County health officials Friday announced a new revised public health order that will allow place of worship and in-store retail to resume operations with restrictions.
The new order goes into effect on June 1 and aligns with the state guidelines on allowing businesses and institutions to reopen.
Places of worship should mark six-foot increments to indicate tothe public where they should stand, and aisles should be designed as one-way movement so the public can practice social distancing.
Retail stores should provide curbside or storefront if possible and limit the number of customers inside at any given time to allow customers and employees to practice social distancing.
Dr. Scott Marrow, the county’s public health officer, said in a statement:
“These modifications seek to increase the immunity of the population slowly and methodically, while minimizing death. We are trying to keep equity in mind and minimizing economic damage, while not overloading the health care system.”

In a statement addressing residents of the county, the sheriff said he has heard concerns from residents on the public health order and the “inconsistencies” with neighboring counties and the state’s a guidelines:
“I have consistently heard the message that Sonoma County’s Public Health Orders are far more restrictive than the Governor’s Order’s despite the fact that our Covid-19 infection rate is low compared to other counties.”
The sheriff said the county has had a declining rate of new cases and has only has so far reported four deaths. He added that the public health orders have restricted on freedoms that residents are not used to.
In another update on Friday on Facebook, the sheriff’s office said Essick met with members of Sonoma County’s Board of Supervisors and public health officers. The post said the meeting was “positive” and “productive” in addressing the sheriff’s concerns.
