- Marin adopts the “Social Bubble” concept: The model was adopted recognizing that -- after 100 days in the Shelter In Place environment -- individuals have a strong desire to socialize in-person with neighbors, extended family and friends. A social bubble is a stable group of 12 people or less who have collectively agreed to limit their in-person social activities to only each other for at least three weeks. Individuals belong to only one social bubble at a time, except for children who may belong to a second bubble related to a childcare or camp environment. The social bubble model provides guidelines to safely reconnect while COVID-19 continues to exist in our community.

- Marin Receives State Variance to Continue Reopening Plan: On Friday, the State of California granted Marin County a variance that allows more local control over when some activities restricted by COVID-19 pandemic may resume. The variance allows Marin County to move ahead with its plan for reopening at a pace that is appropriate for local conditions. The county’s timeline could change is community health indicators worsen, such as an increase in the number of new patients hospitalized with COVID-19.
