Gov. Gavin Newsom closed California again on Monday due to a spike in coronavirus cases across the state. All indoor dining was halted and all bars, family entertainment, zoos and museums were closed.
This is the press release from the state:
Today, Governor Newsom and the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) announced additional statewide closures that impact Nevada County business operations:
- CDPH has announced a statewide closure (including Nevada County) of the following operations:
- Dine-in Restaurants (indoor closed; to-go, delivery, curbside and outdoor seating with distancing allowed)
- Wineries and Tasting Rooms (indoor closed; outdoor seating with distancing allowed)
- Movie Theater (indoor closed)
- Family Entertainment Centers (indoor closed)
- Zoos and Museums (indoor closed)
- Cardrooms (indoor closed)
- Brewpubs, breweries, bars, and pubs (indoor and outdoor closed unless an exception below applies):
- Bars, pubs, brewpubs, and breweries, may operate outdoors if they are offering sit-down, outdoor, dine-in meals. Alcohol can be sold only in the same transaction as a meal. When operating outdoors, they must follow the dine-in restaurant guidance and should continue to encourage takeout and delivery service whenever possible.
- Bars, pubs, brewpubs, and breweries that do not provide sit-down meals themselves, but can contract with another vendor to do so, can serve dine-in meals when operating outdoors provided both businesses follow the dine-in restaurant guidance and alcohol is sold only in the same transaction as a meal.
- Venues that are currently authorized to provide off sale beer, wine, and spirits to be consumed off premises and do not offer sit-down, dine-in meals must follow the guidance for retail operations and offer curbside sales only.
- Concert, performance, or entertainment venues must remain closed until they are allowed to resume modified or full operation through a specific reopening order or guidance. Establishments that serve full meals must discontinue this type of entertainment until these types of activities are allowed to resume modified or full operation.
- Nevada County will be hosting a workshop for restaurants, wineries and breweries this Thursday, July 16th, at 3:30pm. Register for the workshop at: https://zoom.us/meeting/register/tJwldu2rqzwpH9JZUHdpOH3Cvy-nDmyDkX9T.
- Nevada County is not currently on the State’s County Monitoring List, though many neighboring counties are, including Placer, Sutter, Yuba, and Sacramento counties. Should Nevada County end up on that list for three consecutive days, additional closures of indoor operations will be mandated. Outdoor operations, however, may be conducted if a business can do so while still taking all infection control measures and while wearing face coverings. Those additional closures of indoor operations include the following:
- Gyms and Fitness Centers
- Places of Worship
- Indoor Protests
- Offices for Non-Critical Infrastructure Sectors as identified at covid19.ca.gov
- Personal Care Services (including nail salons, massage parlors, and tattoo parlors)
- Hair Salons and Barbershops
- Malls
