Gavin Newsom [Wiki]<\/figcaption><\/figure>LOS ANGELES\u00a0 – Shedding some light on when California residents might see relief from stay-at-home orders, Gov. Gavin Newsom<\/strong> Tuesday outlined indicators that will need to be met before such a move is considered — such as increasing testing capacity and ensuring protection for at-risk people.<\/p>\n

Newsom unveiled six such indicators that the state will strive to meet before it will even think about rolling back the strict social-distancing, business-closure and stay-at-home mandates. With so many goals in mind, Newsom offered no specifics on when any of the mandates will be lifted or softened, only saying the indicators provide a framework for how the decision will be made.<\/p>\n

“I know you want a timeline but we can’t get ahead of ourselves,” Newsom said. “… Let’s not make a mistake by pulling the plug too early.”<\/p>\n

But in the face of President Donald Trump<\/strong>‘s insistence that the White House will determine when many such orders will be lifted, Newsom said it will be science, not politics, that dictate the decision-making. He declined to comment on Trump’s assertion that the president has total authority to make such decisions.<\/p>\n

The six goals Newsom cited were:<\/p>\n

— the ability to adequately expand testing and contact tracing to support people who have contracted the virus and people who have been exposed;<\/p>\n

— a stepped-up process for preventing infections among higher-risk residents, such as the elderly or people with underlying health conditions;<\/p>\n

— assurance that hospitals are prepared to handle surges in patients;<\/p>\n

— partnerships with academics to develop therapeutics or treatments;<\/p>\n

— assurance that businesses, schools and child care facilities can safely reopen while maintaining social-distancing needs; and<\/p>\n

— development of a plan to quickly re-institute some measures, such as stay-at-home orders, if needed after restrictions are softened.<\/p>\n

Newsom has said he is working with his counterparts in other western states to develop the framework for a possible relieving of restrictions that require people to remain home as much as possible and keep non-essential businesses shuttered. He said he recognizes the economic impact on business that cannot open and residents who cannot work, but he insisted it is too early to develop a timeline of when conditions will ease.<\/p>\n
