California, the first state to impose severe lockdown restrictions as the pandemic raged a year ago, is finally open for business again.
The most populous U.S. state is allowing most businesses to partially or fully reopen this month, potentially boosting the national economy, and all adults will be eligible for Covid-19 vaccines as of April 15. The Los Angeles school district, the nation’s second largest, is bringing students back to classrooms next week, as are San Francisco and San Diego.
