Sheriff Mark Essick, who declared last week that his deputies would no longer enforce Sonoma County's coronavirus health order, has reversed course.

Sheriff Mark Essick says his department will stop enforcing local shelter-in-place restrictions amid the coronavirus pandemic, even as cases rise.

“Law enforcement has already seen a marked increase in attempted suicides, domestic violence and child endangerment. These impacts must factor into our decision-making process and policy priorities as well.” Essick had criticized the county’s mandate for being far more restrictive than the state order, despite the county’s relatively low infection rate compared with other regions of California.
