On May 7, Dr. Mark Ghaly, the Secretary of California’s Health and Human Services Agency talked about opening up some businesses in the state – with rules that will allow you to buy Mother’s Day flowers this weekend.
He also talked about something called “regional variance.” This takes into account that California communities differ considerably in their degree of density. The state is backing away from one-size-fits-all social-distancing and business-opening policies.
Dr. Ghaly began his address by praising the hard work done by the state’s public health officers to save lives.
