Mayor Harry Kim issued an emergency rule today that reopens public swimming pools and bars and allows outdoor organized sports in phases.
New provisions in the rule include the opening of more county park and recreational facilities and activities, including swimming pools (beginning July 13), camping (beginning July 13 and Aug. 1, depending on which park) and outdoor organized team sports in phases (beginning Friday and July 20, respectively).
Swimming pools may reopen on or after Monday, July 13, with modified days/hours of operations and modified rules in effect as established by the director of the Parks and Recreation Department.
Bars can reopen Friday with the same rules that apply to restaurants, but with some additional restrictions.
Effective Friday, sports programs can resume operations limited to sports conditioning, individual skill development and controlled group situational drills for participants and coaches, with restrictions.
On July 20, all non-contact sports programs may resume full regimen practices, scrimmages and competitive play.
Nightclubs, large indoor and outdoor venues, such as concerts and conventions, and road races such as marathons will remain closed. Senior centers also will remain closed.
