More reopening expected this week in Contra Costa: business, social activities being considered

May 31, 2020 By Publisher 6 Comments

But no churches until June 15 and only outdoor events

By Dr. Chris Farnitano, Contra Costa County Health Officer & Anna Roth, Contra Costa County Health Director

May 30, 2020 – If we continue to make progress in our fight to contain COVID-19, Contra Costa County will be relaxing more restrictions on businesses and social activities in the coming days and weeks. Details will be announced on June 2. Below are some of the most significant changes being considered:   Effective Wednesday, June 3

Businesses

  • Office-based businesses (telework remains strongly encouraged)
  • Services that don’t require close customer contact, such as housekeeping, car washes, pet grooming and plumbing
  • Outdoor museums, and open gallery spaces and other public spaces with modifications
  • Indoor retail stores, including shopping malls and swap meets

Activities

  • Childcare, including child and youth educational activities and camps for all children, not just essential and allowed workers
  • Small outdoor social gatherings with social distancing (household support bubbles and child extracurricular activities)

Effective Monday, June 15

These are higher risk activities and thus restrictions would be relaxed at a later date.

  • Limited-capacity religious services and cultural ceremonies up to 100 people. These would be limited to outdoor events only.
  • Protests up to 100 people; limited to outdoor events only

The state has a timeline for opening higher risk activities like swimming and salons, which can be found at covid19.ca.gov.

    We need hair salons open now!
    If everyone is wearing a mask and we follow the one client at a time protocol with social distance spacing, we might be able to save our businesses.
    I don’t understand why it’s ok to go to Costco and Home Depot or the Dentist but not a hair salon. Let’s get going!

    Dr. Farnirano and Anne Roth need to be fired. They do not have the best interests of our county in mind. Our economy is being ruined and people’s life works have been destroyed because this virus has been so politicized. Not a dime of federal money should go to California until these Draconian measures imposed by the governor and these counties have been lifted.
