Here is the latest COVID-19 statement issued by Santa Clara County Public Health:
We are aware of the recommendations the White House issued today for our county as well as Seattle-King, Pierce, and Snohomish Counties in Washington. We are pleased that the White House has adopted many of the recommendations the County Public Health Department previously issued. However, we recommend that all community residents follow the more stringent guidance issued by the County, including the legal order to cancel all events with 1,000 or more people, and the further recommendation that all large events (including but not limited to all events of 250 or more) be canceled.
We continue to work in partnership with public health experts at the CDC, the state of California, and other significantly impacted communities to issue guidance to the public. We will continue to make decisions based on the best evidence available, locally relevant data on COVID-19, and the expertise of our public health officials.
