This is not accurate. Outside gatherings of up to 100 people are now allowed for protesting and religious gatherings, as allowed by the state.
In Contra Costa County, new “health” guidelines allow protests of 100 people, but restrict religious services until June 15.
Social distancing should remain data-driven and apolitical:
If you can protest, you can pray.

In Contra Costa, we plan to keep tracking progress on our 5 key indicators to decide when we're ready to move on to the next stage of relaxing our current shelter-in-place restrictions. The Gov made it clear that locals can retain stricter policies based on local conditions.
CA is led by data and SCIENCE.
Based off our progress, we’ll begin to gradually move into Stage 2 this FRIDAY.
Some sectors where there’s a lower risk of transmission will be able to adapt & re-open with modifications.
This will include some retail and manufacturing/logistics.
