Alameda County Health Officer To Allow More Activities Beginning June 19

Press release from the City of Dublin:

June 12, 2020

Alameda County Health Officer Dr. Erica Pan plans to allow more activities, including all retail, outdoor dining, outdoor museums, outdoor fitness, and limited religious beginning on Friday, June 19, throughout Alameda County.

While pickup and delivery services are still encouraged, indoor and outdoor retail, and outdoor dining will be allowed, as long as social distancing and safety measures are in place. These align with State guidelines. Likewise, religious services will be permitted to resume for up to 100 people or 25 percent of building capacity, whichever is lower. However, religious leaders are encouraged to continue to provide virtual services and provide services outdoors.

In light of these less-restrictive orders, "employers are advised to implement COVID-19 health screenings before staff enters a facility," and employees are expected to complete a self-assessment and stay home from work if they are sick or have been exposed to COVID-19.

Residents are also encouraged to continue to practice good hygiene, especially in washing hands; wear face coverings outside the home; maintain proper social distancing; and limit contact with people outside of their Social Bubble.

COVID-19 testing will continue at the Alameda County Fairgrounds for at least the next four weeks for residents, age 10 and older, of Dublin, Livermore, and Pleasanton, from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Testing may end earlier than 1:00 p.m. if staff runs out of test kits. If that occurs, a sign will be posted at Gate 12 off of Valley Avenue. There is no cost for residents.
