Please watch my Coronavirus Public Service Announcement above.
As my office continues to work with state and county public health officials on developments around COVID-19, I want to update you on critical developments. The Legislature approved up to $1 Billion in emergency funding for our state's efforts to fight this pandemic and the economic issues associated with this crisis. I wanted to pass along important resources for employees, workers, resources for small businesses, students, parents, seniors and more. Please feel free to share this information with anyone you think may need it.
Governor Newsom ordered all Californians to "shelter in place" and LA Mayor Garcetti issued a "Safer at home" order effective through April 19. According to these orders:
YOU CAN …
- Go to the grocery, convenience or warehouse store.
- Go to the pharmacy to pick up medications and other healthcare necessities.
- Go to medical appointments (check with your doctor or provider first).
- Go to a restaurant for take-out, delivery or drive-thru.
- Care or support a friend or family member.
- Take a walk, ride your bike, hike, jog and be in nature for exercise — just keep at least six feet between you and others in the community.
- Walk your pets and take them to the veterinarian if necessary.
- Help someone to get necessary supplies.
YOU SHOULD NOT…
- Go to work unless you are providing essential services as defined by the Order.
- Visit friends and family if there is no urgent need.
