California’s Stage Two Phased Reopening Continues

As pandemic pressure has eased and public demands have increased, at least 35 counties have announced their ability to accelerate their transition through “Stage 2” of California’s “Pandemic Roadmap”: the reopening of lower-risk workplaces and other spaces.
