Restaurant dinning rooms are officially given the green light to open

Late Wednesday night, San Diego County was given state approval to enter phase 2B of the reopening process, which means that restaurant dining rooms can now be reopened and retail stores can resume in-person shopping. The news comes just a day after San Diego requested permission to move to Stage 2B of the state’s four-stage reopening plan after the county met Gov. Gavin Newsom’s recently loosened metrics for reopening.
