California and San Diego Expanding Businesses That Can Reopen

On May 12, 2020, the businesses which can reopen under Early Stage 2 of the Resilience Roadmap have expanded to include:

• Office-based businesses (telework is still strongly encouraged)
• Car washes
• Pet grooming
• Landscaping and gardening businesses
• Outdoor museums and open gallery spaces
• Shopping malls (outdoor malls only), limited to curbside pickup

These reopening businesses should make sure to comply with industry guidance and checklists as established by the Resilience Roadmap, the Reopen San Diego Business Safety Framework, and the updated Public Health Order issued by the San Diego County Public Health Office.  The requirements for reopening businesses—including the Safe Reopening Plan all reopened businesses must complete—are summarized in the May 8, 2020 Resource Blog post.
