  • Dine-in restaurants
  • Bars and nightclubs
  • Entertainment venues

All schools in Riverside County are closed until at least April 30.

Health officials have also ordered all businesses to limit occupancy to 10 or fewer throughout Riverside County and for all residents to maintain a six-foot social distance between others through April 30.

The order is very similar to the one issued by Palm Springs earlier this week. Palm Springs' "shelter-in-place" order closed non-essential business.
