications, but all with an eye on turning the page and moving into a new phase in terms of our economic recovery.”
