Santa Clara County will impose fines on businesses and individuals that violate health orders, following the lead of other Bay Area neighbors to enforce mask-wearing, social distancing and other rules aimed at stopping the spread of coronavirus.
The county Board of Supervisors unanimously voted Tuesday to adopt an ordinance that would allow a maximum $500 civil fine to be imposed for non-business violations and a $5,000 maximum for business violations. It goes into effect immediately.
