The Marin County COVID-19 Status Update is now publishing five days a week (Monday through Friday) and as needed, in order to share important news and resources in our battle against COVID-19 and to keep our economy running. We remain here for you.
Some Personal Service Businesses Can Reopen Outdoors
Marin County Public Health announced today that some personal care services can resume if offered outdoors only. This includes services like nail salons, massage therapy, esthetic services, cosmetology and skin care services.
Businesses must complete and implement a Site-Specific Protection Plan (also known as Revised Appendix A) prior to reopening. The plan should include industry specific guidance mandated by the State of California.
Indoor and outdoor services for tattooing, piercing and electrolysis must remain closed because Marin County is on the County monitoring list.
Read the full news release to find out more about personal care services that can be offered in outdoor settings.

Reporting Businesses in Violation of Public Health Orders
We know this is a challenging time. Those wishing to report a public health order violation by a business can submit their concerns online. Please include the business name, address, and as much detail as possible regarding the perceived health order violation. Photos and other documentation welcome, too. Reports will be forwarded to the appropriate governing agency for review and investigation.
Visit Marin Recovers Status list for information on business openings and guidelines and the current health order for information on face covering requirements, shelter-in-place and more. Keep in mind that the goal of the order is to educate and keep our community safe. While violations of the public health order are misdemeanors, making arrests continues to remain a measure of last resort for local law enforcement. It will only be considered after all education and voluntary compliance efforts have failed.
Be a role model and follow the order while encouraging others to do the same. If you see a business out of compliance, you can speak directly to the owner, and offer the link or a copy of the COVID-19 Site-Specific Protection Plan as well as information about the Marin Recovers website. We’re all in this together and we all need to do our part.
