California Gov. Newsom is expected to make an announcement Monday that will lift his state’s COVID-19 home orders, allowing restaurants to reopen for outdoor dining, according to several reports.
The order will be lifted in all regions of the state, according to a letter the California Restaurant Association (CRA) sent to its members.
The letter, dated Sunday, said senior officials in the Newsom government had confirmed the upcoming decision with the association.

“Again, a formal announcement is expected tomorrow and we will send you further information as soon as it is available. For now, we thought you would like to know this good news,” CRA said in the letter, obtained by Fox 11 Los Angeles. .
California has implemented some of the most stringent measures in the country to combat the coronavirus. The Bay Area, Southern California and San Joaquin Valley are under Newsom’s home evidence, according to the letter.
Newsom, a Democrat, launched the country’s first nationwide strike in March. Its administration has developed reopening plans that include criteria for virus data, such as per capita infection rates that provinces had to comply with in order to relax restrictions.
