Chair Andersen provided an overview of changes in the County's COVID-19 situation since last week's meeting:
Personal in-home services: Example, piano tuners or house cleaners. Dr. Farnitano advised that such a service would fall under later part of Phase 2 under the Governor's roadmap. The Governor has identified three groups of counties: those whose recovery would parallel the State, extremely rural with few/no cases that would recover faster than the State, and urban counties with dense population with higher numbers that would trail behind the State. The Bay Area falls into the third group. CCC initial SIP order was more restrictive than the State and our pace is a little slower than the State. The follow person commented: Shawna Garvin regarding Christian values and need to meet together in fellowship, and the negative impacts of isolation. Personal services outside the home: Example salons. Dr. Farnitano advised that these services fall under Phase of the recovery plan. Businesses should read the checklists for each industry to get prepared to open and operate safely once permitted. The County doesn't intend to create different guidelines than the State, though the County's timing might be different. Local orders will be aligned with the State's. Dr. Farnitano reviewed the varying degrees of safety depending on the type of masks worn and the distance between individuals. Health Clubs/Gyms/Swimming/ Health Clubs, Gyms and public pools (any pool not in a private home) will be covered in the State's Phase 3. There is evidence that the risk of transmission increases while people are exercising because the particles travel farther. Child camps involving stable groups of less than 12 with consistent adult supervision will be permitted for childcare for persons working during the pandemic. This exception doesn't apply to adult swimmers or public pools outside this camp setting. The follow persons commented:
Chair Andersen explained that enforcement of the Health Order is by cities. The County is providing guidance and people and businesses are expected to self-govern. (Due to technical issues with the County's virtual meeting account, the remainder of the Record of Action could not be completed.) |
