The entire San Joaquin Valley moved from a stay home order to the purple tier Monday, a major change for the regional economy.
A place like River Park can really spring back to life because, for example, just in one row are several businesses that can reopen restaurants, personal care services, and nails salons all allowed to reopen with Fresno County now in the purple tier.
Across the state, those businesses employ thousands of people who theoretically lost their jobs for the last seven weeks.
SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) After California s statewide stay-at-home order was lifted on Monday, nurses, medical professionals, and some lawmakers are questioning the decision, saying it s coming too early. The pandemic is still here, it is still real, we have a lot of patients that are very very sick! said Zenei Triunfo-Cortez, a registered nurse at Kaiser Permanente in South San Francisco, who is president of the California Nurses Association. She is calling the decision to lift the stay-at-home order premature. I have been a nurse for 40 years and I have never seen so many patients die in my career, says Triunfo-Cortez, whose thoughts are even echoed by some democratic lawmakers like State Senator Steven Glazer.
In a letter to restaurant owners, the California Restaurant Association announced that officials with Gov. Newsom's office plan to lift the stay-at-home order in all regions of the state on Monday.
