The Monterey County Health Department announced that County Health Officer Dr. Ed Moreno will issue a revised Shelter in Place order this morning at 10 a.m.
The updated order is expected to go into effect on Monday. Then update will extend the current order. Officials said that it will also lift restrictions on some low-risk activities and industries.
Monterey county also said there will also be two new COVID-19 testing sites in the county starting Tuesday.
The new testing sites will be in Salinas and Greenfield.
The sites will offer priority to healthcare workers and first responders, but there are also plans to prioritize other frontline and essential workers before the service is offered to the public.
The sites will bill health insurance for the service, but the state will cover the cost for anyone without insurance. Testing will be by appointment only.
