Saw this was going on in CA, probably should expect an announcement from Lansing soon:
California adds COVID-19 equity requirement. It could trip up counties’ reopenings
By MAURA DOLANSTAFF WRITER OCT. 1, 202012:53 PM UPDATED5:10 PM
California’s larger counties will not be permitted to reopen their economies further unless they reduce coronavirus infections in the hardest-hit places where the poor, Black people, Latinos and Pacific Islanders live.
Under a new state requirement for reopening during the pandemic, counties with more than 106,000 residents must bring infections down in these places and invest heavily there in testing, contact tracing, outreach and providing means for infected people to isolate. Los Angeles is one county sure to be affected, along with others in Southern California.
The measure is designed to ensure that test positivity rates in the most disadvantaged neighborhoods do not significantly exceed a county’s overall rate, a disparity that has been widespread during the pandemic.
