Counties defying state coronavirus 'stay-at-home' orders and reopening for business
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/counties-defying-state-coronavirus-stay-at-home-orders-and-reopening-for-businessAs unrest continues to mount over stay-at-home orders amid the coronavirus pandemic, some counties and towns are taking matters into their own hands by bucking their governors' edicts and reopening segments of their economies.
In California, where Gov. Gavin Newsom has faced protests from Huntington Beach to Sacramento over his statewide restrictions on nonessential businesses and outdoor activities, three counties in the northern part of the state are defying the orders and opening up.
Modoc County – a rural, conservative area near California’s border with Oregon – was the first to defy Newsom’s restrictions by announcing that it would allow bars, restaurants and churches to reopen last Friday. The small community of about 9,600 people has so far reported zero cases of COVID-19.
Far Northern California counties are going against Governor Gavin Newsom. Modoc County has no COVID-19 cases.
