Process to Re-Open Businesses
For any business to re-open, you must follow these steps:
- Review and take all steps to comply with the state's industry guidance for your business type. To find your industry guidance, check both the statewide guidance list and the accelerated county guidance list. There are two lists because Ventura County qualifies for accelerated re-opening; not all counties are approved for the accelerated re-opening.
- Prepare a COVID-19 Prevention Plan. Ventura County has prepared templates for various industries.
- Register your business at www.vcreopens.com.
- Open.
