Policy makers in LA set out guidelines last week to help people get back to work.  Gov. Gavin Newsom has announced that certain local businesses will be able to reopen if they have a low amount of cases of the novel coronavirus.

This will include local eateries and shopping malls so long as they are in line with the guidelines including social distancing, testing and disinfectant/cleaning laws. As well, pet groomers and car washing facilities will be able to re-open.

Californians whose jobs have been impacted by COVID-19 and not been able to work from home will be allowed to return to their offices on two conditions: their particular counties are considered safe and the offices in which they work are following all regulations.

The first seven counties that have met the regulations and will be permitted to reopen are: Amador, Butte, El Dorado, Lassen, Nevada, Placer and Shasta.
