Gavin Newsom listed 6 steps for re-opening California. Here they are.

PROTECTING THOSE AT SEVERE RISK

Newsom said his administration has made it a top priority to protect the most vulnerable populations to COVID-19.

INSURING SURGE CAPACITY

Newsom said it is important that before California opens its doors back up for business, that its hospitals and health care facilities are prepared to handle a potential surge in demand.

THERAPEUTICS MUST MEET DEMAND

Newsom said it is critical that the state engage with academic and corporate research partners to produce better therapeutics “which are profoundly important as we bridge ultimately toward herd immunity and a vaccine within, we hope, the next year or so.”

SOCIETAL INFRASTRUCTURE MUST CHANGE

Newsom said that it’s time to start “re-drawing our floor plans” to make businesses, schools and public facilities safer and more resistant to the spread of diseases like COVID-19.


WE MUST BE READY FOR ANYTHING

Gov. Newsom warned that even when the shelter-at-home order goes away, it may not be gone for good.

They don't usually behave that way. We must expect it to be around basically forever.

This won't be a huge problem after we have a vaccine or other way to combat it.

But we'd be fooling ourselves if we expect the virus to simply disappear.
