Thanks to SF Gate for letting us know that Napa County has now officially instituted a fine of up to $500 for people who violate public health orders.

Napa County released the Urgency Enforcement Ordinance on July 20, which states that people who violate a Public Health Order such has hosting large gatherings, or going outside in public without a face mask can be fined anywhere between $25 to $500.

Businesses that fail to enforce the mask and social distancing rules can be fined up to $5,000.

Employees who work in the county’s code enforcement office will be enforcing the ordinance, not  police or sheriff’s deputies.
