"Some of whom will become positive. That's not a concern as they quarantined for the entire period," he said. A ban on home gatherings remains in effect, but up to 10 people can meet outdoors, students can return to schools, retail can reopen and hospitality venues can resume seated service. "If you are watching now and have a cough or runny nose, you know what you have to do," Mr Merlino said."That is the only way we can be sure we know where coronavirus is and run it out of the state."
