Santa Clara County, the Bay Area county that officials say was the site of the country’s first known death due to the new coronavirus (COVID-19), will begin to allow outdoor, sit-down dining Friday. The move comes nearly three months after a region-wide shelter-in-place order meant that all restaurants were relegated to takeout-only service, and less than a week after the county’s top health officer criticized California Gov. Gavin Newsom for the speed with which the state is reopening for business.
