County Issues New Shelter Order
On Monday, June 1st, Santa Clara County issued an update to the Shelter in Place order, allowing more businesses to re-open and amending construction project safety protocols. The updated order will go into effect at 12:01 am on Friday, June 5th. Below is an excerpt from the Executive Summary.
The June 5 Order allows several new categories of businesses and activities to reopen, subject to specific conditions and limitations. It also keeps key restrictions in place, requiring people to stay in their homes except when engaging in certain essential or allowed activities.
Additional Businesses:
- Outdoor dining at restaurants and other facilities that prepare and serve food, subject to limitations/social distancing
- Retail and shopping centers for in-store shopping, subject to limitations/social distancing
- Childcare, summer camps, summer school, and all other educational or recreational programs for all children, in stable groups of up to 12 children
- All manufacturing, warehousing, and logistics, subject to limitations/social distancing
- House cleaning and other no-contact in-home services
- Low contact/no contact service businesses such as shoe repair, watch repair, and other similar services, subject to limitations/social distancing

- All outdoor recreational activities that do not involve physical contact, with social distancing, including swimming pools, hiking, tennis, golf, etc.
- Camping, subject to limitations/social distancing

Social Distancing Protocol:
There are no changes to the Social Distancing Protocol. As a reminder:
All businesses must print and post in a prominent place near the entrance to the businesses:
- a COVID-19 PREPARED Sign
- a Social Distancing Protocol Visitor Information Sheet.
- Signage educating customers about health and safety requirements
Changes in Construction Project Safety Protocols:
- The threshold for an essential infrastructure project subject to the Large Construction Project Safety Protocol has changed from five workers to 20 workers. All essential infrastructure projects with less than 20 workers present at the jobsite at any one time are now subject to the Small Construction Project Safety Protocol in Appendix B-1
- Appendix B-1 now specifies that specified steps must be taken if a worker at a construction site tests positive for COVID-19, and both appendices now state that COVID-19 cases associated with construction must be immediately reported to the County Public Health Department by both telephone and by email.
