All of the following are hereby incorporated by reference into this chapter and shall constitute “Public Health Orders,” as that term is used herein:
(1) County Health Officer orders relating to the COVID-19 pandemic, including those now in existence and any that later come into existence, and including all materials expressly incorporated by reference into such orders;
(2) All orders of the State Public Health Officer, state guidance documents issued for businesses and activities that have been adopted or approved by the County Health Officer, as well as any state guidance and directives posted on covid19.ca.gov that are described as mandatory, binding, or otherwise presented as enforceable obligations;
(3) Any site-specific protocol (including but not limited to a completed Social Distancing Protocol Worksheet) completed as required by state and local requirements. The failure to post such protocol in violation of any of the foregoing requirements shall also be a violation of his chapter.
All public health orders are hereby deemed orders and regulations of the Board of Supervisors pursuant to Government Code § 8634, shall constitute the law of the County within both unincorporated and incorporated areas, and are determined to be necessary for the protection of life and property during the local emergency declared in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic. Any violation of a public health order shall constitute an immediate danger to public health and safety pursuant to Government Code § 53069.4 and shall constitute a public nuisance. Nothing in this chapter shall be interpreted to make any conduct that does not violate a public health order a violation of this chapter. (§ 5, Ord. 1523, eff. July 7, 2020)
