In response to protests of his stay-at-home order on Monday, Newsom said some countries, including Singapore and parts of China, lifted some coronavirus restrictions but then had to reimpose them when they saw a surge in cases.

He said his administration shares the protesters’ goal to reopen the economy and is assessing when it will be safe to do so. He promised a peek “behind the curtain” Wednesday as to where the state stands on testing, hospitalizations and other metrics he’s monitoring to determine when California can start reopening.
