Although there are no confirmed cases of coronavirus in San Bernardino County, the County’s Public Health Officer yesterday ordered the immediate cancellation or postponement of gatherings of more than 250 people within the county until further notice. The cancellations are to protect the public from any possible spread of the virus that causes COVID-19, or coronavirus.

The County Public Health Officer’s order does not apply to activities such as attendance at regular school classes, work, essential services, public transportation, airport travel, or shopping. Nor does it apply to dormitories or other congregate living places.
