COVID-19 General Updates

County Guidance Allows Safe Phased Reopening of Specific Activities

The County’s Shelter at Home Order allows the County to interpret the Governor’s Order in a manner that is applicable to the services and businesses in our county.

In reviewing the County’s Order and interpreting the State’s Order, County officials identified business sectors that can reopen under the County and State Orders. These include:

Non-urgent health care and outpatient services
Construction
Dog grooming
Recreational fishing

In each case, businesses and the public will be expected to follow the County’s appropriate physical distancing, face covering and protective personal equipment (PPE) guidelines, which are in line with the CDC and CDPH guidelines. More details
