The following activities are permitted with safety modifications including required mask wearing and distancing:

• Indoor and outdoor playgrounds – Updated.
• Retail stores and shopping centers (at 20% occupancy)
• Restaurants for take-out and delivery only.
• Parks and trails.
• Outdoor gyms.
• Libraries (at 20% occupancy).
• Schools and childcare.
• Standalone grocery stores (at 35% occupancy) – Updated.
• Critical infrastructure.
• Non-urgent medical and dental care.

All government and critical infrastructure sectors are open as are all healthcare facilities and services operating under strict infection control requirements.

Sport teams

While youth sport teams are permitted to hold conditioning and skill building for team members during the stay at home orders, any team activities involving more than individual training, conditioning or skill building must be cancelled.

• As a reminder, sport teams are only allowed to include activities that involve no contact, little or no sharing of equipment, players/coaches are always able to remain at least 6 ft. apart from others, and everyone wears a mask. Practices and games are absolutely prohibited at this time.

Everyone in California must adhere to State Health Officer Orders. Counties may be more restrictive than State mandates, but not less restrictive.
