It was a step that even Santa Clara County - which fined almost 400 businesses during the first year of the pandemic for violating health orders involving mask wearing, social distancing and other COVID-preventive measures - didn’t take. (Doug Duran/Bay Area News Group) Doug Duran/Bay Area News Group Mitchoff said in an interview this week that she was unaware the county health department had not issued any fines in November to restaurants violating the vaccine passports order. Contra Costa County District IV Supervisor Karen Mitchoff talks to the media in Martinez, Calif., on Tuesday, July 10, 2018. The order was intended to slow the spread of COVID-19 inside places where people breathe heavily from exercising or remove their masks to eat and drink. In September, Contra Costa Health Services joined San Francisco County and the city of Berkeley in becoming the only Bay Area agencies to declare that restaurants, bars and gyms cannot allow customers inside unless they prove they’ve been vaccinated or recently tested.

“Citations that need to be made will be made.” “I can assure you that we are not slacking off on citations,” she said. Mitchoff also said she would push the health department to retroactively fine restaurants that broke the rules. “I called the individual in the department and let them know I was unhappy about it.” “It’s unacceptable,” Mitchoff said, adding later that she looked into who had made the call not to issue fines.
