(the 'Fall/Winter Order') is hereby in effect through 11:59 p.m. on January 15, 2021.... Section 4. Additional Restrictions on Office-Based Settings and Remote Work. Subsection B of Section 6 of the Fall/Winter Order is replaced with the following: B. Business operations must be conducted remotely, through the individual teleworking of employees unless: 1. the operations involve the direct and in-person provision of services (such as medical services) or on-site provision of services (such as construction); 2. the City has specifically authorized the type of business activities to be conducted in person by order or regulation; or 3. on-site business operations are impossible to conduct remotely.... Reduced efficiency experienced by conducting business operations offsite does not constitute impossibility. Indoor operations are subject to density limits of no more than 5 people per 1,000 square feet of occupiable space.
