In favor of moving more slowly is the fact that there is a delay between any action and its effect on cases and deaths so if there is a spike in cases, you won't know which measure caused it.  

That's the rationale cited by the SCC public health officer, who wants 3 weeks between changes. Makes sense to me: if you do phase 2 and 3 at the same time, and things go to pot, you'd have to rescind both 2 and 3 and go back to phase 1 or even SiP. Then when things stabilize, you'd have to do the stepped re-opening anyway.
