Just FYI, that county did not have indoor dining restrictions when he dined there, so he did not break the law.

- scruple 6y agoWell that clears it up.
- Rebelgecko 6y agoWhile I don't think there's any legal penalty for violators, at the time of the birthday party the California Department of Public Health prohibited gatherings of 3 or more households: https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CID/DCDC/Pages/COVID-19/CDPH-Guidance-for-the-Prevention-of-COVID-19-Transmission-for-Gatherings-10-09.aspx https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CID/DCDC/Pages/COVID-19/CDP... Newsom also relaxed his original "science based" thresholds for shutting down dining, which helped keep Napa County restaurants and wineries (including the one which he still partially owns) open. When asking people not to celebrate birthdays with their friends or to send their kids to school in person, it sets a bad example when you do those things. It also probably doesn't help your job effectiveness when you're forced to do 14 day quarantines multiple times due to nonessential COVID exposure (I think his kid's classmates have gotten it a few times)
