On August 2, 2021, Marin County joined Alameda, Contra Costa, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Sonoma, and the City of Berkeley in issuing Health Orders requiring masks indoors by all people -- vaccinated or unvaccinated -- out of an abundance of caution due to a rising number of COVID-19 cases. This Order requires all individuals to wear face coverings when indoors in workplaces and public settings, with limited exemptions, and recommends that businesses make face coverings available to individuals entering the business.
All businesses both indoor and outdoor can be open without capacity limitations or physical distancing requirements, with the exception of certain restrictions related to mega events. Please also review the latest face covering guidance as well.
Positive cases still need to be reported to Marin County at COVID-19commerce@marincounty.org. If vaccinated people are exposed to a positive case, they do not need to quarantine, they just need to monitor for symptoms.
If unvaccinated people are exposed to a positive case, they still need to quarantine for 10 days or they can test after day 5 and if test is negative on day 7, they can end quarantine and watch for symptoms.
The US Small Business Administration has compiled a list of resources to help small businesses facing financial challenges due to COVID-19.
The County of Marin has a comprehensive list of support, including unemployment filing instructions.
We understand the devastating economic impacts of COVID-19 on our community.
