The Hill-
Modoc County, California – sparsely populated and located in the northeast corner of the state – is planning on reopening schools, hair salons, churches, restaurants and its lone movie theater on Friday, in direct defiance of Gov. Gavin Newsom’s (D) statewide stay-at-home order.
The country has no confirmed COVID-19 cases, and after consulting with health officials, the county’s board of supervisors voted to reopen on Friday.
“Just as our physical health is vital for our citizens, so is the mental health and the economic health of our citizens,” Ned Coe, a county supervisor told Sacramento’s NBC affiliate.
