More Indoor Operations Allowed In Santa Clara County

Press release from the City of Cupertino:

September 9, 2020

Santa Clara County is at the Red Risk Level under the State’s new COVID-19 reopening framework. That means certain activities can resume, and certain businesses can reopen indoor operations at reduced capacity. However, some indoor businesses and activities are still too high risk to allow at this time, and the local order and directives ensure that people who live in the county are protected from these risks.

The following businesses and activities are now allowed to resume under the State’s framework as well as the County’s Risk Reduction Order. Businesses and activities must be in compliance with all industry-specific mandatory directives set forth by the County and State, including having a Social Distancing Protocol on file and displayed.

• Schools: K-12 schools can open after the County has been in the Red Tier for 14 days. All schools must follow mandatory guidance set by the County of Santa Clara and the State of California
• Personal care services: allowed to open indoors with modifications
• Museums, zoos, aquariums: allowed to open indoors at 25% capacity
• Gyms and fitness centers: allowed to open indoors at 10% capacity
• Shopping malls: allowed to open indoors at 50% capacity (previously open at 25% capacity)
