The County’s plan to move into Stage Two has been approved by the State of California. Certain businesses with adaptations, such as in-person dining reservations and retail shopping with social distancing and curbside pickup, will be allowed to re-open effective immediately.

- In-person dining reservations
- Retail shopping with social distancing and curbside pickup

The OC Health Care Agency (HCA) encourages business owners and operators review the State’s guidance and do the following:
- Find the guidance that is most relevant to their respective industries.
- Prepare a plan after reading.
- Put the plan into action.
- Once completed, post the industry-specific checklist in their workplaces.
Before businesses who meet the Stage Two criteria take the step to re-open, the HCA strongly recommends they perform the following steps:
- Perform a detailed risk assessment and implement a site-specific protection plan.
- Train employees on how to limit the spread of COVID-19, including how to screen themselves for symptoms and stay home if they have them.
- Implement individual control measures and screenings.
