During a press conference earlier today, Newsom spoke about the gradual reopening with caution and warning. The California governor explained that due to “progress,” the state is gradually venturing forward into “unknown” and “untested” territory. On a similar note, Newsom stressed the importance of adhering to scientific data that has led California to its present point.
At this time, the Golden State remains in phase two of its plan to re-engage the economy. This plan allows for not only churches, barbershops, and hair salons to reopen, but also manufacturing businesses, offices, and others. Of course, any and all enterprises with the current OK to resume operations are mandated to adhere to state-issued guidelines.
The decision to reopen the aforementioned businesses comes after multiple protests against the California governor. Likewise have come lawsuits from individuals who believe that Newsom’s shelter-in-place order breaches inherent, constitutional rights.
Like other governors in blue states, Newsom has chosen to defend his restrictions, claiming that they are backed by science. Furthermore, the California governor previously professed that the state will not fully reopen without a vaccine for coronavirus.
