Millbrae Governor Newsom Orders Statewide Re Closures Due To Coronavirus Spread

Press release from the City of Millbrae:

July 21, 2020

Governor Gavin Newsom has announced that the state is ordering the re-closure of many businesses due to an alarming spread of COVID-19.

Through the order, all counties must close indoor operations in these sectors:

• Dine-in restaurants
• Wineries and tasting rooms
• Movie theaters
• Family entertainment centers (for example: bowling alleys, miniature golf, batting cages and arcades)
• Zoos and museums
• Cardrooms

Additionally, bars, brewpubs, breweries, and pubs must close all operations both indoor and outdoor statewide.

While San Mateo County is NOT on the list, counties that have remained on the state’s monitoring list for three consecutive days will be required to shut down the following industries or activities unless they can be modified to operate outside:

• Fitness centers
• Worship services
• Protests
• Offices for non-essential sectors
• Personal care services, like nail salons, body waxing and tattoo parlors
• Hair salons and barbershops
• Malls

We ask people to continue to wear face coverings, stay socially distant from others when possible, and wash their hands often. These tactics have shown to slow the spread of COVID-19, and will significantly reduce your chances of contracting the disease.
