​​​Sacramento County’s Public Health Order has been amended, effective 10 p.m., Saturday, November 21 to align with the State of California’s new limited “Stay at Home Order” as well as updated guidance on the wearing of face coverings.

Yesterday, the State of California announced new limited “Stay at Home” order that set a curfew from 10 p.m. – 5 a.m. for counties that are in the Tier 1 Purple on the Blueprint for a Safer Economy tier system. The curfew is effective at 10 p.m. on Saturday, November 21 and remains in place for one month. Sacramento County moved to Tier 1 Purple on November 10 due to increased daily cases and higher positivity rates – therefore under the curfew restrictions for residents and businesses not deemed essential or critical infrastructure.  

The state also issued updated guidance on the wearing of face coverings. People in California must wear face coverings when they are outside of the home, unless one of the exemptions applies. Exemptions include:
  • Driving in a vehicle or working in a room alone
  • When actively eating or drinking, provided that six feet of distance can be maintained
  • Outdoors when at least six feet of distance can be maintained at all times
  • Medical exemptions 

Public Health has reopened its waiver application for Elementary schools to apply for in-person learning while Sacramento County remains in the Tier 1 Purple. 

Read the November 21 Public Health Order​.

For questions about the Public Health Order, call the Public Health hotline at (916) 875-2400.
