"The State of California has established a Resilience Roadmap with four stages: State Resilience Roadmap. The State determines, based on various public health criteria, when and how each county may reopen. On June 16, 2020, the State approved San Mateo County’s attestation, which allows San Mateo County to move with the State as it allows additional activities and businesses.
Accordingly, the Health Officer of San Mateo County issued a new Safer Community Order on June 17, 2020, that is effective at 12:01 am on June 18, 2020. The Order is here: English, Spanish, Chinese, Tagalog. The new Order supersedes and replaces the prior Shelter in Place Order and is in full alignment with the State’s Order as of the time it was issued. This Order is in effect until it is extended, rescinded, superseded or amended in writing by the Health Officer.
All businesses approved for re-opening by the State are permitted to reopen at this time, subject to all State requirements. If you have a question about what is open and what is allowed, you should begin by reviewing the State’s answers to Frequently Asked Questions, which can be found here: State FAQ."

This Order is intended to fully harmonize the County with the State as to the activities and businesses allowed. Businesses now permitted are: Dine-In Restaurants, Hair Salons, Barbershops, Nail Salons, Waxing Services, Tattoo Parlors, Casinos, Cardrooms, Movie Theaters and Entertainment Centers, Zoos and Museums.

Businesses visited by the public must “prepare, post, implement, and distribute to their personnel a written health and safety plan that addresses how it will comply with all applicable Statewide guidance issued by the State of California. If it is a service business that operates at customer homes, it must instead of posting at the home, send an electronic version of the plan to the customer at least one day in advance of the service being provided. In addition, businesses must post any additional placards or other content as directed by San Mateo County Health click here to read. Statewide guidance can be found by clicking here. If the State provides a “checklist”, the “checklist”may serve as the framework for the required plan.”
Businesses must still practice social distancing protocols as outlined by the state.
That includes limiting the number of people who can enter into the facility at any one time to ensure that people in the facility can easily maintain a minimum six-foot distance from one another at all times—for clarity this limitation does not require social distancing where it would make performing business functions impossible (e.g., while a barber is cutting hair); Requiring face coverings to be worn by all persons entering the facility, other than those exempted from face covering requirements (e.g. young children) or as necessarily required by the businesses operation (e.g., while eating); Where lines may form at a facility, marking six-foot increments at a minimum, establishing where individuals should stand to maintain adequate social distancing; Providing hand sanitizer, soap and water, or effective disinfectant at or near the entrance of the facility and in other appropriate areas for use by the public and personnel, and in locations where there is high-frequency employee interaction with members of the public (e.g. cashiers); Providing for contactless payment systems or, if not feasible to do so, the providing for disinfecting all payment portals, pens, and styluses after each use; Regularly disinfecting other high-touch surfaces; Posting a sign at the entrance of the facility informing all personnel and customers that they should: avoid entering the facility if they have any COVID-19 symptoms; maintain a minimum six-foot distance from one another; sneeze and cough into one’s elbow; and not shake hands or engage in any unnecessary physical contact.
