Dear Community: Stanislaus County’s top officials have come to the conclusion the county is one of the hot spots for coronavirus infections in California. If t...he trend is not turned around, it could lead to closure of businesses and activities that recently reopened, the county’s leading health official said. Stanislaus is one of 11 counties being closely monitored by the California Department of Public Health as they struggle with a surge in cases. The county now leads the other jurisdictions with a 28.2 percent increase in hospitalizations over three days. San Joaquin County, its neighbor to the north, is second with a 27.3 percent increase. In addition, Stanislaus has a seven-day 10.1 percent positive test rate, second only to Imperial County. The state wants counties to keep the positive test rate below 8 percent. The county has added almost 400 new cases of coronavirus in the past seven days, bringing the total count to 1,639 and 37 deaths. (Courtesy of Modesto Bee article on 6/23). On June 18th, the California Department of Public Health issued: GUIDANCE FOR THE USE OF FACE COVERINGS Because of our collective actions, California has limited the spread of COVID-19 and associated hospitalizations and deaths in our state. Still, the risk for COVID-19 remains and the increasing number of Californians who are leaving their homes for work and other needs, increases the risk for COVID-19 exposure and infection. Over the last four months, we have learned a lot about COVID-19 transmission, most notably that people who are infected but are asymptomatic or presymptomatic play an important part in community spread. The use of face coverings by everyone can limit the release of infected droplets when talking, coughing, and/or sneezing, as well as reinforce physical distancing. This document updates existing CDPH guidance for the use of cloth face coverings by the general public when outside the home. It mandates that face coverings be worn state-wide in the circumstances and with the exceptions outlined below. It does not substitute for existing guidance about social distancing and hand washing. Guidance People in California must wear face coverings when they are in the high-risk situations listed below: Inside of, or in line to enter, any indoor public space; Obtaining services from the healthcare sector in settings including, but not limited to, a hospital, pharmacy, medical clinic, laboratory, physician or dental office, veterinary clinic, or blood bank; Waiting for or riding on public transportation or para-transit or while in a taxi, private car service, or ride-sharing vehicle; Engaged in work, whether at the workplace or performing work off-site, when: Interacting in-person with any member of the public; Working in any space visited by members of the public, regardless of whether anyone from the public is present at the time; Working in any space where food is prepared or packaged for sale or distribution to others; Working in or walking through common areas, such as hallways, stairways, elevators, and parking facilities; In any room or enclosed area where other people (except for members of the person’s own household or residence) are present when unable to physically distance. Driving or operating any public transportation or para-transit vehicle, taxi, or private car service or ride-sharing vehicle when passengers are present. When no passengers are present, face coverings are strongly recommended. While outdoors in public spaces when maintaining a physical distance of 6 feet from persons who are not members of the same household or residence is not feasible. The following individuals are exempt from wearing a face covering: Persons age two years or under. These very young children must not wear a face covering because of the risk of suffocation. Persons with a medical condition, mental health condition, or disability that prevents wearing a face covering. This includes persons with a medical condition for whom wearing a face covering could obstruct breathing or who are unconscious, incapacitated, or otherwise unable to remove a face covering without assistance. Persons who are hearing impaired, or communicating with a person who is hearing impaired, where the ability to see the mouth is essential for communication. Persons for whom wearing a face covering would create a risk to the person related to their work, as determined by local, state, or federal regulators or workplace safety guidelines. Persons who are obtaining a service involving the nose or face for which temporary removal of the face covering is necessary to perform the service. Persons who are seated at a restaurant or other establishment that offers food or beverage service, while they are eating or drinking, provided that they are able to maintain a distance of at least six feet away from persons who are not members of the same household or residence. Persons who are engaged in outdoor work or recreation such as swimming, walking, hiking, bicycling, or running, when alone or with household members, and when they are able to maintain a distance of at least six feet from others. Note: Persons exempted from wearing a face covering due to a medical condition who are employed in a job involving regular contact with others should wear a non-restrictive alternative, such as a face shield with a drape on the bottom edge, as long as their condition permits it.
