SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — Local officials say the county has been cleared to reopen more businesses ahead of the state, including gyms, hotels, bars, day camps, and museums.

- Family entertainment facilities (bowling alleys, batting cages, etc.)
- Day camps
- Campgrounds

San Diego Supervisors sent a letter to Gov. Gavin Newsom last week requested the expanded reopenings.
Friday, the state released new guidance on reopening sectors of the economy including the businesses listed above for variance counties, of which San Diego is included. The state's criteria for sectors can be found here.
"The following guidance should be implemented only with county health officer approval following their review of local epidemiological data including cases per 100,000 population, rate of test positivity, and local preparedness to support a health care surge, vulnerable populations, contact tracing and testing," the state's website reads.
