Town of Truckee issued the following announcement on Nov. 16
Daily cases have doubled in the last ten days. This is the fastest increase since the beginning of this pandemic. Under the Blueprint for Safer Economy, concerning factors trigger emergency action. Governor Gavin Newsom announced today that, based on the concerning data, California will hit the “emergency brake” on economic activity.
Newsom’s announcement means that counties that have spiking virus metrics move backward in the state’s four-tier reopening matrix after one week, not the previous two-week requirement. Counties can also move back multiple tiers if needed, and counties that move backward must require industry restrictions immediately, not three days.
WHAT THIS MEANS FOR US:
Nevada County is one of the 40 counties that will move backwards into the most restrictive tier; the Purple ‘WIDESPREAD’ Tier. These changes need to be made urgently.
Information is rapidly evolving, and we encourage our community members to look at the state updates and specific industry guidelines that are being impacted by this urgent adjustment.
The most significant changes that we want to highlight:
Restaurants & Wineries: Outdoor only, with modifications.
Bars and Breweries: Closed unless serving food, then outdoor only, with modifications.
Retail: Open with modifications with a 25% capacity limit.
Gyms and Fitness Centers: Closed to all indoor activities. Outdoor only, with modifications.
Places of Worship: Outdoor only, with modifications.
As we said, information is rapidly evolving from the state. We will continue to share the information that we receive from the state, as well as Nevada County Public Health.
