Safer at Home Variance Applications

Safer at Home status allows for a local variance process for communities to tailor social distancing policies to local conditions to promote wellness and economic stability.

Currently, the state is only granting site-specific variances. Most of the variance applications below are no longer active. To view a list of active, site-specific county variances, please visit the state’s COVID-19 dial webpage.
