City of Menifee Reopening
The City of Menifee has pivoted to use the State's Resilience Roadmap to ensure that we can adapt and reopen together as quickly and safely as possible under the State's order. The State determines when and how each county may reopen based on a county's ability to meet the State's criteria. The State has said that some counties may reopen faster if they are able to show greater progress.
Counties that have met the readiness criteria prescribed by the California Department of Public Health can open additional businesses as outlined on the County Variance page.
Effective July 13, 2020, ALL counties must close indoor operations in these sectors:
- Dine-in restaurants
- Wineries and tasting rooms
- Movie theaters
- Family entertainment centers (for example: bowling alleys, miniature golf, batting cages and arcades)
- Zoos and museums
- Cardrooms
Additionally, bars, brewpubs, breweries, and pubs must close all operations both indoor and outdoor statewide, unless they are offering sit-down, outdoor dining. Alcohol can only be sold in the same transaction as a meal.
Counties that have remained on the County Monitoring List for 3 consecutive days will be required to shut down the following industries or activities unless they can be modified to operate outside or by pick-up.
- Gyms and fitness centers
- Places of worship and cultural ceremonies, like weddings and funerals
- Offices for non-critical infrastructure sectors
- Personal care services, like nail salons and body waxing
- Hair salons and barbershops
- Shopping malls
Shops that offer tattoos, piercings and electrolysis may not be operated outdoors and must close.

The health and safety of our residents and the economic health of our communities and businesses will require health, government, education, business, and community members work in concert now and through all phases of reopening.
In the same way that our local Shelter at Home Order has required each resident in our communities to modify behavior and practices to manage the spread of COVID-19, it is anticipated the phases of reopening the City of Menifee will also require our communities to sustain and modify behaviors over time.
We will all need to adapt to a new normal as the community of Menifee and commerce open gradually and safely, in phases.
