Solano County Shares Gathering Guidance From CA Dept Public Health

Press release from the City of Benicia:

October 12, 2020

"In general, the more people from different households a person interacts with at a gathering, the closer the physical interaction is, and the longer the interaction lasts, the higher the risk that a person with a COVID-19 infection, symptomatic or asymptomatic, may spread it to others. Public health studies have also shown that the risk of transmission is increased in indoor spaces, particularly when there isn’t appropriate ventilation. Unlike indoor spaces, wind and air in outdoor spaces can help reduce spread of the virus from one person to another."

Read the Guidance for Private Gatherings from the California Department of Public Health for more information and restrictions.
