Gov. Gavin Newsom is expected on
Monday to
lift regional coronavirus stay-at-home orders across California, a change that could allow restaurants and gyms in many counties to reopen outdoor dining and services. Sources briefed on the plan by the governor’s office told my colleagues that all counties will return to the colored tier system that assigns local risk levels based on case numbers and rates of positive test results for COVID-19 infections.
It’s far from clear whether the decision will lead to easing the rules in Los Angeles County, but we’ll have a full explanation of the governor’s forthcoming announcement and what it means for Californians in tomorrow’s newsletter.
