Counties across California will have the option to ease stay-at-home orders starting next week — but only if they meet a laundry list of requirements surrounding coronavirus case counts, testing and hospital capacity, state officials said Thursday.

As California begins to move into the second phase of reopening the economy — starting with curbside pickups at retailers beginning Friday — some jurisdictions may be authorized to move ahead faster so long as they hit the benchmarks, Gov. Gavin Newsom said.

“Its a health-first frame. If they can’t meet it … then we’re not able to accommodate that, and we’ll be compelled to enforce it in a thoughtful and judicious way,” the governor said.

To move at a quicker clip, counties must attest to the state that they’ve had no more than one case per 10,000 people in the last 14 days and no COVID-19 related deaths during the same period, explained Dr. Mark Ghaly, secretary of  California Health and Human Services.

Counties must also test at a minimum daily rate of 1.5 tests per 1,000 residents and have at least 15 contact tracers per 100,000 residents, Ghaly said.

Other guidelines include having a “robust plan” for personal protective equipment supplies across the hospital workforce, supporting homeless residents with housing, and the ability to handle future surges in COVID-19 cases.

Skilled nursing facilities — which have been rocked by a concentration of cases and deaths in the Bay Area and beyond — must have a more than 14 day supply of PPE, plus the means to order additional PPE from suppliers when running low.

In the Bay Area, the stay-at-home order has been extended through May 31st with an easing of limited outdoor activities, but the seven jurisdictions will not follow Newsom’s lead to open up more businesses.

“The Bay Area orders do not currently permit curbside pickup from non-essential, non-outdoor businesses, and that is not allowed to begin on Friday, May 8,” the Bay Area’s health officers said in a joint statement after Newsom’s address, adding they will study his guidance “carefully.”

Businesses that plan to begin reopening in the next phase, meanwhile, must also follow detailed guidelines now available on the state’s website. Across all sectors, employers must perform a risk assessment for their site, train employees on the spread of COVID-19 and screen employees for symptoms.

Each industry — including retailers, manufacturers and logistics — must also follow specific criteria tailored to them. Manufacturing break rooms, for instance, may be closed down in favor of open-air rooms, Ghaly said.

The state has also provided non-mandatory checklists as businesses begin to implement new protocols.

“This is not etched in stone — we want to continue to work with people across sectors and address not just intended but unintended consequences,” Newsom said.

This post has been updated to reflect that counties are required to have no more than one case per 10,000 residents, not one case per 1,000 residents.
