Here is my summary of Governor Newsom's comments at his press conference as relates to a possible timeline for reopening
Disneyland. Anything in quotation marks is a direct quote. Mods - I've tried to keep this opinion/speculation free; but please let me know if I crossed any line, and I will edit out the post.
Governor Newsom outlined four phases of reopening and stated that data and science, not predetermined dates, will determine when California moves from one phase to the next, and speculated that California is "weeks, not months" from moving into Phase 2. In broad outlines, he stated that each of the following would be allowed to reopen in each phase:
Phase 2 (the next phase expected to happen within "weeks") - retail, non-essential manufacturing, offices, logistics, and schools. He emphasized the need to mitigate learning loss in the decision to include schools in Phase 2. His public health director added that public spaces such as parks and trails may be opened in Phase 2 as well.
Phase 3 (no timeline) - Personal care establishments, such as gyms, nail salons, and hairdressers. The public health director added that entertainment venues such as movie theaters and sports without live audiences would be part of Phase 3, as well as in-person religious services.
Phase 4 (no timeline) - "Highest risk activities" including conventions, concerts, and "other larger entertainment venues" drawing crowds. The public health director added that live audience sports would also be part of Phase 4. ADDED: Per
@DontSpamMe and
@StarlitNight05, it was stated that moving into Phase 4 is "months away" and would require the availability of therapeutics.
Theme parks were not specifically mentioned by either Governor Newsom or the public health director, unless they said it while I was brushing my teeth and I didn't hear
