HO Order c19-11 Appendix A: Social Distancing Protocol (Revised)
Revised to remove language about not permitting individuals to bring reusable items from home into stores. The removal of the language means that county residents are now able bring any kind of reusable item into a store, including shopping bags and coffee cups, though stores may adopt their own stricter policies prohibiting such items if they wish.
San Mateo County Health Officer Dr. Scott Morrow has issued updated orders for individuals who are close contacts of a positive case (for quarantine) or who have tested positive for COVID-19 (for isolation), along with instructions for home quarantine and home isolation.
