On May 27, 2020, the Governor of the State of São Paulo,
Brazil unveiled the details for reopening the state. The plan,
called Conscious Restart, divides the state into 17 areas. Each
area can enter into a new reopening phase every 15 days, depending
on the number of COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations, and deaths, and
the area's hospital/ICU capacity. Each phase allows certain
industries or sectors to restart operations with restrictions,
which will be relaxed at each phase. The phases are marked in
colors, from red (most restricted) to blue ("controlled
normal").
Starting June 1, 2020, several areas will enter Phase 2
(orange), including the City of São Paulo (but not the
adjacent municipalities), as per the chart below:
