Happy Monday, Petaluma,

We hope you enjoyed the holiday weekend! We are very much looking forward to the sunny days ahead. These days, simple pleasures like the warmth of the sun on our faces while we sit on the front porch or the way the light falls across the living room are things to celebrate. What simple things made you smile this afternoon?
Today, we bring news of a new Public Health Order, updated resources, information on City permits, tips for how to look good on camera, local hand sanitizer sources, and more! Please enjoy – we’ll be in touch again tomorrow!

PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCY ISOLATION ORDER

On April 10, 2020, the Sonoma County Health Officer issued blanket orders for individuals who test positive for COVID-19 to isolate themselves. A related order also requires others in the same household and all close contacts of that person to quarantine.

GROCERY DELIVERY

For many in our community, going out to grocery shop is no longer an option. As part of their resources for seniors and high-risk populations, the County of Sonoma has put together a great list of local grocery delivery services, as well as stores with pickup options and senior hours.
