The saga continues.
After a month or more of eased restrictions, California’s “Statewide Public Health Officer Order” (July 13, 2020) required all counties to close indoor operations for • dine-in restaurants, • wineries and tasting rooms, • movie theaters, • family entertainment centers (for example: bowling alleys, miniature golf, batting cages and arcades), • zoos and museums, and • card rooms.
With exception for any outdoor dining services, bars, brewpubs, breweries, and pubs were also to close all operations.
The new order also specified that counties remaining on the California County Monitoring List for three consecutive days are required to shut down: • gyms and fitness centers, • places of worship and cultural ceremonies including weddings and funerals, • offices for non-critical infrastructure sectors, • personal care services such as nail salons and body waxing, • hair salons and barbershops, • shopping malls, • shops that offer tattoos, • piercings, and • electrolysis.
We count 20 counties which have rescinded their local orders to follow statewide guidances: • Colusa • Calaveras • El Dorado • Fresno • Inyo • Kern • Kings • Lake • Mono • Monterrey • Nevada • Placer • Riverside • San Benito • San Bernardino • San Luis Obispo • Santa Cruz • Stanislaus • Tehama and • Yolo.
Other counties and many cities continue with “safer at home” or “shelter in place” ordinances similar to or stricter than Sacramento’s statewide directives. To our knowledge, as of August 7, 2020:
Amended Health Officer Order – Isolation Non-Immunocompromised (7.23.20)
Amended Health Officer Order – Isolation Immunocompromised and/or Critically Ill (7.23.20)
