On Monday, indoor shopping malls, hair salons and barber shops
opened with reduced capacity in many areas of California under a
new four-tiered framework released by Gov. Gavin Newsom. The
majority of the state’s counties are currently in “Tier 1” with the
most restrictions for reopening. Reaction to the new plan has been
mixed, with some thinking it moves too slowly and others fearing it
moves too quickly. The plan is also facing criticism by some local
officials and business owners who cite inconsistencies in the way
the rules are applied. We'll talk about the state’s new tiered,
color-coded system for reopening businesses and schools and hear
how California's second largest county, San Diego, is handling its
“Tier 2” reopening.
