California Protesters Push To Reopen; Governor Urges Caution

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) – Hundreds of protesters lobbying to ease Gov. Gavin Newsom’s tight stay-at-home orders rallied around the California Capitol as Newsom outlined how he has approved some counties’ gradual relaxing of some restrictions aimed at slowing spread of the coronavirus.

Newsom said he’ll give more details about a plan to relax rules throughout the state on Wednesday.
