Starting Wednesday, gatherings of 50 or more indoors and 100 or more outdoors are prohibited in Sonoma County.
Invoking the kind of restrictions on activities that marked the early months of the pandemic, Sonoma County starting Wednesday will prohibit large gatherings — indoors and out — in an effort to tamp down the alarming spread of COVID-19 from the super-contagious omicron variant.
It doesn’t apply to regular school instruction or outdoor recess, attendance at work, courthouses, places of worship, cafeterias, shopping malls, stores, restaurants and museums. “Without mitigation efforts, state modeling projections show the current surge has the potential to lead to more than three times that number of individuals hospitalized with COVID-19, which would overwhelm local hospital bed and staffing capacity,” Mase said.
“Of course, we will follow the data, around hospitalizations in particular,” Philips said, urging people to “take extra caution,” wear high-quality face masks. “Our intention is not to impose additional restrictions.”
