Most San Diegans have followed the recommendations in the Health Officer Order, allowing for the local economy to steadily reopen in sync with the state.
While some businesses have been allowed to reopen and recreational activities are occurring with some restrictions, there is one rule that remains in place: gatherings are still prohibited.
“Stage Two does not allow gatherings,” said Wilma Wooten, M.D., M.P.H., County public health officer. “If people get together and they are not members of the same household, they are putting people at risk.”
County officials continue to ask San Diegans to be patient and to follow the local health officer recommendations to prevent the spread COVID-19.
By continuing to practice physical distancing and using face coverings in public, San Diegans will greatly contribute to the continued reopening of the region’s economy.
