State Assemblywoman Sharon Quirk-Silva (D-Calif.) wrote to Newsom arguing that the continued closure of amusement parks contradicts the guidelines for the reopening of other businesses.
“Many indoor facilities are already operating safely at reduced capacities, with face covering and physical distancing requirements, and with heightened hygiene practices. Logic would suggest that since theme parks are controlled venues operating predominantly outdoors, that they too could reopen with similar health and safety protocols,” Quirk-Silva said in her letter.
