Shelter in Place: What can you do in Mountain View?
The City is working to adjust our services to follow the changes under State and County orders. As restrictions are eased, we will keep residents up-to-date on what's opening up and how to safely visit these spaces.
Please note, our county stay at home orders supersede the state's directive, as they are more restrictive. As the county re-evaluates their order, we will let you know their updates.
For a list of open Mountain View businesses including restaurants open for takeout/delivery, stores providing essential services, and stores open online, visit www.ilovemv.org. To support small businesses donate to #togethermv.

Coping with Mental Health
COVID-19 Update
You may notice that the number of new cases from day to day might not always add up to the cumulative total of cases. This is because the county’s quality control measures and those of the California Department of Public Health may determine a need for reclassification of some cases. These small adjustments are due to changes in results from inconclusive or pending, or duplications in results, and are normal occurrences in the day-to-day collection of complicated data.
