Limited Stay at Home Order

“In light of an unprecedented, rapid rise in COVID-19 cases across California, Governor Gavin Newsom and the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) today announced a limited Stay at Home Order requiring generally that non-essential work, movement and gatherings stop between 10 PM and 5 AM in counties in the purple tier. The order will take effect at 10 PM Saturday, November 21 and remain in effect until 5 AM December 21. This is the same as the March Stay at Home Order, but applied only between 10 PM and 5 AM and only in purple tier counties that are seeing the highest rates of positive cases and hospitalizations.”

Your business makes our community a richer, more diverse, and more inviting place to live, work and raise a family. Thank you for your perseverance in overcoming the challenges presented by COVID-19. While the challenges we have faced have been unprecedented, we are making progress. Infections rates are declining, and as a consequence, Governor Newsom is loosening restrictions and restoring individual freedoms.

Community Update

A lot has gone on since our last economic development update. For many, keeping up with the latest infection rates and current restrictions has been challenging. To simplify the process, on August 28th Governor Newsom revealed the State's latest reopening guidelines. With this new plan, two county-level COVID-19 testing variables will serve as the basis for business and personal restrictions. The first variable is the number of daily new COVID cases per 100,000 residents. The second variable is the number of positive COVID test results, as a percentage, out of all COVID test results within that particular county. Depending on the number of (i) daily new cases and (ii) the overall percentage of positive COVID test results in each county, that county will be placed in one of four "county risk levels."
