One of California's most desolate jurisdictions with no known coronavirus cases says it will allow bars, restaurants and churches to reopen today despite Gov. Gavin Newsom's statewide lockdown
OAKLAND, Calif. — Modoc County — one of California's most desolate jurisdictions with no known coronavirus cases — says it will allow bars, restaurants and churches to reopen Friday despite Gov. Gavin Newsom's statewide lockdown.
The plan still recommends that all at-risk residents — those 65 and older or who have underlying health conditions — remain at home. Restaurants and bars would have to cut their maximum capacity in half. Maintaining physical distance is easier in the county of 9,600 residents, located in a 4,200-square-mile corner of northeast California that borders Oregon and Nevada.
Newsom on Thursday acknowledged he’s received requests from Modoc and several other communities requesting to ease the restrictions, but set “the next few weeks” as the timeline. He said counties may be "more prescriptive and restrictive” than the state guidelines, but looser measures will conflict with the state order.
