County closures apply to counties that have been on the County Monitoring List for 3 consecutive days.
Gatherings: The Order strongly discourages gatherings, but it allows outdoor gatherings of up to 60 people. As explained in the Health Officer’s Mandatory Directive for Gatherings, indoor gatherings are not allowed at this time. Gatherings have special rules and must comply with the Directive.
Face coverings: Everyone must comply with the Face Covering Guidance issued by the California Department of Public Health, which requires most people to wear a face covering most of the time whenever they leave home.

Executive Summary of Current Order
As COVID-19 rates across our state and region continue to increase, the County Health Officer is shifting to a new approach to contain the virus and protect the safety of our community. The new Health Officer Order, issued July 2, 2020, imposes strict across-the-board risk reduction measures on activities and businesses. The Order also allows certain activities to resume if those measures are followed, primarily those that were already open in surrounding jurisdictions.
General Requirements:
The Order urges County residents to reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission by staying home as much as possible and minimizing trips and activities outside the home. Individuals over age 70 and those with serious underlying medical conditions should stay home other than for essential needs. The Order requires all individuals to strictly follow social distancing requirements when outside their home, and generally prohibits all activities that don’t allow for social distancing.
Gatherings: The Order strongly discourages gatherings, but it allows outdoor gatherings of up to 60 people. As explained in the Health Officer’s Mandatory Directive for Gatherings, indoor gatherings are not allowed at this time. Gatherings have special rules and must comply with the Directive.
Face coverings: Everyone must comply with the Face Covering Guidance issued by the California Department of Public Health, which requires most people to wear a face covering most of the time whenever they leave home.
Requirements Applicable to All Businesses:
The Order requires that all businesses that are open for their workers or for customers follow a set of rules to reduce the risk of spreading COVID-19, including:
Telework: All businesses must continue to require workers to do their jobs from home whenever possible. Workers can go into work only to complete the job duties they can’t complete from home. New Social Distancing Protocol requirements: All businesses must complete and submit an updated Social Distancing Protocol for each of their facilities on the County’s website at COVID19Prepared.org. The Social Distancing Protocol must be signed under penalty of perjury and will be posted on the County’s website. Businesses that operate from a facility must post an updated COVID-19 Prepared sign and Visitor Information summary sheet. Businesses that provide services at several facilities that they do not own (like cleaning services) must distribute the Protocol to the owners or operators of each location they serve. All businesses must distribute the Protocol to their workers. Capacity limitations: All businesses must comply with the same density limitations. There may be no more than one worker per 250 gross square feet of the facility, and no more than one customer or member of the public per 150 square feet of space open to the public. Exceptions apply for healthcare, education and childcare facilities. And capacity limits do not apply to children under age 12 when accompanying a parent into a business facility. Positive case reporting: All businesses (and governmental entities) are legally required to report to the Public Health Department within 4 hours if they learn that any of their workers are confirmed to be positive for COVID-19. They must also ensure workers alert them if they test positive.
Mandatory Directives: The Health Officer will issue a set of mandatory directives with rules to reduce risk in the following specific industries and activities:
Personal Services, including hair and nail salons, massage therapy, and other body care services Gyms and fitness centers Construction Recreational and athletic activities Gatherings, including for social, economic, religious, cultural, and other purposes Agriculture Hotels and motels Public transit Childcare, summer camps, and children’s activities Pools Outdoor dining Food facilities
All businesses and people in the County must follow these directives, as well as the industry-specific guidance issued by the State.
Some business facilities remain closed: Business facilities that pose a high risk of COVID-19 transmission or large outbreaks must stay closed to the public. These include any indoor facility used for activities where face masks are removed (including indoor dining and bars, indoor swimming pools, saunas, heated exercise rooms, and smoking lounges), nightclubs, theaters, stadiums, arenas, music venues, indoor playgrounds and amusement centers, and non-residential adult and elder daycare facilities.
If very large pore masks are effective against the CV2 virus, why do any other moderation efforts?
CA has gone full CCP.
Hoist the red flag and be done with it. /s
Nothing about closing clean rooms and wafer fabs?
Why is it that I, someone who travels to NYC a dozen times a month on NJT/MTA — to Jamaca/Queens no less — someone who knows thousands of people through facebook — and hundreds through family, do not know a single person who has had more than a cough due to this wuflu?
There was one old guy, a father in law I’ve never met of a first cousin I haven’t seen in ten years... He was already bedridden in a care facility...
I feel like Rowdy Roddy Piper in “They Live”. What do you all look like under those masks?
imho there is likely to be an unwritten exemption for BLM, Antifa, and Soros funded organziations, as well as other bussed in paid mercenary agitators (crisis actors, etc) from sacto and out of state anarchist enclaves.
Just as Kalifornia performs ‘Ballot Harvesting’ to obtain their preferred election result, they will perform ‘Covid Result Harvesting’ (Deaths & Infections) to keep businesses, people, everything tamped down, until everyone has their ‘mind right’, that all of this could have been avoided if only the ‘right people’ had been allowed to count the Nationwide Votes. All the ‘unharvested’ votes that could have gone for Billary were wasted because the ‘wrong people’ counted the votes. No one will challenge the Kalifornia Covid stats in fear of the Marxists coming to their abode.
Stay home. Don’t turn on air con, don’t flush toilet. Don’t shower. Come out after election.
Yep. Screw masks. Screw 6 ft crap. They want us SEPARATED
Pffft!
I drove around Santa Clara today
Scott ave.
Arques
Kifer
If you pull up those areas on google maps and satellite view, look at the empty parking lots.
At street level it looks just like that
It’s confusing and odd to try and comprehend
My upcoming HS reunion was rescheduled for next year due to this nonsense. It is a school in Santa Clara county, and most of the events were to take place there. The exception would be the Friday night beer bash that takes place at the Alpine Inn in Portola Valley.
I wasn’t planning to attend anyway, but still.
Haven’t been there in forever
I was there four years ago, and it seemed a bit run-down. I just looked at the website and it looks like someone is making some improvements.
