加州加文·纽瑟姆周一宣布,计划将该州推进到项目四阶段重新开放计划的第二阶段,包括允许某些零售机构最早于周五开放路边皮卡。
纽森在周一的新闻发布会上表示:“上周五,我说我们离宣布修改居家养老规定还有几天而不是几周,今天我们宣布将努力更新居家养老准则,并开始进入第二阶段。”。
尽管加州第二阶段重新开放的全部细节预计要到周四才会公布,但纽森特别提到服装零售商、书店、体育用品店和花店可能会在周五的简报会上开业。
购物中心、餐厅也将继续关闭。办公室仍然应该按照在家办公的协议运作。
“这是一个非常积极的信号,它的发生只有一个原因,”纽森说,“数据显示它可能发生。”
然而,纽森承认,一旦人与人之间再次发生社会接触,病毒可能会再次出现。“如果是这样的话,”纽瑟姆说,“我们没有能力控制这种传播,追踪这种传播,隔离可能接触过COVID-19的个体,我们将不得不重新进行修改。”
新闻周刊联系州长纽森办公室和加州商会征求意见。
加州州长加文·纽瑟姆周一宣布,一些零售企业最早可能在周五重新开业,接受路边提货。
纽森还表示,该州一些没有受到冠状病毒重创的县可能比其他一些地区更快进入第二阶段。只要缓解指南得到县卫生官员的满足和同意,一些地区就可以“通过修改”重新开放餐馆和住宿设施
纽森说:“必须以非常深思熟虑和明智的方式来做这件事。”。“这是健康第一的重点,指标必须保持。”
“许多这样的地区,许多这样的县,已经在这个领域做了大量的工作,他们已经准备好要走了,所以我非常期待你会看到很多这样的社区有当地的认证,”纽森补充说。
纽森还表示,拉古纳海滩和圣克莱门特海滩可能会在周五州长关闭奥兰治县所有海滩后重新开放。纽瑟姆说,当地领导人“制定了一个杰出的计划,开始重新开放这些海滩,我们不仅为此鼓掌,而且热情地接受了它。”
在四月的一个周末热浪中,人们成群结队地出现在海滩上,新闻网周五关闭了该县的海滩。纽森称拥挤海滩的照片“令人不安”。
“这种病毒不会回家,因为这是一个美丽的,阳光明媚的日子,围绕着我们的海岸,”纽瑟姆说。
纽森的“呆在家里”的命令激起了一些人的抗议,包括周五聚集在国会大厦要求放松纽森命令的示威人群。一些人呼吁解除纽森的职务。
在周五的新闻发布会上,纽森州长承认了抗议活动,他说举行示威的权利是“我们在美国拥有的一个极好的特权,我们应该庆祝这一点”。我们应该感谢表达自我的人们。”
CALIFORNIA EXPECTED TO ALLOW RETAIL BUSINESSES WITH CURBSIDE PICKUP TO REOPEN AS EARLY AS FRIDAY
California Gavin Newsom announced intentions to move his state into the second phase of a project four-phase reopening program on Monday, including allowing certain retail establishments to open up for curbside pickup as soon as Friday.
"On Friday, I said we were days not weeks from announcing modifications to the stay-at-home order and today we are announcing our efforts to update the stay-at-home guidelines and begin the process of moving to Stage 2," Newsom said in a Monday news briefing.
While full details on the second stage of California's reopening are not expected to be announced until Thursday, Newsom specifically named clothing retailers, bookstores, sportings good shops and florists as businesses that could be opened by Friday during the briefing.
Shopping malls, dine-in restaurants are also to remain closed. Offices should still function under work-from-home protocols.
"This is a very positive sign and it has happened for only one reason," Newsom said, "the data says it can happen."
However, Newsom acknowledged that the virus could re-emerge once more social contact between people occurs. "If that is the case," Newsom said, "and we don't have the capacity to control that spread, to track that spread, to isolate individuals that may have been in contact with COVID-19, we will have to make modifications anew."
Newsweek reached out to Governor Newsom's office and the California Chamber of Commerce for comment.
California Governor Gavin Newsom announced Monday that some retail businesses could reopen for curbside pickup as soon as Friday.
Newsom also said that some counties within the state that had not been hit as hard by coronavirus could move into stage two more quickly than some other areas. As long as mitigation guidelines are met and agreed upon by county health officials, some areas may be able to open restaurants and lodging establishments reopening "with modification."
"It has to be done in a very thoughtful and judicious way," Newsom said. "It's a health-first focus, indicators have to be maintained."
"Many of these regions, many of these counties, have done already a ton of work in this space and they're ready to go so I have great expectation that you're going to see a lot of these communities with local certification in place," Newsom added.
Newsom also said Laguna Beach and San Clemente Beach could reopen after the governor closed all beaches in Orange County on Friday. Local leaders "put together an outstanding plan to begin to reopen those beaches," Newsom said, "and we not only applauded that, we enthusiastically embraced it."
Newsom closed the county's beaches on Friday after people showed up to the shore in droves during a weekend heatwave in April. Newsom referred to photographs of crowded beaches as "disturbing."
"This virus doesn't go home because it's a beautiful, sunny day around our coasts," Newsom said about the event.
Newsom's stay-at-home orders have spurred some individuals to protest, including crowds of demonstrators who gathered at the Capitol building on Friday calling for an easing of Newsom's orders. Some called for Newsom to be removed from office.
During Friday's news briefing Governor Newsom acknowledged the protests by saying the right to hold demonstrations was "a wonderful point of privilege we have here in the United States and we should celebrate that. We should thank people for expressing themselves."
