Newsom recently approved the San Diego Couty Board of Supervisors plan to resume in-store dining with modifications and retail shopping\u2014a huge step on the road to recovery. Additionally, a recent announcement made San Diego one of 47 counties allowed to reopen barbershops and hair salons with safety protocols in place. Burkholder is happy to see this progress, but is pushing for further restrictions to be lifted as soon as possible, warning against the adverse effects on unemployment and the economy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Unemployment in our San Diego region stands at 30.1% now. Two zip codes in my district are among the hardest hit in the county,&#8221; said Burkholder. &#8220;The latest SANDAG report states that in order to take a significant turn for the better, the region must move into phase 3 of opening.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She\u2019s right, of course. The SANDAG report documents the adverse effects of this pandemic on our economy. &#8220;Jobless claims continue to rise as the economy stays in lockdown mode for the ninth week. New job formation is slow, with businesses making tough decisions including claiming bankruptcy or choosing not to reopen after stay-at-home orders are lifted,&#8221; the report states. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, there\u2019s hope. The report also notes that &#8220;the phased reopening signals that the pandemic curve may start flattening, and economic improvement may occur in the next few weeks.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like Burkholder said, it\u2019s absolutely essential for San Diego to quickly move into the third phase of reopening as soon as possible to spearhead economic improvement efforts and save our county before it\u2019s too late.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Melanie Burkholder recently spoke out on city and statewide developments regarding the COVID-19 situation, covering reopening efforts as well as steps to take moving forwards.
