According to Karl Fischer, County Health Spokesperson:
“We consider the notice of violation to be the formal warning. The first time we receive a complaint about a permit holder, we will contact the business to provide information about the health orders and work with them to ensure they can meet health order requirements. We consider those cases resolved, unless we get subsequent complaints from the public about health order violations. Most of our cases are resolved through business education, including the majority of our complaint calls in November.
A notice of violation is issued when a business that we’ve already contacted receives a subsequent complaint. A health inspector visits the business, and if they observe health order violations, they issue the notice. That triggers automatic re-inspections and could lead to fines or other penalties, if inspectors observe violations on subsequent visits,” — Karl Fischer

A day after the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors told health officials to shut down restaurants and continue to fine them should they refuse to comply with the County Health order, Lumpy’s Diner in the City of Antioch was temporarily shut down due to health order violation.
The diner was shut down Wednesday and Thursday morning was still closed pending approval to reopen. The owners of Lumpy’s said they have sent an email to the county of corrective actions and hope to reopen at some point in the next 24-hours.
Under the health order, restaurants who do not check customers proof of vaccine against COVID-19 or enforce masks, could face fines of $250, $500 or $1000 or ultimately could have their permit pulled.
On Tuesday, Anna Roth, Health Services Director, told the supervisors during the month of November, they had 99 complaints with 13 still in the enforcement process—80 different businesses.
In response to no fines, Supervisor Karen Mitchoff blasted County staff for not enforcing the health order.
“It seems to me that the time for education is over, the time for providing information is over, under the ordinance, the ordinance has progressed to the area where we need to be citing or issuing documents to shut them down,” stated Mitchoff. “The press is watching this very careful as is the public and I would like assurance that this week those types of actions will be taken. We have done the informing, we have done the educating, and its not fair to those businesses who are complying. Its not fair to the employees of those restaurants, patrons choose to go there, but employees work there.”
Roth said the complaints are now going directly to her office, however, Mitchoff was not impressed.
“I appreciate that but we are beyond that,” stated Mitchoff. There are businesses out there that you are aware of who have gone through all that administrative escalation. Are there 13-outliers out there who have gone through the fines, they have gone through the education they have not received that notice that its time to shut down. That is what I think this board needs to have assurance on.”
In October, multiple In-N-Out Burger restaurants were shut down by the County for not following the Health Order, however, they since reopened with drive-thru only.
COVID Overview in Contra Costa County
According to Anna Roth, Health Services Director, she shared the county had 1,284 cases of COVID-19—at one point, they were at 9% positivity rate on Nov. 23 and are now at 2.8% and explained the average case rate per 100% is very different based on vaccination status. That rate is 14.6 per 100,000 for unvaccinated while its 4.7 per 100,000 per vaccinated. 27 people are hospitalized with COVID-19.
“Unfortunately, we are still seeing one COVID death per day on average with 31 deaths since Nov. 7 in our county,” said Roth.
Roth highlighted 75.6 of Contra Costa County residents are fully vaccinated. The county had a goal to get to 1 million doses by July 4, they met the goal by Memorial Day and as of last Friday, they hit 2 million doses of vaccines given in the county.
“This is a tremendous accomplishment and I want to acknowledge all the staff, employees across the county as well as the partners across the county. This is a very big accomplishment,” said Roth.
For children 5-11, they now have 30.9% of those who are now vaccinated with events through December.
As of Tuesday, there is no Omicron variant within Contra Costa County explained Roth who said its in the Bay Area—Delta variant remains prominent variant.

These businesses have suffered enough. Stop the madness.
Who are the assholes turning these businesses into the health department? Get a fucking life!
It is truly shocking how many “COVID Karen’s” are out and about, going to restaurants, presumably having a meal, and then complaining to the government that the restaurant staff weren’t being vigorous COVID cops. If you idiots are so afraid of getting sick, just stay home, eat your Fruit Loops with the blinds closed, and leave small businesses and rational people alone!
And NOW we know whom would’ve turned Ann Frank into the Germans!!!!!!
Maybe the complainers should offer the card up front instead of having a NON COVID official ask for them. Just use your head. If you are in fear because no one asked, eat at home from now on and leave the rest of the world alone.
Thanks coco county health services for the list of restaurants we patriots should be spending our money at!! Patriots keep pushing forward with supporting these great businesses that are helping us regain our freedoms. Let’s do this!
Agree 100%!!!
Thank you EastCountyToday for showing this list. Now I know where to spend my money going forward. I will support these businesses as best I can going forward. Shame on the County Board of Supervisors. This is insane. They don’t do this in Alameda, San Joaquin, Solano or most other counties. Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors must go.
The anonymous names here need to be revealed. This is absurd a business can be shut down by some anyonomyons person with a vendetta.
You’re name is anonymous too dummy! 🤣
This is absolutely insane… these businesses have struggled enough through this fake pandemic. Those that turn them in should be ashamed of themselves. If you’re that afraid stay in your house and don’t come out! As far as the county officials that are pushing for this to take place… we all know who needs to be voted out! Come election time I can’t wait to give you the boot out of your authoritative position. Shame on you.. you are supposed to work for us not the governments agenda.
Fake pandemic? I had 3 people in my family die of this…nothing fake about it but I’ll tell you what, if you think its fake, take yourself and your kids to an ICU and stick your head in a covid patients room and inhale deeply without a mask…how comfortable are you with that?
Sounds like you are one of the narcs this report is reporting about. Sorry to hear you lost people you care about. Ultimately this is not about illness Prevention this is about control and unnecessary regulations. The vax DOES NOT prevent transmission. So all these people panicking about being near an unvaccinated person… They could catch it from a vaxxed person… So there’s no logic. Just demonize people who don’t want what they want.
I see a bunch of people who need to get a life. I support all businesses who refuse to be health department officials. The pandemic is OVER. Move along. Or just stay home if you’re still scared.
Burgis is the first stupervisor that needs to go after old lazy ass mitchoff finally retires! These hags are dead weight and ALOT of it!
What about letting customers decide if they want to patronize a business based upon what protocols the business chooses to follow? I guess the county thinks people are too stupid to make their own decisions and if business owners won’t voluntarily follow arbitrary rules, they must be coerced by denying them the ability to earn a living, We have become a police state, with people turning in businesses at the drop of a hat (or mask). Is it really necessary for people to wear masks the twenty feet from the door to the table when they’ll be taking the masks off at the table? I’m thoroughly disgusted by the tyrannical approach Contra Costa County has taken.
YET you can go to another county 90 min away and nothing is required, not even a mask! It’s ridiculous to just require/enforce/punish these businesses in one county….. leave them alone
Cant wait to get out of Commifornia!! I will never get the jab and all the more reason to support these free willed businesses. If the Gov’t wants v-cards checked at the door then the Gov’t should be standing at the door. I don’t think it’s in the servers job description!!
More government strong arming. Complete bullsh*t. More reasons to flee this over regulated state. Soon the people left here will be the bureaucrats that have ruined this state. GOVERNMENT IS OUT OF CONTROL
Good job! Don’t want to comply with health orders, choose to be shut down. That simple.
I’m telling you, this is all because some blue_haired pencil pusher at the ccc health dept. Saw a Bible verse on the bottom of their in n out cup, got triggered and sent some tax_funded henchman out to Crack some skulls. Croney capitalism at its finest.
Gov can cut down on looting and crime for the business owners onstead of hassling them. Greasy Nuisance, Biden’s and Soros B, will enforce. For thee, no mandate for me.
Thanks for Getting a list of places I will Visit! This State has gone to hell, vaccinated spreading mroe than unvaxxed so this is useless and just intidation.
