California is monitoring COVID-19 closely in each local community and keeping the public informed. We’re teaming up with counties to fight it with every tool we have current local data, testing, contact tracing, infection control, emergency supplies, containment measures, and more.
Counties should be ready to restore limitations if outbreaks increase. The State Public Health Officer may take action if needed.
Effective July 13, 2020, ALL counties must close indoor operations in these sectors:
- Dine-in restaurants
- Wineries and tasting rooms
- Movie theaters
- Family entertainment centers (for example: bowling alleys, miniature golf, batting cages and arcades)
- Zoos and museums
- Cardrooms
Additionally, bars, brewpubs, breweries, and pubs must close all operations both indoor and outdoor statewide.
Counties that have remained on the County Monitoring List for 3 consecutive days will be required to shut down the following industries unless they can be modified to operate outside or by pick-up.
- Fitness centers
- Worship services
- Protests
- Offices for non-essential sectors
- Personal care services, like nail salons, body waxing and tattoo parlors
- Hair salons and barbershops
- Malls

What Are We Cheering For?
Every holiday, every weekend, every so-called American ritual came with a side of football. The game would be on, and we were supposed to care. I didn’t. Not really. Not until I almost did. For a brief stretch, when my dad worked with the Clippers during the Lob City era, I started to believe. Chris Paul, Blake Griffin, DeAndre Jordan — it felt like swagger, like culture, like something to belong to. Then the trades came, the team got gutted, and the curtain dropped. It wasn’t family. It wasn’t culture. It was business. That moment stuck. The more I watched, the more the wires showed: how ritual gets packaged, sold, and weaponized. How meaning becomes merchandise. How attention becomes empire.

Cary Harrison Explains The Truth Behind The Mar-a-Lago Raid
What would George Washington say? Secretly flying 35 filing cabinet drawers-worth of Pentagon secrets to your private hotel for favor-swaps was the straw to make all Presidents now raidable. Will this affect a future Trump 2024 run? What about Hunter and Hillary?
