The California Department of Public Health on Friday released new guidelines for private gatherings amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The guidelines are an update on household gatherings that takes precedence over prior guidance that was issued most recently last month.
Anyone who plans to host or participate in a private gathering must comply with the following requirements:
1. Attendance
Gatherings that include more than 3 households are prohibited. This includes everyone present, including hosts and guests. Remember, the smaller the number of people, the safer. Keep the households that you interact with stable over time. By spending time with the same people, risk of transmission is reduced. Participating in multiple gatherings with different households or groups is strongly discouraged. The host should collect names of all attendees and contact information in case contact tracing is needed later.
2. Gather Outdoors
Gatherings that occur outdoors are significantly safer than indoor gatherings. All gatherings must be held outside. Attendees may go inside to use restrooms as long as the restrooms are frequently sanitized. Gatherings may occur in outdoor spaces that are covered by umbrellas, canopies, awnings, roofs, and other shade structures provided that at least three sides of the space (or 75%) are open to the outdoors.
A gathering of no more than three households is permitted in a public park or other outdoor space, even if unrelated gatherings of other groups up to three households are also occurring in the same park or other outdoor space. If multiple such gatherings are occurring, mixing between group gatherings is not allowed. Additionally, multiple gatherings of three households cannot be jointly organized or coordinated to occur in the same public park or other outdoor space at the same time – this would constitute a gathering exceeding the permitted size.
3. Don’t Attend Gatherings If You Feel Sick or You Are in a High-Risk Group
Anyone with any COVID-19-like symptoms (fever, cough, shortness of breath, chills, night sweats, sore throat, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, tiredness, muscle or body aches, headaches, confusion, or loss of sense of taste/smell), must stay home and not come into contact with anyone outside their household.
Anyone who develops COVID-19 within 48 hours after attending a gathering should notify the other attendees as soon as possible regarding the potential exposure. People at higher risk of severe illness or death from COVID-19 (such as older adults and people with chronic medical conditions) are strongly urged not to attend any gatherings.
Insanity.
Or what?
We need their permission to go inside to go to the bathroom? Are we supposed to be grateful they allow us to go to the bathroom? What the heck?
And as P.S. they would add that it’s still okay to go riot, loot, and protest...I don’t watch local news, so I don’t know if those who were out last night after Lakers won were criticized for not social distancing.
FREEDOM OF ASSEMBLY
This is clearly Thanksgiving related. Just like the SF Bay Area always used to call “spare the air” no fireplace days only on Christmas and Thanksgiving, Dems are against hearth and home and anything traditional or wholesome.
Mostly peaceful riots exempted.
I drank 4 cups of coffee this morning and had diarrhea a while later. Does that mean I have COVID?
This will go over real well at Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Too funny! So glad CA is allowing me to go inside to the bathroom. I guess without our tyrant dictator's permission, we'd otherwise have to pee outside in the bushes.
Chinese shall not mingle with Koreans. Hispanics shall not mingle with Blacks. Catholics must stay far away from Protestants. Jews and Muslims must live in different cities. This is for your own good, do it for America.
(Sarcasm tag hopefully not required)
Welcome the new brown shirt Nazis--the Demonrats.
How else are you going to train a dog?
Dear Gov’t Communists - F-off and die. I’m done with all this fear control garbage.
Its the San Francisco way...
“Guidelines” are as useless as tits on a bore hog.
Now enforce them!
Here’s a guideline for the powers that be in CA.
Go #### yourselves.
It’s a good thing that Cinco de Mayo is still six months away.
But, there is New Year’s Eve and Chinese New Year to deal with.
This GrusomNewsom is a dumbass clown.
TMI, Rb.
