COVID - 19 Response efforts :
About 86% of infections are occurring through community spread and a troubling trend is the fast-rising rates of positive cases in young adults ages 18 to 39. Although this group may see lower rates of hospitalization and severe illness, the epidemic is spreading more quickly among these residents. It is then only a matter of time before the virus is transmitted from them to more vulnerable populations. You can hear a clip of Dr. Cody talking to the Board of Supervisors on this trend here.
County Releases New Dashboards and Detailed Data Tables for COVID-19
On Monday, the County released the complete data tables underlying its published dashboards tracking COVID-19 testing, cases, deaths, and hospital utilization. Accessible online via the County’s Open Data Portal, these data tables contain full information from those dashboards, from the first cases in our area through the present. The data tables will be regularly updated to add the most recent information from the dashboards. The County closely tracks spread of disease and healthcare system response in our area and will continue to make more data available as response activities evolve. More data can be found through the Public Health Department’s Data Dashboards.
On Thursday, the County also launched a new Data Dashboard on hospital capacity. This dashboard will provide additional information on the number of patients in general acute care hospitals within the county, as well as the number and percent of all beds that are available.
Pop-up Testing Locations for the Week of July 27
The pop-up testing program operated by Santa Clara Valley Medical Center (SCVMC) continues to provide free diagnostic COVID-19 testing around the County. Nasal swab testing is free for everyone—no health insurance or doctor’s note is required. No appointment is needed; anyone can simply stop by to get tested. A list of pop-up locations can be found online here. As always, residents can find a testing location across the County at http://www.sccfreetest.org or by calling 2-1-1.
State Releases Guidelines for Outdoor Barbershops and Hair Salons
On Monday, California Department of Public Health released guidelines for barbershops and hair salons to operate outdoors in a safe environment. The document provides guidance for hair salons and barbershops to support a safe, clean, outdoor environment for workers and customers. Hair salon or barbershop owners or operators must acknowledge that lessees should only resume operations when they are ready and able to implement the necessary safety measures to provide for their safety and that of their customers.
The guidelines state that outdoor operations may be conducted under a tent, canopy, or other sun shelter as long as no more than one side is closed, allowing sufficient outdoor air movement. Salons and barbershops should not perform a service that would require a customer to have to enter the establishment.

Governor Newsom Announces New Supports for California Workers
Governor Gavin Newsom announced a host of new safeguards for California workers who face the greatest risk of COVID-19. He also committed to working with the Legislature and key stakeholders to expand critical protections like paid sick leave.
Helping Workers Isolate and Quarantine
The state will allocate existing federal funds to local public health departments and community-based organizations to assist with supportive services for isolation and quarantine. A new program, Housing for the Harvest, provides safe, temporary isolation spaces for agricultural and farmworkers who test positive or were exposed to the virus, which limits the risk of spreading COVID-19 to their coworkers or households.
Outreach and Education
This effort will leverage the public service media campaign and build a more comprehensive community engagement strategy to include work with community-based organizations, promotores, labor unions and worker advocacy groups to directly reach workers.
Support for Employees
Governor Newsom will work with the Legislature to build on previous executive action and advance worker protections. Expanded paid sick leave will provide workers financial security so they are able to stay home when sick. Similarly, workers’ compensation access helps ensure that front-line workers can quarantine and stay home from work when ill.
Employer Resources
As California businesses work to reopen, a new Employer Playbook released yesterday will guide them on how to provide a clean environment for workers and customers to reduce risk.
Strategic Enforcement
Cal/OSHA and the Labor Commissioner’s Office have strategically targeted investigations in high-risk industries, where the state has seen the most workplace outbreaks. Expedited enforcement authority and advanced reporting of health and safety hazards at work will improve enforcement outcomes. Requiring employers to report outbreaks to their local health departments will help track county transmission. Governor Newsom will work with the Legislature to establish this authority.
• California for All Small Business Month: Governor Newsom proclaimed July 2020 as Small Business Month which coincided with the start of the “Calling All Californians: #ShopSafeShopLocal” campaign. The #ShopSafeShopLocal campaign encourages shoppers in California to help small businesses operate safely during the pandemic. It also provides small business owners with resources to help them improve their online presence, including free website development and digital marketing. Find resources here.

A MESSAGE TO OUR COMMUNITY
In this time of challenge and outrage, as Americans across this country deal with the personal and professional disruptions from the COVID-19 pandemic and now march in protest of systemic racism and inequality, it is clear that we still have a long way to go. It is even more incumbent on us in the business community to model the behaviors and practices of acceptance, diversity and inclusiveness that have built this nation into the strongest economy in the world.
