City Manager COVID-19 Update. Mr. Brown reported the Governor's Stay Home Order Executive Order has been lifted and phased out the vast majority of executive actions that were put in place beginning in March 2020 as part of the pandemic response, leaving a subset of provisions that facilitate the ongoing recovery. This means no more physical distancing, no capacity limits, no county tiers, and relaxed mask guidance for fully vaccinated people. The California Department of Public Health has issued new guidance for several industry sectors including schools, childcare providers, correctional/detention facilities, disaster shelters, transportation, mega events, and businesses, churches. The State has switched to a more intuitive system for identifying when face coverings are required depending on exposure risk and in light of fully vaccinated individuals having less risk of contracting COVID-19. Unvaccinated persons are still required to wear masks to protect themselves and others in most settings. Minutes of the City Council/Successor Agency Moorpark, California Page 5 June 16, 2021 This means if you are fully vaccinated, masks are not required and if you have yet to be fully vaccinated social distancing and face covering requirements remain in place with regulation enforcement up to businesses and individuals. This means Moorpark Businesses can fully reopen now although return to 100% capacity will take time depending on the business sector. Also, we may see different signage on businesses outlining their face covering policy. Businesses are permitted to require its patrons to be masked when they enter and in certain business sectors such as health care, public transit masks are still required. Businesses are encouraged to call the City with questions. The City has already resumed in-person meetings and opened City facilities to the public and staff will still be required to don face coverings in certain situations regardless of vaccination status. Cal OSHA will be issuing further guidance on masking tomorrow as their most recent guidance conflicted with the CDC guidance. The City has returned to planning events for the coming fiscal year including Country Days, Holiday on High Street, Movies in the Park, and the 3rd of July fireworks. Capacity will to be limited to less than 10,000 for the 3rd of July event based on State guidance for "mega events." Such events are allowable but have significant requirements that we cannot meet for this year. COVID-19 metrics continue to improve, with the County seven-day case rate at 1.2 per 100,000 and test positivity rate at 0.7%.
