June 15 Re-Opening Guidelines, Short-Term Rental Program Community Workshop & Revitalizing Main Street Community Conversation
City of Milpitas - Office of Economic Development | June 14, 2021
What Does the June 15 Re-Opening Mean for Businesses?
COVID-19 has dramatically reshaped our lives, in particular the business community. While much is still unclear, June 15 will fully re-open California's economy again and California will no longer operate under the color-coded Blueprint for a Safer Economy tiered framework, and will instead adopt Beyond the Blueprint, the latest set of guidelines.
Under this new framework, the following guidelines are established:
Physical distancing: No restrictions for customers, attendees, guests
Travel: Californians are discouraged from out-of-state travel for non-essential travel if NOT vaccinated. Unvaccinated individuals traveling for non-essential reasons should get tested for COVID-19 before and after traveling, and quarantine for 7 days afterward. The CDPH Travel Advisory can be found here.
Vaccinations: Required for indoor mega events (5,000+ attendees); recommended for outdoor mega events (10,000+ attendees).
The Director and State Public Health Officer issued an Order on June 11 acknowledging the progress made in curbing the spread of COVID-19, however we should remain vigilant and continue to get vaccinated. The Order effectuates the Beyond the Blueprint guidelines above. The State has established a COVID-19 hotline for guideline clarifications at 1-833-422-4255 operating from Monday through Friday, 8am to 8pm, and Saturday, 8am to 5pm. Businesses can also email questions to EssentialServicesInquiries@cdph.ca.gov.
Please also keep in mind that employers are subject to the Cal/OSHA COVID-19 Prevention Emergency Temporary Standards, if applicable to them. Visit the Cal/OSHA and Statewide Industry Guidance on COVID-19 page and the State’s Safer At Work COVID-19 Employer Portal for more information. We understand that questions may remain about masking requirements and other guidelines; further clarifications for employers should be issued soon and the Milpitas business community will be notified.
