The Napa County Office of Emergency Services has released the following today regarding amending the current Shelter At Home Order:

The amended Shelter-At-Home Order requires continued compliance with the orders issued on March 20, 2020 and amended on April 3, 2020. Today’s order includes the following revisions in addition to the strong recommendation of face covering:

  • Permits all construction with proper physical distancing protocols.

  • Permits drive-in religious services with proper physical distancing protocols.

  • Permits In-Person real estate agent-client residential viewings with proper protocols.

  • Permits landscaping and gardening maintenance that is not purely for cosmetic purposes

  • Allows the use of golf courses and driving ranges with documented protocols that are outlined Appendix C of the revised order.

  • Restricts bocce ball and cornhole sports.

  • Empowers the police chiefs and city attorneys to ensure compliance of all aspects of this order within their jurisdiction.

The order also includes a strong recommendation that all members of the community, including essential services workers, wear face coverings when in public or in shared spaces as an additional strategy for preventing the spread of COVID-19. 

Face coverings are not a substitute for complying with shelter-at-home orders, maintaining physical distancing, and quality hand washing. Face coverings should not be worn by children aged two or younger and are not recommended for children under the age of six or for anyone that may have difficulty breathing, difficulty removing the covering from their face or when it would create a safety hazard.
