SANTA CRUZ COUNTY RETURNS TO RED TIER Today the state updated its COVID-19 numbers, and Santa Cruz County has returned to the Red Tier (Tier 2), which brings a return to additional restrictions on County businesses. The state has developed this chart that provides a detailed explanation of what can be open and what modifications may be required. ... Sectors such as restaurants, places of worship, movie theaters and museums must decrease indoor operations from 50 percent to 25 percent of capacity. Retail establishments may continue operations at a reduced capacity of 50 percent. Please refer to sector-specific guidance here: https://covid19.ca.gov/safer-economy/ Bars, breweries and distilleries must close, and wineries must close indoor operations. Gyms and fitness centers should reduce capacity to 10 percent of normal operations, and amusement parks, family entertainment centers, nonessential offices and live-audience sports are no longer allowed. With the upcoming holidays approaching, the County has joined other Bay Area counties in issuing joint recommendations to reduce the risk of COVID-19. A further increase in case numbers could result in the County moving to the Purple Tier (Tier 1), with even further restrictions on businesses. As we learn additional information, we will continue to share it. We look forward to continuing to work with you on the City's economic recovery. Thank you, City of Scotts Valley

COVID-19 cases are on the rise in Santa Cruz County. Let's make sure we keep each other in good health this Thanksgiving by taking steps to protect one another!... Let's keep it Safe, Small, Short and Stable. If you do gather with others outside your household, the safest gathering is one that is a small, stable group that meets outdoors for a short duration and uses face coverings, distance and other safety measures. Any activity outside of your household increases chances of exposure to the virus. Be selective and space out which public activities you choose. If gathering with your small, stable group is most important, consider forgoing or delaying other activities such as a haircut or indoor dining to reduce your overall exposures. OUTSIDE IS SAFER Gather outside and follow safety guidelines The risk of COVID-19 transmission is highest in indoor spaces without enough ventilation. That’s why gathering inside is not allowed under the state’s health order. Outdoor spaces that are covered are okay, as long as 75% of the space is open to the outdoors. People may go inside to use restrooms, as long as restrooms are sanitized often and attendees only go one at a time. SMALL: Limit gatherings to no more than 3 households When people from different households are together at the same time in the same space, the risk of spreading COVID-19 goes up. That’s why gatherings of more than 3 different households are not allowed. SHORT: Limit gatherings to no more than 2 hours The longer people gather together, the higher the risk of COVID-19 spreading. That’s why gathering for longer than 2 hours is not allowed, under the state’s health order. STABLE: Do not participate in multiple gatherings with many different households. The more people come into contact with others outside their household, the higher the risk of spreading COVID-19. That’s why participating in multiple gatherings with different households is strongly discouraged. If you attend several gatherings over the holidays, keep it to the same group of people. Practice social distancing, wear a mask, wash your hands, avoid singing or shouting, and be careful about sharing food and utensils. (And don't forget your flu shot!)
