Hey all,
Directly quoting yesterday's Alameda County Public Health Dept's Coronavirus
Disease (COVID-19) Situation Update at
http://acphd.org/2019-ncov.aspx :
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On March 31, Alameda County joined six neighboring health jurisdictions
to extend through May 3, 2020, our jointly issued Shelter in Place Order to
reduce the spread of COVID-19.
While the prior Shelter Order has been effective in slowing the rate of
transmission of COVID-19 (“flattening the curve”), it is not enough.
Given the continued increase in cases—more than eightfold since the
Order was first issued on March 15th—the Bay Area Health Officers have
determined that stricter social distancing is needed for a longer period of time.
The goal remains to slow the rate of spread, prevent deaths, and stop the
health care system from becoming overwhelmed. This Order is in effect
until 11:59 PM on May 3, 2020, alongside the open-ended Stay at Home
Order issued by Governor Newsom on March 19th; where more restrictive,
our local order prevails.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

be happening at Cafe Blue Door (or probably anywhere else) this month.
Hope that everyone stay safe.
