What about the Bay Area?
Outdoor dining service has already been reintroduced in all Bay Area counties — and will be returning to San Francisco starting June 12 — with the exception of Alameda County.
Dine-in restaurant service has already returned to several Bay Area counties including Sonoma, Napa and Solano, and more counties are actively planning for it (San Francisco, for example, says indoor dining will be available starting July 13.)
Check where your county stands here.
Movie Theaters
Movie theaters in California can begin opening later this week if they limit theater capacity to 25% or no more than 100 attendees. State guidance released Monday recommends movie theaters implement reservation systems, designate arrival times and assign certain seats that people can use so that moviegoers can maintain 6 feet of distance from other groups. Patrons should, at a minimum, wear face coverings when entering and exiting the theater or buying concessions.
What about the Bay Area?
We're not seeing any counties with active plans to reopen their indoor movie theaters… yet. That said, a few drive-in movie theaters have reopened in the Bay Area.
Schools
While the new guidance for California's public schools technically starts June 12, most will reopen with the new school year. The recent statewide guidance included a glimpse from California’s education chief into what 6.2 million California students can expect when they return to school, including temperature checks upon entering schools and buses, extensive hand washing throughout the day, physical distancing requirements and face coverings for students and staff at all times except when eating and drinking.
What about the Bay Area?
The region's public schools remain closed, and will reopen along with most of California’s in the fall. Schools in Napa County were actually permitted to reopen June 1 subject to rules and modifications – but the county opted to continue to suspend teaching through the end of the school year.
Museums
California had OK'd the reopening of outdoor museums back in May, but the latest order now clears the state's indoor museums for reopening — guidance which includes galleries, botanical gardens, zoos and aquariums. It doesn't apply to amusement, theme, or water parks, which must remain closed. The advice issued emphasizes facilitating social distancing and one-way movement through exhibits, and cleaning protocols for shared areas.
What about the Bay Area?
Solano County says its indoor museums can reopen per the state's updated guidelines, and Contra Costa County projects July 1 for their return. San Francisco is grouping indoor museums with bars and gyms for its projected "mid-August" reopening phase, and Alameda County says these establishments are at least two phases of reopening away according to current plans. In short: stay tuned, art lovers.
A Final Reminder
Remember: certain businesses and activities remain firmly off California’s list for imminent reopening, including live theater, saunas and steam rooms, nightclubs, concert venues, festivals and theme parks. This means it’ll definitely be more time before you see those open back up in the Bay Area, even if Gov. Gavin Newsom and the California Department of Public Health decide to to move forward with them.
Regardless of what state officials announce, whether you can finally return to your gym, hair salon or beloved bar in the future is almost entirely dependent on what your particular county decides. How far a county can “reopen” depends on whether they meet certain metrics, including number of cases, positive test rates and testing and tracing capabilities. We're tracking what's reopening around the Bay Area here, but if in doubt, check your county's reopening plans directly below:
