Indoor activities across California must be reined in as the state combats a resurgence of virus. The state ordered all 58 counties to close indoor activities at restaurants, wineries, movie theaters, zoos, museums, card rooms and all bars. Each county on the state’s coronavirus monitoring list for three consecutive days — including Contra Costa, Marin, Monterey, Napa, Solano and Sonoma counties — must also close gyms, places of worship, offices in non-critical sectors, hair and nail salons and indoor malls in addition to the statewide closure.
Santa Clara County is opening three additional Covid-19 diagnostic testing centers next week in San Jose at Independence High School C Commons at 617 N. Jackson Ave., the County of Santa Clara Service Center Auditorium at 1555 Berger Road and in Gilroy at the South County Annex at 9300 Wren Ave. The walk-up testing sites are free, easy nasal swab tests that do not require an appointment, symptoms, insurance, or doctors note and will be administered regardless of immigration status.
Alameda County may soon subject to the more stringent state orders as early as Wednesday — the county was added to the watchlist Sunday.
