Lake County, CA (June 2, 2020) – This morning, in a letter to public health officials and government
leaders, State Public Health Officer, Sonia Y. Angell, MD, MPH, shared that reopening of additional
sectors will employ a two-step process:
“A variance county can elect to open a given sector so long as (1) the State has issued guidance
for how a given sector can reopen and (2) the local health officer has provided approval for that
sector to open in that locality. If the state has not yet released guidance for a sector, then that
sector cannot yet be opened.”
