Full Notification

Health officers in seven Bay Area jurisdictions (including Alameda County) are extending a previous stay-at-home order through May 3, 2020, in order to preserve critical hospital capacity across the region. 

The new stay-at-home order will supersede the previous order and go into effect at 11:59 p.m. on Tuesday, March 31.  Like the previous local order, the new order requires people to stay at home, except for doing essential activities, such as grocery shopping.  

The new order adds some clarifying language around essential business and activities, as well as some new directives, including:

•    Use of playgrounds, dog parks, public picnic areas, and similar recreational areas is prohibited.  These areas will be closed to public use.
•    Use of shared public recreational facilities such as golf courses, tennis and basketball courts, pools, and rock walls is prohibited.  These facilities will be closed for recreational use.
•    Sports requiring people to share a ball or other equipment must be limited to people in the same household
•    Most construction—residential and commercial—is prohibited.

Social distancing is the most powerful tool to slow the spread of COVID-19.
