The hon. London breed good morning everyone and thank you so much for joining us. As civic demonstrations continue around the world, we are emboldened by the protests and the calls for action to address the racial injustices and inequities in policing and Law Enforcement. These protests come at a time when our communities have been struggling even more because of the coronavirus. For too long black people have been subjected to abuse at the hands of those in power.

Because we are also focusing on making sure that as we as we reopen we dont turn back the clock. You all know what happened a few months ago when one day, i announced we were going to be opening a number of places and today, some of those places are open, and some of those places are not open. But we do have some good news hair salons and nail salons and other places from my perspective that cannot open outdoors are able to operate indoors.
