SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — San Diego County leaders Friday expanded its health orders to allow several outdoor activities, as some retail businesses reopened for curbside service.
San Diego Supervisor Nathan Fletcher announced that, effective Friday, the county would begin allowing more outdoor recreation, including:
- Rental of bicycles, boats, kayaks, and surfboards for recreation.
- Golf carts available for all single riders regardless of age.
- Camping reopened on a limited basis, with spots being limited by 50 percent. Individuals at one camp site must be from same household.
- Outdoor recreational facilities, like tennis and handball courts, can reopen if they abide by physical distancing rules and groups participating are of the same household. Equipment must be sanitized and employees must undergo temperature checks before each shift. Owners and operators of these outdoor facilities must provide a safe reopening plan and posted publically.
The additional activities must abide by the county's public health orders for face coverings and physical distancing.
The county will keep community swimming pools closed, citing the state's requirement they remain closed.
