| CNews113p (OP) User ID: 78983933 India11/12/2020 07:36 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | California: Under the direction of Gov. Gavin Newsom (D), the health department has issued updated restrictions on gatherings. Only outdoor gatherings are permitted. No more than three households can attend a gathering, and the space must be big enough to allow people to practice social distancing. Previously, Newsom unveiled Blueprint for a Safer Economy, a plan that outlines coronavirus restrictions during the pandemic. Each county falls into one of four color-coded tiers: purple (where the virus is most widespread), red, orange and yellow (where the virus is minimally widespread). In the purple tier, restaurants can offer only outdoor dining and retail stores must limit capacity to 25 percent. Hair salons and barbershops can offer indoor services with restrictions. Gyms and fitness centers can open only outdoors. Many other nonessential businesses remain closed, such as nightclubs, theme parks and concert venues. Once in the red tier, restaurants can resume indoor dining at 25 percent capacity or 100 patrons, whichever is fewer. Retail stores can operate at 50 percent capacity, and museums can open indoors at 25 percent capacity. For counties in the orange tier, bars and breweries that don’t serve food are among businesses that can open for outdoor services. For counties in the yellow tier, most businesses can reopen but must still follow safety precautions. For a full list of restrictions, visit covid19.ca.gov. Newsom has ordered everyone to wear a face mask in public spaces; children under age 2 and people with certain medical disabilities are among those exempt. He also signed a bill into law that requires businesses to report COVID-19 outbreaks to local officials and any employees who may have been exposed to the virus while at work. ======== Update 11/21/2020 (original California post above here California: Under the direction of Gov.

With the new order, individuals who live in a purple tier county are prohibited from engaging in activities outside the home or gathering with others between the hours of 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. The order takes effect at 10 p.m. Nov. 21 and lasts until 5 a.m. Dec. 21.

Jared Polis announced some counties must revert to tighter restrictions following a surge in COVID-19 cases. Under the state’s safer-at-home order, counties fall into three levels. Level 3, the most restrictive, permits restaurants to operate at 25 percent capacity with a maximum of 50 people. Gyms, fitness centers and personal care businesses can operate at 25 percent capacity with a maximum of 25 people. And retail stores can operate at 25 percent capacity. Under Level 2, most businesses can bump up operations to 50 percent capacity. Gyms remain limited to 25 percent capacity, but with a new maximum of 50 people. Under Level 1, the least restrictive, businesses can continue to operate at 50 percent capacity, but with a larger maximum cap. For example, restaurants and houses of worship can seat up to 175 people indoors. Under all levels, personal gatherings of more than 10 people are prohibited. A handful of counties have moved out of the safer-at-home category to the “Protect Our Neighbors” phase, in which local authorities take more control over reopening plans. Previously, Polis extended a mask mandate through mid-November. People age 11 and older must wear a face covering in indoor public spaces or while using public transportation or ride-hailing services. Workplaces can deny service or admission to customers who aren’t wearing a face mask. An organization can request a waiver from the state for certain indoor activities if wearing a mask during an activity is not practical. ======== Update 11/21/2020 (original Colorado post above here) Colorado: Gov. Jared Polis (D) announced changes to the state’s safer-at-home and stay-at-home orders. Counties fall into one of six color-coded levels of risk, depending on the incidents of COVID-19. Level green is the least restrictive, under which businesses can operate at 50 percent capacity or 500 people, whichever is smaller. In level-blue counties, restaurants, indoor event venues and houses of worship can operate at 50 percent capacity or 175 people, whichever is smaller. In yellow counties, public and private gatherings cannot exceed 10 participants or people from more than two households. Restaurants can operate at 50 percent capacity, with a maximum of 50 people per room (the maximum might be higher for larger establishments). In orange counties, public and private gatherings cannot exceed 10 participants or people from more than two households. Restaurants can operate at 25 percent capacity, with a maximum of 50 patrons per room. In red counties, restaurants must halt indoor dining, but outdoor table service, delivery and takeout are permitted. Gatherings with members outside the household are prohibited, and indoor events are closed. Limited exceptions include gatherings at houses of worship, which can operate indoors at 25 percent capacity or 50 people (whichever is smaller). Outdoor events are limited to 25 percent capacity or 75 people (whichever is smaller). Retail stores can operate at 50 percent capacity and personal-care services at 25 percent capacity. Gyms can operate at 10 percent capacity, with a maximum of 10 people. No counties are in the most restrictive purple level. A mask mandate remains in effect. People 11 and older must wear a face covering in indoor public spaces or while using public transportation or ride-hailing services. Workplaces can deny service or admission to customers who aren’t wearing a face mask.

Gretchen Whitmer (D) the health department ordered a pause that sets new restrictions on gatherings and certain businesses, effective Nov. 18. Indoor gatherings at private residences cannot include people from more than two households. Outdoor gatherings are allowed but capped at 25 people. Restaurants, bars and other food establishments must close indoor dining. Outdoor dining, takeout and delivery are still permitted.
