City of Pleasanton COVID-19 Information

Announcements

Alameda County is in alignment with the State of California's masking requirements as announced recently, effective June 25 at 12:01 am. Order 22-03 rescinds County of Alameda Health Officer Order no. 22-02, which mandated masking for all individuals in the County of Alameda in indoor public spaces, regardless of vaccination status. The Alameda County Health Officer closely monitored local COVID-19 trends while the masking Order was in place and has determined that it can be lifted given current conditions. Daily reported COVID-19 cases have peaked and continue to decline, and case rates are improving across each of the County’s largest racial and ethnic groups, including Hispanic/Latino residents who were once again disproportionately affected. See Press Release

The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) and Alameda County continue to strongly recommend masking indoors. County residents, visitors, and workers will be bound by that state Guidance.  Employers should consult the Cal/OSHA Emergency Temporary Standards for work-related activities, if applicable. Businesses, venue operators, and hosts may choose to continue requiring patrons and workers to wear masks to lower COVID-19 risk in their settings. 

Indoor masking is still required in the following settings, regardless of vaccination status:

  • Emergency Shelters and Cooling/Heating Centers
  • Health Care Settings
  • Correctional & Detention Facilities
  • Homeless Shelters
  • Long Term Care Facilities including Adult & Senior Care Facilities

Workplaces will continue to follow the COVID-19 Prevention Standards set by CalOSHA. For additional County resources, visit Home | COVID-19 | Alameda County Public Health Department (acgov.org).

Vaccination Information

The Health Officer also strongly recommends that all eligible persons in the County be vaccinated, including booster shots. Everyone 6 months and older is now eligible for safe, effective COVID-19 vaccines. Information on obtaining a COVID-19 vaccine in the County of Alameda is available here: https://covid-19.acgov.org/vaccines.
