March 16, 2024, will mark the four-year anniversary of the initial shelter-in-place order issued by Bay Area public health officers in response to a rapidly growing COVID-19 pandemic.
The order on March 16, 2020, directed residents to limit activity, travel, and business functions to only the most essential needs for a three-week period beginning the following day.
Marin residents had no way of knowing the long haul they had ahead of them, with more than 50 subsequent COVID-related Marin County public health orders still to come before they petered out in the fall of 2023.
