Governor Newsom Accelerates Phase 3 - What Does This Mean For The Zoo?

I finally had time to read Governor Newsom's latest Update, dated Fri June 5.

At this link you can scroll the section, June 12... in the above screencap and choose the highlighted Zoo hyperlink which will take you to an eleven page pdf document on guidelines.

While I directed most of my frustration about the Zoo not being allowed to Re-Open to Governor Newsom, the final decision seems to be carried by local Government.  

Based on this and other recent research it seems the Re-Opening Protocol is that each State Governor forms their Timeline based on CDC (Center for Disease Control, a National Dept) Guideline.  Then as the Governor allows entry into the next Phase, a County Timeline comes into play, mandated by Local Mayor's who are taking queue from local Health Departments.

Curiously, in this June 5 Timeline Update Governor Newsom announced California could enter Phase 3, a full two months earlier than noted just over a week before.  Why the change? Who knows.

With Zoos being in Phase 3, what does that mean for the San Francisco Zoo?

As noted the final decision will come from local Government, so we must continue to wait for Mayor Breed to give the word that the Zoo can re-open.
