灣區六縣已共同同意放寬對就地庇護令（Shelter-in-Place)中部分活動限制，有效時間從5月4日開始。這六個縣分別是Alameda、Contra Costa、Marin、San Mateo、Santa Clara和San Francisco
周三，灣區相關公共衛生官員在聯合新聞稿中說：
1、所有建築施工活動，某些主要在戶外活動企業以及某些戶外活動都將在特定條件下恢復進行。從星期一開始恢復施工，但必須遵守新的安全規程。
（"All construction activities, certain businesses that operate primarily outdoors, and some outdoor activities will be allowed to resume with specific conditions"、「Construction that resumes starting Monday will have to comply with new safety protocols.」）
2、允許恢復的戶外業務包括苗圃零售、園藝設計、高爾夫球、網球等，因為它們的風險較低。但是，不包括帶戶外座位的餐廳或咖啡館。就高爾夫球場而言，目前仍被加州要求關閉。
("Outdoor businesses that are allowed to resume include retail nurseries, landscapers and gardeners,Golf and tennis， as they are lower risk. However, restaurants or cafes with outdoor seating are not included."、
「In the case of golf courses, those are still ordered to be closed by the state of California.」）
3、只要將兒童保育設施、娛樂設施和夏令營規模限制在12名兒童之內，它們也將被允許重新開放。但是，目前加州指導方針仍然將育兒只限於參與基本業務工人子女，更嚴格的州指導方針優先於當地法規。
("Some childcare facilities, recreational facilities and summer camps will also be allowed to reopen as long as they are limited to small groups of 12 children. However, California state guidelines still limit childcare to only the children of essential workers, and those stricter state guidelines take precedent over the augmented local restrictions"）
4、所有房地產交易和住宅搬遷也將被允許恢復，但開放房屋(Open House)和上門觀看房屋的限制仍在繼續。
（「All real estate transactions and residential moves will also be allowed to resume, though limitations on open houses and in-person home viewings continue.」）
但是，當地方法規和州行政法令彼此之間不一致情況下，「適用兩者中的嚴格者」 （"Where there is overlap the stricter of the two applies" ）。
灣區公共衛生官員還宣布了未來幾周和數月內就進一步解除更多限制做出決定的標準：
