Stay-at-home orders in California have started to relax as Governor Gavin Newsom announced the staggered re-opening of the state’s economy on Thursday.

Bookstores, clothing stores, florists, and sporting goods businesses can begin selling via curbside take away so long as they meet government standards.

Once the counties are able to test for the coronavirus on a wider scale and healthcare facilities can handle the capacity, hair salons, gyms, offices, and dining-in restaurants will be given the green light.

The COVID-19 outbreak and lockdown measures have left The Golden State with a $53.4 billion budget shortfall, according to Newsom.
