The City of Laguna Niguel is working to support our local businesses during this COVID-19 crisis and beyond. We will provide timely information, resources, programs and updates to help your business thrive!
Governor Gavin Newsom's Regional Stay-at-Home Order goes into effect 24 hours after a region’s ICU capacity falls below 15%. Today, the State announced that the Southern California Region, which includes Orange County, is now at 12.5%, surpassing the threshold.
As reported in a City statement earlier this week, the new order will impact several sectors with temporary closures or capacity limits to slow the spread of the virus on a regional basis. This includes the temporary closure of bars, wineries, personal services, hair salons and barber shops.
The order also includes temporarily closing indoor and outdoor playgrounds; indoor recreational facilities; museums, zoos, and aquariums; movie theaters; and family entertainment centers.
Sectors that will remain open include retail (20% capacity with entrance metering and no eating/drinking in stores) and restaurants for take-out, pick-up and delivery. Other sectors have modified orders, which are detailed at this link.
The State order goes into effect at 11:59 pm on Sunday, December 6. The order will remain in place for at least three weeks.
While the City recognizes the importance of addressing the COVID-19 surge to save lives, we also understand how difficult it is for many and the staggering impact on small businesses. Businesses are urged to view the available funding sources at this link and contact the City's economic development team with questions at econdev@cityoflagunaniguel.org.
