Reopening Businesses Local businesses can now apply to reopen on a gradual basis consistent with state and local guidelines. Reopening of businesses will occur in several stages and cohorts, but businesses can complete a COVID-19 Operations Plan now in preparation for when their sector reopens. Complete and Submit a COVID-19 Operations Plan Businesses should use the following documents to help them complete and submit a COVID-19 Operations Plan for their business or organization: · COVID-19 Operations Plan Form · Del Norte County Best Practices for Businesses · Sample COVID-19 Interim Plan · Signs to Post The Economic Resiliency Branch of the EOC is available to assist businesses in completing their COVID-19 Operations Plan. Completed plans may be submitted for approval electronically to: or mailed to: Del Norte County Public Health Ready to Reopen When the correct sector is open and a business has submitted a COVID-19 Operations Plan to Public Health for review and approval, that business is "Ready to Reopen." They may self-certify their location and reopen with pending approval of the COVID-19 operations plan. They should print the Self-Certification Window Placard and place it in a window or where it can be easily viewed by the public. Certified to Open After Public Health has reviewed the COVID-19 Operations Plan and has approved, the business will be contacted by Public Health or by a representative of Public Health. It is unknown at this point how long the review process will take. A certificate will be given to the business, stating that the business's COVID-19 Operations Plan has been approved and that the location is certified to open and has met all requirements of COVID-19 transmission mitigation and is "Certified to Open." This certification should be placed where it can be easily viewed by the public. Businesses that are open consistent with the reopening stages will be prioritized for approval. Businesses that are not yet allowed to open will be given notification of approval of their plan, but will not be allowed to open until the stage their sector is in is opened. Please know that plans should be available upon request. STAGES OF REOPENING |
