Downtown San Diego Restaurants Are Open for Inside Dining!
Starting August 31st, San Diego businesses including restaurants, movie theaters, gyms, museums and hair and nail salons resumed indoor operations with modifications under newly issued California state guidance related to the coronavirus pandemic.
As announced by California Governor Gavin Newsom on Friday, August 28th, San Diego County restaurants, places of worship and movie theaters can reopen indoor operations, but are only allowed up to 25% occupancy or 100 people, whichever is less. Museums, zoos and aquariums are also required not to exceed 25% occupancy. Gyms, dance studios, yoga studios and fitness centers may operate with 10% occupancy. Hair salons, barbershops, tattoo parlors, piercing shops, skin care and cosmetology services and nail salons may operate indoors with normal capacity. Regarding retail businesses, Dr. Wilma Wooten, the county's public health officer, said the county would follow state guidelines that they're to be restricted to 50% occupancy. Previously there were no such occupancy restrictions for retail. All indoor businesses must still abide by social distancing and face covering mandates, as well as post an updated and detailed safe reopening plan. Restaurants are still ordered to close by 10pm, with all customers required to be off-premises by 11pm.
Governor Gavin Newsom released a new state system that sorts counties into one of four tiers based on the extent of the area's COVID-19 outbreak. San Diego County had made it to "tier 2," the only county in Southern California to earn that designation. Unlike neighboring counties like Orange, Riverside, Los Angeles and Imperial counties, the outbreak is not considered "widespread."
