Covid-19: California's Four Stages

When will we move into Stage 3?

Sadly, Gov. Newsom has not yet offered a timeline of when he plans to relax more restrictions.

California plans to reopen its economy in four phases:

Stage 1: Everyone is either staying at home or a member of the essential workforce

Stage 2: Reopening lower risk workplaces, including:

• Non-essential manufacturing (toys, furniture, clothing, etc.)
• Schools
• Childcare facilities
• Retail businesses for curbside pick-up
• Offices where working remotely isn't possible, but can be modified to make the environment safer for employees

Stage 3: Reopening higher risk workplaces, which require close proximity to other people, including:

• Hair salons
• Nail salons
• Gyms
• Movie theaters
• Sporting events without live audiences
• In-person religious services (churches and weddings)

Stage 4: Ending the stay-at-home order, which would allow for the reopening of:

• Concert venues
• Convention centers
• Sporting events with live audience

Is it possible we move back a stage?

Yes. The state may decide to enact stricter shelter-in-place restrictions if coronavirus cases start to spike.
