Newsom: We’re ready to keep reopening

(CALMATTERS) – California is entering yet another pivotal moment in its coronavirus response.

Meanwhile, the state is monitoring 10 counties experiencing spikes in cases or hospitalizations.

And Gov. Gavin Newsom is striving to balance the competing desires of reopening the economy and protecting public health.

Six Bay Area counties are reopening much more slowly than the rest of the state, though they continue to ease restrictions every two to three weeks.

Public health officials say they’re trying avoid a surge in cases that will force residents to shelter in place again.
