Bay Area Counties Get Tough on Stay-at-Home Order Evaders

SAN RAFAEL (KPIX) — Easter weekend is just around the corner and the Bay Area is cracking down on shelter-at-home violators.

Marin County is already enforcing tougher restrictions and issuing citations. The Marin County Sheriff’s Office has been giving warning citations to people violating the stay-at home-order for about a week. Now, Marin County, in addition to other Bay Area counties, is limiting access to parks ahead of the holiday weekend.

If you do get ticket in Marin County for parking near open space areas, it will cost you $100. For the next month, Marin County is implementing restrictions for short-term rentals which includes everything from hotels to vacation rentals. Those will only be available for county residents in need of temporary housing.
