Bars and gyms could reopen as early as this week. That announcement came after Governor Gavin Newsom announced the state was moving into Phase three of its reopening plan. Officials say it is up to individual counties to determine when to reopen certain segments of their local economies. San Luis Obispo County Public Health Officer Dr. Penny Borenstein said at a Friday news briefing that she would review the guidelines over the weekend to ensure they are in line with what the county’s COVID-19 data shows. Prior to reopening, businesses must meet the state’s industry-specific guidelines which will be posted on the California Department of Public Health’s website, as well as ReadySLO.org.
