Berkeley Health Officer Has Issued a Shelter in Place Order
Today Dr. Lisa Hernandez, Berkeley Public Health Officer, issued an order along with six bay area counties to shelter in place and leave only for essential needs.
This order will be effective at 12:01 a.m. on March 17, 2020 (tonight) and will continue to be in effect until 11:59 p.m. on April 7, 2020, or until it is extended, rescinded, superseded, or amended in writing by the Health Officer.
This is a challenging and scary time. Please take precautions to protect the public safety of those around you and this community. Call your neighbors, friends, and family to check on them. Stay home. And wash your hands.
