These are the six indicators that Newsom says will guide California's decision-making:
- "The ability to monitor and protect our communities through testing, contact tracing, isolating, and supporting those who are positive or exposed;
- "The ability to prevent infection in people who are at risk for more severe COVID-19;
- "The ability of the hospital and health systems to handle surges;
- "The ability to develop therapeutics to meet the demand;
- "The ability for businesses, schools, and child care facilities to support physical distancing; and
- "The ability to determine when to reinstitute certain measures, such as the stay-at-home orders, if necessary."
