Be safe - cover your nose and mouth | Lafayette

The order also requires ride share drivers, public transit, and government workers to wear masks when they come close to others, or where the public is likely to be present. Do not be surprised if police officers and firefighters are wearing masks and other personal protective equipment when they respond to an emergency call.

Businesses must take reasonable measures, such as posting signs, to remind visitors about masking, and not serve customers who do not observe the order.

The new order does not extend to people driving in personal vehicles alone or with members of their households. Additionally, children under 12 years old do not have to wear a facial cover and children 2 years old or younger should not wear a cover due to suffocation risks. People who are outside exercising also do not have to wear a cover unless someone is within 6' of them.and they need to carry a face covering or mask. For example, if you are hiking or walking on a trail, you only need to cover your nose and mouth when you pass someone.and remember to make room so there is space between people.

The Health Department has also opened 4 locations for drive-through testing for people with COVID-19 symptoms. Testing is done in your vehicle. Call 844-421-0804 to be screened by a nurse and make an appointment to be tested. Testing is being done at County Health Department offices in San Pablo, Martinez, Concord, and Pittsburg.
