On Friday evening May 8th, the county Board of Supervisors voted to rescind and amend a series of local public health orders to better align with Governor Newsom’s statewide orders. Within the agreed upon rescissions was the move to make protective face masks and social distancing a personal choice. The Supervisors issued a warning that they ‘strongly recommend’ that the public continue wearing masks and practice social distancing in public areas. Those businesses that are allowed to be open, will also choose whether they require these protective measures in their stores with the knowledge that they assume their own risks in their decisions.
