Individuals are exempt from wearing face coverings in the following specific settings:
- Persons in a car alone or solely with members of their own household.
- Persons who are working in an office or in a room alone.
- Persons who are actively eating or drinking provided that they are able to maintain a distance of at least six feet away from persons who are not members of the same household or residence.
- Persons who are outdoors and maintaining at least 6 feet of social distancing from others not in their household. Such persons must have a face covering with them at all times and must put it on if they are within 6 feet of others who are not in their household.
- Persons who are obtaining a service involving the nose or face for which temporary removal of the face covering is necessary to perform the service.

These persons should limit their interactions to their immediate household. This recommendation does not apply to individuals who cross state or country borders for essential travel.
2. Californians are encouraged to stay home or in their region and avoid non-essential travel to other states or countries. Avoiding travel can reduce the risk of virus transmission and bringing the virus back to California.

County Encourages Residents and Businesses to Get Tested for COVID-19 |
County of Ventura public health officials are encouraging all residents to get tested. Testing helps limit the spread of COVID by letting people know if they are positive and need to quarantine so that they don't spread it to family members or co-workers. Even residents that are not experiencing symptoms should consider getting tested given that there is a significant number of people with COVID who are asymptomatic. Tests are free, self-administered, readily available without an appointment, and results are available usually within 3 days.
Mobile Testing Trailer Available for Large Businesses
The County of Ventura now has a mobile task force that is available to conduct on site testing for employers throughout the county at no cost. If an employer meets the following requirements, they are eligible to bring the testing trailer to their workplace:
- Business or organization must have at least 100 people that would like to get tested for the COVID-19 virus. Maximum capacity is typically 300 individuals.
- Outdoor location must include 100' x 50' open space suitable for parking and maneuvering a truck and 28' trailer.
- Host location must provide access to restroom facilities for the testing staff within 200' walking distance of the testing location.
- Businesses and organizations are responsible for traffic control during the event within their premises.
- PLEASE NOTE: Your scheduled testing event may be postponed or even canceled if the Mobile Testing Taskforce is deployed to another location to handle a mass COVID-related exposure incident.
- Sign up requests are subject to review and approval. County staff will confirm your reservation by contact within 24 hours.
