Monterey County Health Officer issues order regarding short term lodging facilities which is intended to reduce the spread of COIVD-19



On Friday, April 24 the Monterey County Health Officer issued an Order clarifying approved use of short-term lodging facilities while under the Monterey County Health Officer Shelter in Place Order dated April 3, 2020.



Short-term lodging facilities can remain open for limited purposes.  People can stay in short-term lodging as part of efforts to slow the spread of the virus such as  lodging for the homeless population, lodging for people seeking stable housing, and lodging for people who cannot return to their own residence either because they cannot isolate or quarantine at their own residence or because there is a person living in their residence with COVID-19 who cannot isolate or quarantine themselves. People can also stay in short-term lodging if they need to temporarily relocate to provide essential services, as defined in the Monterey County Shelter in Place Order dated April 3, 2020.



The order is effective immediately and will remain in effect until May 3, 2020 pending a revised order. Lodgings that have guests on site in the short-term rental prior to the effective date may stay through the end of their original booking period.  No extensions are allowed, unless the guests fall into one of the approved categories.



A copy of the order is posted at www.mtyhd.org/shelterinplace.
