From the Humboldt County Joint Information Center:
The Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office and the Joint Information Center are further clarifying business operations allowed under the updated Order of the Health Officer issued on March 30, 2020.
The following list specifies the types of businesses and industries that can continue to provide services and those that must cease operations per the current order. This order will remain in effect until rescinded.
Allowable businesses are expected to adhere to social distancing requirements laid out in the order. This is part of a continued effort to decrease transmission of COVID-19 among Humboldt County residents.
For the most recent guidance on COVID-19, visit cdc.gov or cdph.ca.gov. Local information is available at humboldtgov.org. English and Spanish speakers are also available to answer questions Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Call 707-441-5000 or email COVIDlnfo@co.humboldt.ca.us for more information.
UPDATE, 12:25 p.m.: … and the JIC would like to clarify that …
The Humboldt County Allowable Services List is a supplement to the Order of the Health Officer issued on March 30, 2020. This list defines businesses that are not specifically referenced in the order as a means to provide further clarity. This list does not replace the order or change allowable businesses as defined in the order. Not all industries are included in this list, as they are specifically referenced in the order. If your business is not included in this list, please see the Order of the Health Officer.
