LATEST June 5, 9:23 p.m. White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany called out Contra Costa County on its recently announced health guidelines on Twitter, but CoCo was having none of it.

"In Contra Costa County, new 'health' guidelines allow protests of 100 people, but restrict religious services until June 15," McEnany wrote on Twitter. "Social distancing should remain data-driven and apolitical: If you can protest, you can pray."

Contra Costa Health Services was quick to correct McEnany.

"This is not accurate. Outside gatherings of up to 100 people are now allowed for protesting and religious gatherings, as allowed by the state."

Contra Costa County Supervisor John Gioia later added: "Kayleigh, get your facts straight! Contra Costa’s new health guidelines allow both outdoor religious services&outdoor protests. We take public health seriously&make decisions based on #scienceoverpolitics."

“As a community and as a nation, we are experiencing some of the most difficult and challenging times many of us have ever experienced. The COVID-19 virus has had an impact on every aspect of our lives. It has been particularly devastating to low income communities and communities of color in our county and across our state and nation. This has been compounded by structural inequities that exist in our society that are unjust, persistent, and damaging,” said County Health Officer Dr. Sara Cody.

San Mateo's modified order that takes effect Saturday also allows for charter boat operations with physical distancing requirements in place and increases the number of people allowed to attend an outdoor funeral from 10 to 25.
