Here’s what businesses are closed in each California county under new Newsom COVID-19 order

California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Monday ordered counties to close down most “indoor activities” in the public realm. The governor cited the state’s continually growing infection rate, as well as spiking numbers of hospitalizations and serious cases requiring intensive care wards.

The governor issued two levels of closures, one level for all 58 counties, and a second, deeper level for 29 counties that have been on the state’s “monitoring list” for three or more days.

As of Monday, all counties in the state are ordered to close indoor operations in these sectors:

  • Dine-in restaurants
  • Wineries and tasting rooms
  • Movie theaters
  • Family entertainment centers (for example: bowling alleys, miniature golf, batting cages and arcades)
  • Zoos and museums
  • Cardrooms

The order also requires all counties to close all indoor and outdoor operations of bars, brewpubs, breweries, and pubs.

In addition, 29 counties on the state watchlist are ordered to close the following “industries or activities unless they can be modified to operate outside or by pick-up.”

Those counties include Sacramento, Placer, Yolo, Solano, San Joaquin, Yuba and Sutter in the Sacramento region. Fresno, Kings, Merced, Stanislaus and Tulare are also on the list.

  • Fitness centers
  • Worship services
  • Protests
  • Offices for non-essential sectors
  • Personal care services, like nail salons, body waxing and tattoo parlors
  • Hair salons and barbershops
  • Malls
