New Business Restrictions in Place December 8 (Tuesday - not December 9), 2020 at 12:00 p.m.

Effective Tuesday, December 8 at 12 p.m. a new Risk Reduction Order will be in effect for Marin County. We will forward the link to the order when it is posted on the County web site. In the meantime, please see this Marin Status Update and refer to Marin Recovers for more information on specific businesses.

The County indicates they are seeing a surge of cases and hospitalizations across the Bay Area and State of California. Without immediate action many hospital Intensive Care Units (ICU) will reach capacity before the end of the year. ICU beds are a critical resource for individuals who need the most advanced support and care. Given the nationwide surge, the ability to add surge ICU capacity is limited by availability of ICU nurses and physicians. We need to protect our hospital capacity so those who need care—for such things as cancer treatment, heart attacks, and strokes—can get it. By taking this action we are saving lives, protecting our health care delivery system, and keeping those at highest risk and essential workers safe.

Beginning at noon Tuesday, December 8, the following sectors in Marin County must close:  

• Indoor and outdoor playgrounds 
• Indoor recreational facilities 
• Hair salons and barbershops 
• Personal care services  
• Museums, zoos, and aquariums
