The criteria are stated in the presentation linked in the article

  I stand corrected. Leaving my comment unedited so I suffer the embarrassment in perpetuity. FWIW, the 14 day criteria is for moving from stage II to stage III (or quasi stage-III--it's a stage II "variance"). Stage III reopens places like gyms and movie theaters. But in stage II most places can open, including factories, so long as they maintain social distancing. Stage II appears to be where China, etc, are still at.

    That's a good point on the criteria being for Stage III, in which case it seems more reasonable. I do still hope that when the decision comes to move to that stage, that they look at the full picture rather than relying just on the metric.
