Updated Shelter In Place Order

As mentioned in Monday’s email, the Shelter in Place Order has been extended until May 31. Today, the text of the Order was released, providing details on some lifting of previous restrictions. All construction activities, certain businesses that operate primarily outdoors, and some outdoor activities will be allowed to resume with specific conditions. The Order provides information on safety protocols which must be put in place in order for these operations to resume.

A summary of the Order, which mirrors other Orders announced in counties throughout the Bay Area, can be found here. This Order goes into effect on May 4.
