San Diego County officials give an update on the coronavirus. Today, Gov. Newsom announced the state’s guidance to reopen barbershops and salons.SAN DIEGO – As San Diegans continue to comply with COVID-19- related public health orders and the illness trends downward, San Diego County health officials announced Tuesday the region’s houses of worship, hair salons and barber shops could reopen.
They must also arrange for social distancing of at least 6 feet between people, establish and implement a COVID-19 prevention plan for every location, train staff and regularly evaluate workplaces for compliance. Other local restrictions include no singing, no touching and no passing of items. Some churches and faith leaders have also sued the state, seeking to compel the reopening of houses of worship, and the U.S. Department of Justice recently sent a letter to the state warning that restrictions on such facilities could be a violation of federal law.
Additionally, Fletcher said one-on-one sports training would now be permitted, so long as the instructor and their student could maintain social distancing. This will allow for golf and tennis, as well as individual soccer, baseball, volleyball and other coaching sessions. San Diego County’s public health officer, Dr. Wilma Wooten, said the data showed “it appears we may have peaked.” She said the next 21 days would represent another litmus test for the county’s handle on the illness, with reopenings Tuesday and Wednesday and a several week-long incubation period for the illness to follow.
