Oakland Outdoor Restaurants Can Open on June 19th
Thank you KPIX5 for letting us know that Alameda County (which includes Oakland) will reopen outdoor dining, houses Of worship, and indoor retail on June 19.
Alameda County released a statement last Friday to allow more activities under its Health Officer Orders this Friday, which will move the county further along its path to reopening the economy.
As of June 19, 2020, the Health Officer Orders will relax restrictions by reopening outdoor museums, outdoor restaurant dining, religious services, indoor/outdoor retail, and outdoor fitness classes with limited capacity.
Additional local guidance to supplement that state guidance will be available early next week at the Alameda County Public Health website and restaurants will be expected to work with the Alameda County Department of Environmental Health and their respective cities on their outdoor operation plans.
Limited religious services will be permitted to resume for up to 100 people or less than 25 percent building capacity, whichever is lower.
“We’re balancing the economic and spiritual health of our community with public health,” said District 4 Supervisor Nate Miley. “These openings, including the services industries, may disproportionately affect our already burdened communities of color, and we will need to be mindful of protecting everyone’s health while we’re out and about.”
SF Eater also posted on their website and tweeted that Restaurants in Oakland, Alameda, and beyond will be allowed to open for outdoor dining this Friday.
