Description of Program and Relief
Guidance for Reopening Businesses
Governor Brown has announced guidance for certain businesses to reopen in the state, if there are no countervailing city or county restrictions, based on a phased plan. Each county must apply and be approved to enter each phase of reopening (Phases 1-3). A list of counties and their application status can be found here. If a county does not meet the thresholds to enter Phase 1 on May 15, 2020, a “Baseline” reopening plan will apply. Businesses that will reopen in each phase are the following:
Baseline:
- Beginning May 15, 2020, the Governor’s Office has announced that all counties not entering a Phase 1 reopening will enter a Baseline reopening, which includes grocery stores, pharmacies, banks and gas stations, restaurant take out service, standalone retail operations, non-emergency medical and dental care, and other specified business. A full list of the Baseline guidelines may be found here.
Phase 1:
- Counties approved to enter Phase 1 may reopen restaurants and bars, personal care services like salons and barber shops, and gyms and fitness centers on a limited basis, so long as such business comply with safety guidelines. A detailed list and the safety guidelines may be found here.
Phase 2:
-
After 21 days in Phase 1, a county may allow offices to optionally reopen, and may allow larger gatherings of up to 100 people with social distancing. The guidelines of this phase are tentative and subject to change.
Phase 3:
-
Phase 3, which includes concerts, conventions, festivals and live-audience sports, will not begin until a reliable treatment or prevention is available.
Businesses should check for any additional city or county restrictions before opening.
