Reports Bars and Restaurants May Reopen Are Just Wrong, County Says | Lost Coast Outpost


We in the Advanced They were even briefly confused today after a link was sent to a news item saying the governor would allow bars, restaurants and other businesses to reopen in 22 counties, including Humboldt.

A quick Google search revealed that the story was wrongey-bad-bad. (Since then it has been corrected). But apparently the misinformation spread quickly.

Here’s a clarifying press release from the Humboldt County Joint Information Center:

The Humboldt County Joint Information Center has received multiple calls about false texts and news reports announcing the reopening of bars and restaurants. These reports are incorrect. A statewide closure of these facilities remains in effect by state orders.

All bars must remain closed, and the following sectors can only operate outdoors:

  • Restaurants for dinner
  • Wineries and tasting rooms.
  • Cinemas
  • Family entertainment centers (eg bowling alleys, miniature golf, batting cages, and game rooms)
  • Zoos and museums.
  • Card rooms.
