Process: Opening Dine-In Restaurants and In-Store Retail

Ventura County has established the process to allow in-restaurant dining and in-store retail, as part of a state-approved accelerated Stage 2 re-opening of the economy. The process is the same as for opening other types of businesses:

  1. Establish, implement, and enforce a COVID-19 Prevention Plan for your business type.
  2. Register with the County and attest to your preparedness at www.vcreopens.com.
  3. You can open immediately upon registering with the County, and you can expect a site visit within a few business days to confirm your Plan and that you are complying with it.

Sample plans and requirements specific to all business types allowed to open, including restaurants and retail, are available at www.vcreopens.com.
How Many Moorpark Businesses Have Registered as Open?

So far, approximately 100 (out of approximately 650) commercially-based Moorpark businesses have registered with Ventura County as open at www.vcreopens.com . Of those that registered, approximately 75 have already had their COVID-19 Prevention Plans and efforts confirmed through site visits; more site visits to confirm the rest are ongoing every day.
Help Us Update the City's Restaurant Portal

As restaurants re-open and expand business hours, we need your help to keep our restaurant portal ( www.moorparkca.gov/restaurants ) updated. If you are a restaurant opening for dine-in service or changing your business hours - or if you are a customer who sees that we need to update our website - please E-mail us and share the update. Together, we can keep our restaurant portal up-to-date and let the public know who is open and where they can go!
Free COVID-19 Testing for the Public Available
The Ventura County Health Care Agency has opened up drive-through COVID-19 testing sites for the general public at locations across the County, including one in the main parking lot at Moorpark College. They test for COVID-19 (not for antibodies) through a self-administered nose swab test. For more information, please visit the City's COVID-19 portal .
