May 12, 2:20 p.m. The California State University campuses will move all scheduled in-person classes to near-total virtual instruction this fall, CSU Chancellor Timothy White announced Tuesday. Exceptions will be made for students in nursing programs and other lab settings.

The change will affect the entire 23-university CSU system, including its four Bay Area schools: San Francisco State, Cal State East Bay, San Jose State and Sonoma State.

“Our university, when open without restrictions and fully in person, as is the traditional norm of the past, is a place where over 500,000 people come together in close and vibrant proximity with each other on a daily basis,” White said. “That approach, sadly, just isn’t in the cards now as I have described.” Read more on CSU closures from SFGATE Editor Alyssa Pereira.

May 12, 1:30 p.m. With many counties in California ready to move deeper into stage two of Gov. Gavin Newsom’s four-phase plane, the governor announced Tuesday new guidelines for offices, shopping malls, outdoor museums and select services such as dog grooming and car washes.

These sectors of the economy can open under physical-distancing guidelines outlined by the state. Newsom noted that while some counties are ready for this next step, other regions, such as some counties in the Bay Area, may move at a slower pace.

Newsom said only offices where teleworking isn’t possible will be allowed to reopen (see guidelines for offices), but working from home is highly encouraged. Shopping malls, strip malls and outlet malls can resume business for curbside pickup only.

If specific measures are met, certain services will also be allowed to restart operations including dog grooming, car washes, dog walking, cleaning services, dry cleaning, auto repair and landscaping.

Restaurants were another big topic of discussion at the Tuesday press briefing and Newsom released guidelines for reopening restaurants in counties that receive approval from the state to move more quickly into stage two. Read about the new guidelines in a story by Amy Graff on SFGATE.

At the press briefing, Newsom said the state is in conversation with 27 counties seeking regional variances; Butte and El Dorado counties are the first two to be given approval to move farther into stage two. In the Bay Area, none of the counties have made official announcements about plans to reopen restaurants as of yet.

May 12, 1:10 p.m. Los Angeles County, the epicenter of California’s coronavirus outbreak, is almost certain to extend its stay-at-home mandate until August.

May 12, 12:15 p.m. BART and other transit agencies nationwide are pushing for more federal funding due to decreases in ridership caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

“We can’t afford to be reactive,” said BART General Manager Bob Powers in a virtual joint press conference Tuesday. “We must be up and fully functioning to deliver … We must keep our greatest assets — our employees — safe. We must operate a thoroughly clean and disinfected transit system and we must put out frequent service.”

May 12, 12:00 p.m. California Gov. Gavin Newsom said at a Tuesday press conference the state has administered more than 1 million COVID-19 tests.

Newsom acknowledged that when the virus first arrived in the United States that testing across the nation and in the state was inadequate.

“It was a month or so ago, we were averaging 2,000 tests a day,” Newsom said. “In a state as large as ours that was completely unacceptable.”

A goal was set for the state to reach 25,000 tests a day by the end of May, and Newsom said the state is now way ahead of that goal and averaging 35,000 tests a day.

The next goal is to reach 60,000 to 80,000 tests a day.

Six new state-managed sites have opened in the state “to go even deeper in rural California” and the state’s COVID-19 test sites “are free.”

There are also some pop-up sites are that state that charge insurance or ask for out-of-pocket payment.

“Testing is part of the roadmap to reopening,” Newsom said.

May 12, 7:30 a.m. President Donald Trump showed support Tuesday for Tesla CEO Elon Musk restarting operations at his Fremont plant even though it violates Alameda County’s shelter-in-place order.

“California should let Tesla & @elonmusk open the plant, NOW,” the president tweeted. “It can be done Fast & Safely!” Read the full story by Amy Graff on SFGATE.

May 12, 7 a.m. At his regular Tuesday press briefing, California Gov. Gavin Newsom is expected to release official guidelines for restaurants to open their doors and invite customers to dine inside.

While Newsom gave retail across the state the green light to resume business on May 8, the governor has yet to allow for the widespread reopening of restaurants. But he is permitting counties that both have low infection rates and are meeting certain requirements to request regional variances to open restaurants.

Six counties in the Bay Area (Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, San Francisco, San Mateo and Santa Clara) are following a slower timeline for reopening than the state. Retail in these counties isn’t expected to open until later this month. Newsom has said counties don’t need to comply with the California shelter-in-place order if their requirements are more strict than the state’s.

Newsom has provided clues into what the requirements for restaurants might look like. For example, they may be required to operate with fewer tables to provide physical distancing between diners. Servers could be wearing masks and gloves and may offer diners disposable menus, but the state has yet to release any official guidelines.

You can watch the governor’s briefing on Tuesday at noon on Facebook.
