San Mateo County Business and Worship Restrictions Reopened

The state of California announced that indoor restaurants, gyms, movie theaters and places of worship can now open with restrictions in San Mateo County.

The county, effective immediately, moves to the second (red) stage of the state's four-tiered, color-coded reopening system.

Still, the county's new risk level is considered "substantial" under the state's monitoring system, and officials caution businesses and individuals to follow health and safety guidelines. San Mateo County's health order requiring mouth covers, social distancing and limited gatherings remains in effect.

What this means is that you, the residents of San Mateo County, have made great sacrifices to help stop the spread of COVID-19," said County Administrator Mike Callagy. It's a time to celebrate these unprecedented times. But this is something we should all be happy about now that so many of our businesses can reopen and so many of you can go back to work.

This is great news for so many small business owners who have worked so hard to keep their businesses going," said Warren Slocum, chairman of the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors.

"What each and every one of us can do is commit to supporting our local businesses," said Slocum. "Let's stay safe, stay healthy and help ensure our small businesses are with us today, tomorrow and into the future."

Moving to level 2 (red) allows:

Indoor restaurants (maximum capacity 25% or 100 persons, whichever is less);

All indoor retail (50% maximum capacity);

Shopping malls, indoor swap meets (maximum 50% capacity, enclosed common areas);

Personal care services: hairdressers and nail salons, hairdressing salons (open with modifications);

Museums, zoos and aquariums (maximum 25% capacity);

Places of worship (maximum capacity of 25% or 100 persons, whichever is less);

Cinemas at the gates (maximum 25% capacity or 100 people, whichever is less);

Indoor gyms and fitness centers (maximum 10% capacity).

Companies that are allowed to reopen or expand their operations must follow industry-specific health and safety guidelines, as well as abide by coverage and social distancing requirements.

Under the tiered system, bars, breweries and distilleries will remain closed.
