California reopening: Rural counties are demanding to lift stay-at-home now even as Gov. Newsom urges patience.
One region is moving forward without the governor’s blessing. Modoc County, which has fewer than 9,000 residents and reported zero coronavirus cases, has announced it plans to allow all businesses, schools and churches to reopen starting Friday, as long as people stay six feet apart.
Jeffrey Martin, an epidemiologist at UC San Francisco, said counties should have a low and manageable level of infection, adequate testing, and the ability to address stigma associated with a positive case. California Gov. Gavin Newsom discusses an outline for what it will take to lift the coronavirus restrictions during an April news conference at the Governor’s Office of Emergency Services in Rancho Cordova, Calif.
Other officials who signed the letter are reassured by the fact that the surges they prepared for never came. Drown acknowledged that they might only have every other table in the restaurant available to ensure social distancing. But seating customers, she said, would probably increase revenue by 20%.
