The different phases in California’s plan may lead to some unusual reopening timelines dependent on if coronavirus cases remain stable. In some cases, such as with Los Angeles, gradual stages like California’s plan will be implemented. Newsom’s announcement comes less than a day after similar reopening announcements from states such as Texas and cities such as Los Angeles. “We believe we are weeks, not months, away from making meaningful modifications,” added Newsom. “We will base reopening plans on facts and data, not on ideology. “We are not going back to the way things were until we get to immunity or a vaccine,” stated Newsom during the press conference. Newsom also confirmed that a full reopening was dependent on either COVID-19 immunity setting in or a vaccine being produced. Stage 2 will come online in California in a few weeks, with retail, manufacturing, offices, child care, possible limited school re-openings, and public spaces being opened to varying degrees, such as retail being allowed only curbside pick-up and offices being allowed to reopen when teleworking isn’t available. Newsom confirmed that the state is currently on Stage 1, which means staying at home, flattening the coronavirus curve, building healthcare capacity, and preparing businesses and schools for reopening through new guidelines. Governor Newsom outlined a 4 stage plan to bring California back to normal. On Tuesday, Governor Gavin Newsom announced in Sacramento that the state lockdown will begin to end in only a matter of weeks, fulfilling a prediction he made in March about the lockdown possibly lasting until June.
