SHELTER-IN-PLACE ORDER

Shelter-in-Place Order for Monterey County

reissued with added restrictions effective at

12:01 a.m. on May 4, 2020 and will continue to

be in effect until 11:59 p.m. on May 31, 2020,

or until it is extended, rescinded, superseded,

or amended in writing by the Health Officer.

For more information.

Monterey County Health Officer Dr. Edward Moreno today

issued a supplement to the current Shelter-in-Place Order

allowing local businesses to conduct limited re-openings as

Gov. Gavin Newsom launches Stage 2 of his Reopening

Roadmap.

Beginning Friday, May 8, 2020, local retail businesses may

begin providing curbside pick-up services to customers.

Examples of such businesses include bookstores, clothing

stores, florists, sporting goods stores and other over-the-

counter retailers. In addition, manufacturing and supply chain

workplaces supporting these businesses may open. Social

Distancing Protocols must be followed in all of these settings.

Members of the public may place orders online or via

telephone only. Retailers are not allowed to display

merchandise on sidewalks.

More information.

FACE COVERINGS To help stop the spread of COVID-19, the Monterey County

Health Officer is requiring residents to wear a face covering

when going out into the public to perform essential activities,

effective 12:01 a.m. on Thursday, April 30, 2020. Combined

with sheltering in place, social distancing, and frequent hand

hygiene, facial coverings are shown to help slow transmission

of COVID-19.

These changes reflect the serious nature of the evolving

COVID-19 pandemic and increased understanding about how

the virus spreads. We now know from recent studies that

people infected with COVID-19 can transmit the virus to

others before showing symptoms or without ever showing

symptoms.

COVID-19 is spread through respiratory droplets that are

produced when an infected person coughs, sneezes or talks.

These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of others who

are nearby. When properly worn by the user, facial coverings

have the potential to slow the spread of the virus by reducing

the release of these droplets into the air. Even a small

reduction in community transmission could make a major

difference to the demand on the healthcare system.

Businesses must take reasonable measures, such as posting

signs, to remind patrons about face coverings, and may not

serve customers who do not observe the order. Workers do

not need to wear face coverings if they are alone in a personal

office but must put them on when others are present.

MONTEREY COUNTY OPERATIONAL AREA DAILY SITUATION REPORT

10 5/19/2020 9:24 AM

The order also includes customers of public transit (including

while waiting at transit stops), rideshare services, and

passengers in private automobiles who are not members of

the same household.

The order does not require children 12 and younger to wear

face coverings or anyone who has trouble breathing or is

unconscious, incapacitated, or otherwise unable to remove

the mask without assistance. Children two years old or

younger must not wear them due to risk of suffocation.

The California Department of Public Health has these

guidelines for cloth masks/face coverings:

• Face coverings can be made from cloth, be factory-

made or hand-sewn, or improvised using bandannas,

scarves, T-shirts, sweatshirts or towels.

• The material should cover the nose and mouth.

• Ideally, face coverings should be washed after each

use. Dirty masks should be placed in a dedicated

laundry bag or bin.

• Use detergent and hot water when washing cloth

masks and dry them on a hot cycle.

• Be sure your mask is comfortable; you don’t want to

have to keep adjusting the mask because that means

touching your face.

• Wash your hands, or use hand sanitizer, before and

after touching your face or face coverings.

• If you must re-wear your cloth face covering before

washing it, wash your hands immediately after putting

it back on and avoid touching your face.

For guides on homemade face coverings, please see

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prevent-getting-

sick/diy-cloth-face-coverings.html

STATUS OF COUNTY GOVERNMENT Two months ago, everything changed and it's changing again.

Our county and the state are looking at how to safely inch our

lives closer to a kind of normalcy. This is only possible because

so many of you have stayed home and saved lives. You've

heard about how Monterey County is slowly moving into

Phase 2 recovery and reopening. There are many who want to

go faster and many who want to go more slowly. No matter

where you stand, whatever activities you decide to embark on

with the eased restrictions now in place, please do them

safely.

There is more access to low-risk activities now than in the last

two months – more things we can do and enjoy. We can walk

along the beach. Stores have curbside service. Summer camps

for kids have the 'green light' with restrictions. While all this is

good news, don’t forget what started it all. COVID-19 has not

gone away – it is still a serious threat. We each must consider

the risks to ourselves and our families when choosing to have

more interactions.

Thank you for flattening and continuing to flatten the curve of

this virus. It is working! The more we know about COVID-19 in

MONTEREY COUNTY OPERATIONAL AREA DAILY SITUATION REPORT

11 5/19/2020 9:24 AM

our community the safer we all are. If you haven’t yet,

consider getting a test at one of our area's free OptumServe

sites. More information.

STATUS OF THE STATE Californians have been staying home and saving lives since the

start of our statewide stay-at-home order issued on March 19,

2020. These efforts have allowed the state to move forward

on our roadmap for modifying the statewide order.

We are now in early Stage 2, where retail (curbside and

delivery only), related logistics and manufacturing and

essential businesses can open. The state is issuing guidance to

help these workplaces reopen safely. More Information.
