FILE - In this April 1, 2020, file photo Dr. Mark Ghaly, secretary of the California Health and Human Services, gestures to a chart showing the impact of the mandatory stay-at-home orders, during a news conference in Rancho Cordova, Calif. A steady drop in coronavirus cases across California cleared the way Tuesday, Sept. 22, 2020, for the wider reopening of businesses in nine counties, including much of the San Francisco Bay Area, the state's top health official said. Ghaly, said nail salons could also reopen with restrictions, though he cautioned that California's reopening must remain "slow and stringent" and residents cannot let their guard down as flu season arrives and cases rise in Europe and other parts of the U.S. (AP Photo/Rich Pedroncelli, Pool, File)
