SACRAMENTO - Gov. Gavin Newsom announced Tuesday that counties can begin to reopen hair salons and barbershops, marking a transition to the third stage of a plan to ease his stay-at-home order as California nears 100,000 confirmed cases of COVID-19.
With cases on track to nearly double in the month of May, the governor has pointed to steady hospitalizations and other metrics as proof that the state is bending the curve.
The shears will not be snipping immediately in Los Angeles County, however. The county, which accounts for the bulk of the state’s COVID-19 cases and more than half of its reported deaths, is one of 11 the state has not yet allowed to push further in reopening.
Both L.A. County and city restrictions are more severe than the statewide ones.
Newsom’s move to resume salon services, under a county-by-county approach, adds to a growing list of activities, including in-person shopping and eating at restaurants, that the governor has permitted at a regional or statewide level over the last month.
But even as the governor walked back his original March 19 stay-at-home order after some counties openly defied his rules, he warned that the coronavirus will remain a threat in California for months to come.

Looks like the Dems are seeing the light, or at least the polls, about their failure to keep their boot on the people’s neck...
What are the other 11 counties in Calif. that are like Los Angeles?
Barbers, salons still closed in Alameda County.
I’m sure Santa Clara County is one of them.
They should keep Los Angeles shut down until at least October, So I can work all summer without Traffic!!
Newsome is not as stupid as he looks.
The people are tired of the house arrest and want everything reopened.
He can either lead, get out of the way or be ran over.
I’d like to know when the county of Placer is going to open so we can get a building permit
Filled out the application online haven’t heard back from anybody in over a week
When does Governor Gruesomes trial for murder start for forcing Covid patients into old folks homes like his counterpart Governor Cuomo?
Or are Governors above mass murder justice, while citizens spend time in jail for improper social distancing...
F you, Newsom, and the hair-gelled horse you rode in on.
My local restaurant is open in Orange County. You have to wear a mask to enter and order but not while eating.
One benefit of lockdown is finding out what we really need. I am happy to report about 3 junk phone calls per WEEK...instead of the 6 or 7 per DAY.
I have noticed that the SF Chronicle stories on the reopening always include the phrase “Newsom allows” business to reopen.
