Road to Reopening – A message from Anna M. Roth, Health Director, Contra Costa County
(June 6, 2020) – Thanks to all your collective efforts and sacrifices for the health of the community, we are making progress in our fight against COVID-19. There is light at the end of the tunnel.
The state is permitting us and other counties to chart their own courses based on local conditions. We are now able to provide a timeline laying out when we are aiming for opening more businesses and allowing more activities. I hope this provides some clarity about our hoped next steps. We will be updating this document as we get further guidance from the state and in consideration of the status of COVID-19 in our community. Stay safe and we will all get through this together.
But the road map includes the caveat of “We hope to continue opening up the county but, may need to reconsider openings based on the course of the pandemic.”
However, the road map includes the caveat of “We hope to continue opening up the county, but may need to reconsider openings based on the course of the pandemic.” An email was sent to the county health services asking why churches/religious services are not included and when they will be. Please check back later for updates to this report.

You need to open churches. You are permitting 100’s to attend protests and most are not wearing masks, so what’s the difference. This attending church in open spaces is not realistic. We should be allowed to attend church with masks and practice social distancing. Every other county is open except for Contra Costa. Wake up!
Open our city up.
You told us to follow the science and now you just tell me follow you.
I had dinner in Napa and had wonderful time. I went to the beach at Avila Beach wonderful time.
I can protest with 1000 of people and that’s okay.
Contra Costa County Health is a joke!!!
Ignore the haters, you are doing the right thing by doing it slow. It’s a joke that some people are so keen to risk their own health but do not seem to care at all about their mothers and grandfathers. In the last 2 weeks people have died of COVID in this County. Get over it peeps.
Yes, in the last two weeks Of 24 May to 7 June two (2) people have died. We have had 38 total for 2020, which is less than half of how many died from opioids in 2018 (81). How about you get over it – we need to open, get back to work, and live our lives as we as individuals deem best.
