Californians could attend church services and get their hair trimmed in the coming weeks, while the vast majority of counties can allow restaurant dining soon, Gov. Gavin Newsom said Monday
OAKLAND — as he eased reopening standards due to continued improvements in California's coronavirus trend lines.
Newsom also said relief could come to reeling cosmeticians and shaggy-headed residents in the weeks ahead if the trend lines of declining cases hold. His reopening framework put cosmetology services in a later phase, after manufacturing and curbside retail, but Newsom said encouraging numbers could accelerate the process.
Under the new regional guidelines, counties would need a test positivity rate of less than 8 percent or a rate of 25 cases per 100,000 residents or less. Newsom said the state would account for “hot spots within counties” like skilled-nursing facilities that are often viral epicenters driving up counties’ overall numbers.
