Turlock hair stylists embrace re-opening, despite restrictions

in business/People

After weeks of uncertainty as to when they would be able to cut hair again, stylists at barbershops and salons throughout Stanislaus County finally got their answer on Tuesday as Gov. Gavin Newsom announced they could once again welcome clients into their chairs.

California, which issues one of the earliest statewide stay-at-home orders in mid-March to curb the spread of coronavirus, has been opening its economy in stages. While the state is currently in phase two of its re-opening plan, Newsom has given some counties that meet certain health criteria permission to move further along than other parts of the state.

On Tuesday, Stanislaus County was included as 47 of the state’s 58 counties that have met that criteria. In addition to restaurants and retail which were allowed to open last week, barbershops and hair salons can now re-open with modifications, including strict cleaning requirements and face covering protocols.

Business owners rejoice as county begins to re-open

The streets of Turlock were a bit busier on Thursday as retailers and restaurants welcomed customers inside of their stores for the first time in two months.

Since shelter-in-place orders meant to curb the spread of COVID-19 were implemented throughout California in mid-March, eateries were previously confined to offering only takeout or delivery while retail stores did their best to provide curbside pickup options.

After approval from the state on Wednesday, however, Stanislaus County has now entered the second phase of Stage 2 to re-open the economy, meaning restaurants can now offer dine-in options and shoppers can browse the aisles inside of stores as long as all public health modifications and requirements are met.

STANISLAUS COUNTY, Calif. — Modesto, Turlock, and the rest of Stanislaus County have gotten the green light to reopen their dine-in and retail options.

The order moves them further into the Expanded Phase 2 of reopening.

 “Our goal is to open Stanislaus County in a way that minimizes the risk for COVID-19 transmission, and we have a business community that is committed to reopening safely and responsibly to ensure our residents remain healthy and safe,” said Dr. Julie Vaishampayan, Stanislaus County Health Officer. “I have faith that members of our community will do their part in preventing the spread of the coronavirus, because that is what it is going to take for all of us to succeed including washing hands frequently, staying home when sick, and wearing a face covering”.

"We're going to do everything we possibly can to make it right and put our best foot forward," says Tom Malvino who owns Louis Thomas Fine Men's Apparel and Formal Wear in Marin County.

Protests, Open Defiance Test Newsom’s Resolve as California Counties Push to Reopen

in People

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS/AP) — People in Northern and Southern California ignored closures at public parks and beaches on Sunday, defying stay-at-home orders to slow the spread of the coronavirus as pressure to reopen parts of California continues to build.

Santa Cruz County began on Saturday to close all beaches between 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. to let residents visit the beach in the early morning or sunset hours and keep day-trippers away.

Beaches are just the latest focus for frustrations over Gov. Gavin Newsom’s six-week-old order requiring nearly 40 million residents to remain mostly indoors. Businesses not deemed essential are closed until COVID-19 testing, hospital and death rates indicate the state outbreak is beginning to ease. Millions have been unable to work.
