SAN DIEGO (KUSI) – California plans to lift most coronavirus restrictions on businesses and workplaces June 15. State officials said that allows for life to almost get back to a pre-pandemic normal.
Governor Gavin Newsom announced California will also be getting rid of the color-coded tier system on that day.
But, many critics say Newsom’s “arbitrary” color-coded reopening guidelines are the problem in the first place.
California conducted the slowest reopening process in the nation, and may also be the reason that over 2 million Californians signed the petition to Recall Gavin Newsom. Newsom implemented strict guidelines that caused thousands of businesses to permanently close. The state’s Health and Human Services secretary says California’s mask mandate will remain in effect.
