Some California workplaces, schools and childcare facilities can gradually reopen once the state improves coronavirus testing and contact tracing, the state's health officer said.

This second phase of the state's response to Covid-19 would allow retail curbside pickup, some manufacturing and office work that cannot be done from home, Sonia Angell, the state's public health director, said in a televised address.

“Phase two is in weeks, not months,” California Governor Gavin Newsom said in the address.
