California governor says state’s retail stores can reopen on Friday
CNNCNN — California Gov. Gavin Newsom announced Monday that some retail shops in the state can begin to reopen at the end of the week as part of a phased exit from the social distancing measures meant to mitigate the coronavirus pandemic. The announcement comes as more states plan phased reopenings of businesses and other gathering places, despite public health professionals having repeatedly stressed the dangers of relaxing social distancing measures too early. Experts widely agree that to control the epidemic in the absence of strict social distancing measures, states and localities will need to build the capacity for additional testing and contact tracing That process of identifying new cases of Covid-19 and then tracking down and quarantining anyone who could have been infected by those newly identified cases would be crucial to returning to normal life. As a result, Newsom shared his plan for a “tracing army” in the state – a training program led by the University of California Los Angeles and University of California San Francisco that will teach people how to trace and track the disease through a virtual academy.
