Labor Day Safety is Key to ReopeningIn order to be able to reopen SLO County businesses and schools, we need less than 20 new cases per week for two weeks. We've seen spikes in case counts after holiday weekends. To that end, SLO Co Public Health asks residents visiting beaches and campgrounds this Labor Day weekend to stay six feet apart, wash hands thoroughly and wear face coverings to prevent a spike in cases.

Blueprint for a Safe ReopeningCalifornia has created a new blueprint for reducing COVID-19 in the state with revised criteria for loosening and tightening restrictions on activities. Activities and businesses that have a lower risk of spreading COVID-19 are allowed to open sooner. Higher-risk activities or businesses aren’t allowed until later tiers. An activity or business’s tier depends on whether it can: - Accommodate mask wearing at all times (for example, eating and drinking requires removing masks)
- Allow physical distance between individuals from different households
- Limit the number of people per square foot
- Limit time that an individual is at the business or activity
- Limit time of exposure
- Limit mixing of people from different households
- Limit amount of physical interactions of visitors/patrons
- Increase airflow (such as operating outdoors or opening windows and doors)
- Limit activities that are known to increase virus spread (like singing, shouting and heavy breathing)

Understanding Our Reopening StatusEvery county in California is assigned to a tier based on its test positivity and adjusted case rate. At a minimum, counties must remain in a tier for at least 3 weeks before moving forward. Data is reviewed weekly and tiers are updated on Tuesdays. To move forward, a county must meet the next tier’s criteria for two consecutive weeks. If a county’s metrics worsen for two consecutive weeks, it will be assigned a more restrictive tier. Public health officials are constantly monitoring data and can step in if necessary. Learn more about tier assignments and metric details here.

Efforts to keep the local economy afloat have resulted in a business community committed, for the most part, to adherence to infection control measures. Efforts to address concerns by the general public have been less consistent and effective. The Mayor has formed a Community COVID-19 Coalition be to engage local residents in efforts in community education, outreach , and assistance efforts as they pertain to the coronavirus crisis.
