REOPENING & RECOVERY EFFORTS SURVEY
SLO County is seeking input from residents and businesses on reopening and recovery efforts. Please take a few minutes to complete the survey.
LOCAL VARIANCE ATTESTATIONS
A county that has met certain criteria in containing COVID-19 may consider increasing the pace at which they advance through Stage 2 of California’s roadmap to modify the Stay-at-Home order. The goal is to open the state in a way that minimizes the risk for COVID-19 to the extent possible.
On May 20, 20, the State approved SLO County to move further into Stage 2 of phased reopening. What does that mean for the Morro Bay? Check out the flyer and public notice below to find out.
