COVID-19 Update: New Health Order Allows Additional Businesses & Activities to Resume Beginning June 3

Today, Contra Costa County Health Services released an updated Public Health Order, which allows residents to go back to work, shop at local retail stores, get childcare and socialize with small groups starting Wednesday, June 3.

Indoor retail shopping, business offices, outdoor museums and pet grooming are among the businesses that will reopen in Contra Costa County under the Public Health Order released today. The order also permits services that don't require close customer contact, such as housekeeping, car washes, and plumbing.

The new health order also allows small outdoor social gatherings, as well as childcare and camps for all children, not just children of essential and allowed workers. Those childcare services and camps still can only have up to 12 children in stable cohorts.

Libraries can reopen for curbside pickup, and protests of up to 100 people will also be permitted.

The County also announced in today's press release that on June 15, religious services will be able to resume, with some limitations. In the coming days, the County will also be consulting with the state about reopening swimming pools and outdoor dining.

According to the press release from Contra Costa Health Services, “Contra Costa has made significant headway in meeting its five indicators for reopening. Aside from new cases and hospitalizations not increasing, all eight hospitals have attested they now have a 30-day supply of personal protective equipment, one of the five reopening indicators. Hospitals also have sufficient capacity to handle more patients. While progress has been made in testing, the county still needs to triple the amount of tests being done to reach its goal.”
