Gov. Gavin Newsom has outlined a four-phase process for opening California from shelter-in-place orders. The state overall is in early Stage 2, though some counties have kept more restrictive orders in place. Many counties have met state standards and submitted detailed plans for safely reopening, earning approval to move more quickly to the next phase.

How shelter-in-place orders are loosening

All Bay Area counties relaxed some restrictions and moved into limited Stage 2 reopening. Napa, Solano and Sonoma have been approved for advanced Stage 2, and are allowing dine-in eating, haircuts and indoor retail

Where Bay Area counties stand:

Alameda County

When do shelter-in-place orders expire?

May 31

Are face coverings required in public?

Yes

What is open:

• Essential businesses like health care, grocery stores, pharmacies, banks
• Restaurants for pickup or delivery
• Curbside retail
• Essential travel
• Outdoor activities like walking and biking with proper social distancing
• Construction, real estate transactions and other outdoor businesses with physical distancing requirements
• Child care and educational programs for children of people allowed to work outside their homes
• Some manufacturing
• Some outdoor facilities such as skate parks, athletic fields and golf courses
• Most state parks are open to hiking.

What is not open:

• School, nonessential in-store retail
• Bars, wineries and dine-in eating
• Use of state parks except for hiking
• Motorized access to state parks, camps and open spaces
• Public or private gatherings of any number of people occurring outside a single household
• Outdoor recreational areas and playgrounds with high-touch equipment
• Sports that require shared equipment or physical contact
• Personal services such as nail salons, tattoo parlors, gyms and fitness studios
• Entertainment and concert venues
• Indoor museums
• Community centers
• Nightclubs
• Live sports and festivals.

Officials for six Bay Area counties have established their own set of indicators they will use to help decide when to ease shelter-in-place orders (this is an evolving checklist and the criteria are subject to change). All six report they are doing well in terms of new cases, hospitalization rates and hospital capacity. Testing remains a major hurdle, with most of the counties far below their goal of 200 daily tests per 100,000 residents. Lack of staffing for contact tracing and inadequate supplies of personal protective equipment could also delay opening.

A majority of the counties outside the Bay Area have been approved for advanced Stage 2. In this phase, dine-in eating and barbershops are allowed with physical distancing and schools can reopen.
