All gatherings now prohibited
(April 8) The County Wednesday expanded its Health Order to prohibit gatherings of any type, effective Thursday.
The new directive means that gatherings of 10 people or less are no longer allowed in San Diego County, unless they live in the same household.
“We decided to extend the gathering restrictions because people were getting together in parks, beaches and other open spaces,” said Wilma Wooten, M.D., M.P.H., County public health officer. “People should stay at home and only go in public when doing essential activities, such as grocery shopping or going to the pharmacy.”
The revised order also expands the requirement for employees of certain businesses to wear face coverings to banks, public transportation and childcare providers that serve food.
