Inyo County California

Do you own a business in Inyo County that was closed due to COVID-19 and want to reopen safely? Hopefully, these instructions will help.

Start by clicking the "Reopening Businesses in Inyo County" link below. You'll see a graphic that tells what stage of reopening the County is currently situated. You'll also see a tab on the left called "Industry Checklists." Click on the Industry Checklist tab.

Now you'll see a long list of Industries that the State has issued reopening guidance for already. If you don't see your industry listed, the State is still working on it, and we will update our site as soon as it comes out. Click on the guidelines link for your industry. Here you'll find the State guidance that Inyo County would like you to follow to open your business up safely.

The first item you'll probably see is the need for a "Workplace Specific Plan." For restaurants, we have provided a fillable form below, "Covid-19 Restaurant Operating Procedures," that will work for this plan. Feel free to use it. 

Once you have read through the guidance and made the necessary changes to your operation to keep both your staff and the customer safe from possible exposure, click on the "Attestation Form" link below. This form, once completed and submitted, will go to County staff for review. If the team sees that you have done all that you can to open safely, they will contact you with their approval.
