The announcement can be seen as a distant light at the end of the tunnel.
, and yesterday, the states of California and Oregon provided insight into their plans for ramping down. No timeline was provided as to when these new guidelines will be instated, but the announcement can be seen as a distant light at the end of the tunnel.
In a press conference, California Gov. Gavin Newsom—describing a comprehensive plan coordinated with Oregon Gov. Kate Brown and Washington Governor Jay Inslee—at one point. “There’s no playbook that someone else has put together. There are examples from around the world. We are incorporating those best practices and those considerations,” he began. “We talk about what the new normal will look like.
In separate remarks, Brown mentioned other possibilities, as well. “We want to bring together business owners and practitioners with health professionals to discuss how reopening gradually in these sectors [including restaurants] might be accomplished,” she stated. “For example, this might include additional guidelines for reconfiguring the delivery of services with added physical barriers like plexiglass dividers, or requirements for wearing PPE.
Inslee’s press conference is slated to take place to place today at 3 p.m. Pacific Time. Meanwhile, Newsom stated that other Western state governors “are also likely to join on this broader regional protocol”—meaning the California governor’s remarks could prove prescient for dining experiences in other parts of the U.S. as well.
As far as when people may begin seeing this new normal, Newsom said the answer isn’t cut and dry. “There is no light switch here. I would argue it’s more like a dimmer,” he stated, “this toggling back and forth between more restrictive and less restrictive measures, more individual accountability, more individual responsibility.
