COVID-19: Are California's farmers markets at risk of getting shut down?

I went to the Palo Alto California Avenue farmers market every week since the pandemic began. They now instituted lines to get in and out of certain more popular stalls like Tomatero, Borba. Took a while to get in, because even if you only one specific thing, you’ll have to wait your turn in the line. I am ok with that, but the overall business for the market is way down. Sparse crowd. Tough times for the farmers, especially those who don’t have a CSA program.
