COVID-19 Update: Contra Costa County Delays July 1 Re-Openings Due to Increased Cases

Today, Contra Costa County Health Services announced that, due to an increase in COVID-19 activity in the County, it will delay the re-opening of businesses and activities planned for July 1, including:

  • Personal services not involving the face (massage, nail salons, tattoo, body waxing, etc.)
  • Indoor dining
  • Bars (with or without food)
  • Gyms, fitness centers and personal training
  • Limited indoor leisure (arcades, billiards, bowling alleys, etc.)
  • Indoor museums
  • Hotels (for tourism and individual travel)

According to CCHS, these businesses and activities will remain closed in Contra Costa until county data indicate that the spread of the virus has slowed, as measured by at least a week of stable case numbers, hospitalizations and percent of tests that are positive. Trends will be monitored and evaluated daily.

The seven-day average number of newly identified COVID-19 cases has increased from 38 a day to 87 a day. The percentage of COVID-19 tests that came back positive has also increased from 4% to 6%.

Because many people who carry and spread the virus have no symptoms themselves, CCHS reminds residents to avoid social gatherings, observe physical distancing and wear masks or face coverings when around others.

CCHS strongly encourages everyone who lives and works in Contra Costa County to get tested, even if they have no symptoms. Tests at the drive-through site in San Ramon can be scheduled by calling 1-844-421-0804.
