one of the things -- the other things they did was they wanted to discourage counties from undertesting, and so counties that were doing more testing had their case rate downweighted. so for san francisco, because we do a significant amount of testing, they downweighted our case rate, and so we were classified into the red category. and so basically, that means that we had more things available for us to open, and that was really the basis of a -- of the plan that was announced today by the mayor and dr. colfax. and there was -- between friday and today, there was a tremendous amount of work. people really working like crazy to get all of this in time to be able to move forward. and i'll give you just the general themes. i'm not going to go into the details or specifics unless you have some questions. and basically, what we're doing -- we sort of approaches it this way. we looked at our health indicators. can we move forward? are hospitalizations flat or moving down? are our case rates flot or going down, and is our testing in the appropriate range? and dr. colfax indicated that we're m

some counties have a different approach and they want to undertest to find less disease because they want a lower rate. so they balanced their motivation but it doesn't make sense from an epidemiologic perspective. so the way that we're approaching this, saying, okay, epidemiologically we're purple and we look at what we can open up under purple. and then we look at what is available to us under red and how to use risk-based criteria to open up those things that we believe that can be done safely. that's a risk-based approach that we're doing. so we started with outdoor activities and then lower-risk indoor activities that we're opening up just on monday. we're taking a rational approach. so in a sense it's the best of both worlds because we're taking advantage of what is available to us and doing it safely. next slide. how does the health officer know that the city leadership and impact the stakeholders when decisions are made on health orders and reopening decisions. so we consult with subject matter experts. and so that happens -- that happens quite a bit, actually, just over the
