Operational Changes and COVID-19 Guidelines and Information
Please visit ReadySLO's Guidance for Safe Operations page or the state's Blueprint for a Safer Economy page for the latest information and guidance on reopening restaurants, public swimming pools and body art facilities, as well as future reopening plans for water parks.
Effective January 25, 2021:
California has a Blueprint for a Safer Economy for reducing COVID-19 in the state with revised criteria for loosening and tightening restrictions on activities. The County of San Luis Obispo is currently in the Widespread (Tier 1- Purple) county risk level of the new color-tiered framework. Please visit ReadySLO's Guidance for Safe Operations page or the Blueprint for a Safer Economy page for information on the modifications.
- Restaurants may now only provide outdoor dining with modifications. No indoor dining allowed.
- Bars, brew pubs, breweries and pubs must continue to close all operations both indoors and outdoors unless they have outdoor food service in compliance with the California Retail Food Code and alcohol sales are made in the same transaction as a meal.
- Outdoor public swimming pools are allowed to remain open with modifications. Outdoor hot tubs can open only for use by household groups or in cases where six feet of distancing can be maintained.
- All indoor public swimming pools, saunas, steam rooms and hot tubs/spa pools are required to continue to suspend operations, except for infant drowning rescue courses.
- Water parks, both indoor and outdoor, remain closed.
- Body art facilities can open indoors with modifications during any Tier. The Expanded Personal Care Services guidance document has been updated as of October 20, 2020.
