Resources for Businesses During the COVID-19 Crisis
Mendocino County Enters the State’s Red Tier
Effective March 14, 2021, Mendocino County has been given the green light to enter the Red Tier according to the state’s Blueprint for a Safer Economy. With this new Red Tier, comes an ease of some COVID-19 precautions.
“I am thrilled that we can open our economy up further as a result of our dwindling COVID-19 case numbers,” said County Health Officer Dr. Andy Coren. “We have worked hard as a county to accomplish this. To those who ask me what they can do to continue to remain safe from this virus, I say this: Please get vaccinated for COVID-19 when it is your turn. Do not turn down a vaccine unless for medical reason. Continue to avoid large gatherings, and please remain masked while in public. The biggest thing anyone can do to keep others around them safe is to continue to get tested for COVID-19 at least once per month. This helps our county open up further, and it ensures that you are not asymptomatically spreading the virus to others. Those who have been vaccinated should still get tested monthly, since you can still spread the virus even if vaccinated.”
COVID-19 precaution status of business sectors as mandated by the state (as of 3/14/21):
Grocery Stores: May now admit 100% capacity.
Retail: May now admit a max of 50% capacity.
Shopping Centers: May now admit a max of 50% capacity.
Museums: May now have indoor activities with a max of 25% capacity.
Places of Worship: May continue to have indoor activities with a max of 25% capacity.
Movie theaters: May now have indoor activities with a max of either 100 people OR 25% capacity, whichever is fewer.
Gyms: May now have indoor activities with a max of 10% capacity.
Restaurants Including Wineries, Breweries and Distilleries serving meals: May now have indoor activities with a max of 100 people OR 25% capacity, whichever is fewer.
Wineries, Breweries, Distilleries (where no meal is provided): May continue to operate outdoors with the following modifications: Patrons must make reservations and sit at tables, staying for a max of 90 minutes, and all serving of alcoholic beverages must end at 8 PM.
Bars (where no meal is provided): Must remain closed.
Long-Term Care Facilities: May restart in-person visits, while carefully maintaining specific COVID-19 precautions, such as COVID-19 screenings for both residents and visitors, facial covering usage, etc. This will likely take a few days to put in place. Please contact the facility before going in person and review the state’s guidance concerning Long-Term Facilities here: https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CHCQ/LCP/Pages/AFL-20-22.aspx

We will be posting resources to help our local businesses during this difficult and unprecedented crisis.
The Chamber is here to support you and our goal is to provide as much information as possible so that you will have access to resources that can help you through this extremely challenging time.
Although our office is closed, I'll be working from home and available via phone and email. I've temporarily laid off my staff to mitigate the impact on the Chamber budget.
For eNews submissions: chambernews@mcn.org
*Please note that all submissions should be regarding announcements that follow all state and local orders. We ask that events are not submitted at this time unless they are virtual events or webinars.
Please let me know how else I can support you and your businesses.
I hope that you are all doing as well as can be expected under these stressful times.
Take care, STAY HOME and be well.
