00:10 In our additional modifications, we are moving forward to allow

00:25 some of the larger counties to continue to make progress deeper into phase two.

00:32 And to do so effective immediately, but on their own pace.

00:37 And I say effective immediately, meaning the guidelines are out there,

00:41 meaning the processes are in place.

00:44 But they can go at their own pace.

00:47 We estimate roughly, plus or minus, again, it's a dynamic number,

00:51 roughly 53 of the 58 counties would be eligible to move into this phase.

00:57 Again, not everyone will move into this phase, and

01:01 that eligibility is conditioned on the criteria that we're putting out.

01:06 Again, I want to reinforce that just because we're creating the capacity and

01:13 the availability to move into phase two doesn't mean that every county is ready.

01:19 LA County, as an example, I imagine, will be cautious in that respect.

01:24 We expect if we hold the rate of transmissions, we hold the positivity

01:32 rate down, we continue to do justice to the hospitalization ICU numbers.

01:38 That we'll be making announcements statewide,

01:42 not just with the regional variances.

01:44 That would allow for retail not just to be picked up, but

01:49 in-store retail to be loosened up.

01:53 In addition to that, sporting events, pro sports,

01:58 in that first week or so of June without spectators and

02:02 modifications and very prescriptive conditions also can begin to move forward.

02:10 And a number of other sectors of our economy will open up again if we

02:16 hold these trend lines in the next number of weeks.
