California officials announced an update to the current Stay Home Order on Wednesday. The state will now allow playgrounds to remain open "to facilitate physically distanced personal health and wellness through outdoor exercise.”
The update also allows school playgrounds to operate when used for in-person instruction, but they cannot be accessible by the public.
San Diego County Supervisor Nathan Fletcher released a statement about the update, saying “Kids in San Diego County can now enjoy local playgrounds. This is something that can be done safely and make the lives of families easier. My conversations with California Governor Gavin Newsom and Secretary Dr. Mark Ghaly worked, and I appreciate their partnership on this adjustment.”
