On Wednesday, seven Bay Area jurisdictions released a new shelter-in-place order mandating that people stay home through May — with some key changes that will slightly loosen restrictions on daily life.

The order — issued jointly by health officers in Alameda, Contra Costa, San Mateo, Santa Clara, San Francisco and Marin counties, plus the city of Berkeley — will take effect Monday, the same day that the current shelter-in-place plan expires. Under the new rules, existing requirements that people practice social distancing and leave home for only essential business and travel will remain in place, but some outdoor activities and business will be allowed to reopen.
