California is getting closer to lifting stay-at-home orders. Gov. Gavin Newsom announced Monday afternoon that the state would begin moving into Phase 2 this Friday. Retail stores across California will be able to reopen, but there will be guidelines.
Retail will start to open for pick up; he said bookstores, clothing, music, and toy stores would also be able to reopen along with other retail businesses.
There were six requirements we as a state needed to meet in order to begin reopening. All six requirements are on the schedule:
- Stability of Hospitalizations
- Personal Protective Equipment Inventory
- Health Care Surge Capacity
- Testing Capacity
- Contact Tracing Capability
- Public Health Guidance In Place
