SLO County in Purple Tier

We are currently in the Widespread (or Purple) Tier 1 of the State's Blueprint for a Safer Economy,  which highlights core metrics for stages of reopening. 

Self-Quarantine If Close Contact Tests Positive for COVID-19

As COVID-19 cases increase in San Luis Obispo County, more people may come into close contact with someone who tests positive for the virus. Local health officials ask those individuals to self-quarantine until they get a call from a contact tracer. To get tested and help slow the spread of disease, visit emergencyslo.org/testing. For information about quarantine, visit emergencyslo.org/en/quarantine-information.aspx.

Limited Stay at Home Order

There are new stay at home requirements for counties in the purple tier. COVID-19 is increasing at alarming rates in California and we all need to do our part to stop the surge. As of November 21, 2020 through December 21, 2020, it is required that all non-essential work and activities stop between 10PM and 5AM in counties in the Widespread (purple) tier, including SLO County. Read more in the limited stay at home order.

Thanksgiving Guidelines

Local health officials recommend following the State’s COVID-19 Private Gathering Guidelines, which specifies no more than three households gathering (the same three, not different groups each time) as well as events not lasting more than two hours. Remember,
gatherings are most likely to spread COVID-19 and spikes of infection are possible even in small gatherings and even among close relatives. 

Travel Advisory

Persons arriving in California from other states or countries, including returning California residents, should practice self-quarantine for 14 days after arrival. These persons should limit their interactions to their immediate household. This recommendation does not apply to individuals who cross state or country borders for essential travel. Californians are encouraged to stay home or in their region and avoid non-essential travel to other states or countries. Avoiding travel can reduce the risk of virus transmission and bringing the virus back to California. Details

Tenant and Landlord Protections

Eviction moratorium
The statewide freeze on residential evictions has been extended through January 31, 2021. Renters in California who cannot pay their rent because of COVID-19-related hardships should know their rights and responsibilities. 

Mortgage foreclosure protection and relief
Small homeowners have been extended foreclosure protections in a state order passed August 31. Many banks and financial institutions have committed to providing relief for homeowners in California. Find out more about mortgage help and how to get it.

Avoiding utility shut-off
Many utility providers are not shutting off services due to non-payment. Check with the California Public Utilities Commission for more information. The Water Board restricts the shut off of water during the COVID crisis. Please use this form to report any water shutoff or reconnect issue.
