Gov. Gavin Newsom says small businesses allowed to reopen Friday will have to make many modifications. He says the new normal will stay in place until we get immunity or a vaccine.
Newsom held his daily briefing Tuesday at a small Sacramento business that sells California made products.
"It's incumbent upon all of us to work with businesses like this to make sure that when we do start to open up the economy we do so in a safe and judicious way with the indicator of health guiding our strategies, guiding our decision making, always on the basis of public health," Newsom said.
Under the state's plan, which Newsom outlined Monday, a range of retailers would be permitted to reopen. That includes clothing, sporting goods and flower shops. However, there would be restrictions, such as curbside pickups. More details will be announced Thursday.
The next phase of reopening California's economy does not include dine-in eating at restaurants or the reopening of offices.
