California’s Stay-At-Home Order Lifted: What Does This Mean For Your Business?

January 27, 2021 1:21 pm

On Monday, Governor Newsom lifted the stay-at-home order that had been in place since early December.

While this is welcome news, it does not mean that all can return to normal. Lifting the stay-at-home order means a return to the tiered Blueprint for a Safer Economy plan, and Fresno County is still in the most restrictive “purple” tier.

To leave the purple tier, counties must have fewer than 7.0 new daily cases per 100,000 people and must have a lower than 8.0% positive test rate. As of January 26, Fresno County has 58.0 new daily cases and a 15.3% positive test rate. That is very much in the purple tier.

Restaurants may resume outdoor dining and other businesses, including hair and nail salons and barbers, may resume operations. Retail operations can also expand their capacity limits from 20% (under the stay-at-home order) to 25% (under the purple tier restrictions).

All employers should maintain COVID-19 safety protocols including face coverings, social distancing, sanitizing work surfaces, and daily health screenings.

We encourage you to create a COVID-19 Prevention Program (CPP) for your business, as required by Cal/OSHA. Sierra HR Partners is happy to help. If you’d like us to assist in creating a customized, comprehensive CPP, please complete the questionnaire here.
