SACRAMENTO, Calif. - On June 12, 2020, the state of California will enter phase three of Governor Gavin Newsom's four-phase reopening plan. That means more businesses and services will be allowed to operate during the coronavirus pandemic.
Gov. Newsom issued the stay-at-home order on March 19, 2020, in order to lessen the spread of coronavirus.
Action News Now took a deeper look at phase three of reopening.
Phase three means businesses considered "higher-risk workplaces" can now reopen, according to the California resilience roadmap.
In order to move to the next stage of reopening the stay-at-home order, the state has provided six indicators to do so.
- The ability to monitor and protect our communities through testing, contact tracing, isolating, and supporting those who are positive or exposed
- The ability to prevent infection in people who are at risk for more severe COVID-19
- The ability of hospital and health systems to handle surges
- The ability to develop therapeutics to meet the demand
- The ability for businesses, schools, and child care facilities to support physical distancing
- The ability to determine when to reinstitute certain measures, such as the stay-at-home orders, if necessary
