Sonoma County reportedly planning to ease COVID-19-related shelter at home restrictions this week
SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- People living in the North Bay could soon see public restrictions lifted amid the novel coronavirus pandemic.
According to the Press Democrat, The county health officer is planning to ease some of the rules, as early as Wednesday, April 29.
