Pasadena’s Health Officer Saturday issued a revised Safer At Home Order, in line with the next steps in California’s phased re-opening plan.
Dr. Ying-Ying Goh, the city’s Health Officer, will allow for the following sectors to re-open once they implement the required protocols for infection control and distancing:
— gyms and fitness facilities
— pro-league arenas without live audiences
— day camps
— museums and galleries
— music, film and television production
— hotels, motels and short-term rentals for leisure travel
Employees and visitors to these businesses will need to wear a cloth face covering when around other people and practice physical distancing of at least 6 feet at all times. It is important for everyone to follow the directives and to do their part every day to reduce the spread of COVID-19, officials said.
“This step forward does not mean the threat of COVID-19 is gone. Residents must continue to practice physical distancing, wear cloth face coverings, and follow all other public health guidelines in place,” according to a news statement.
“If at any time the City’s rate of infection and other key metrics demonstrate a rapid acceleration of new cases that threatens to overwhelm the healthcare system, future re-openings may be limited or reopened sectors may be closed.”
