<\/p>\nSan Andreas, CA…Today, the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) confirmed that Calaveras County will be added to the County Monitoring List. This means that starting Thursday August 20, 2020, at 1:00AM, the following industries or activities will be required to shut down unless they can be modified to operate outside or by pick-up.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\uf0b7 Gyms and fitness centers
\n\uf0b7 Places of worship and cultural ceremonies, like weddings and funerals
\n\uf0b7 Offices for non-critical infrastructure sectors
\n\uf0b7 Personal care services, like nail salons and body waxing
\n\uf0b7 Hair salons and barbershops
\n\uf0b7 Shopping malls<\/p>\n
Shops that offer tattoos, piercings and electrolysis may not be operated outdoors and must close. In addition, any schools that have not yet started the school year will not have the option to conduct in-person learning with modifications and will be required to conduct distance learning only until Calaveras County remains off the County Monitoring List for 14 consecutive days. Schools that have already started the school year will not be required to move to distance learning educational delivery only.<\/p>\n
\u201cDespite this setback, we encourage our whole community to be vigilant everywhere they go. Practice physical distancing, wear a face covering, get tested, wash your hands often, and stay home if you are sick,\u201d said Dr. Dean Kelaita, Calaveras County Health Officer. \u201cThis virus spreads mainly person-to-person. People need to make it a point to avoid any gatherings including places where physical distancing and masking is not being followed. That\u2019s how we slow the spread and that\u2019s how we get off the monitoring list.\u201d<\/p>\n
Calaveras County has been added to the monitoring list because we are experiencing increased disease transmission and hospitalization levels that exceed the metrics outlined by the CDPH.<\/p>\n
Currently, all counties statewide must close indoor operations in these sectors:
\n\uf0b7 Dine-in restaurants
\n\uf0b7 Wineries and tasting rooms
\n\uf0b7 Movie theaters
\n\uf0b7 Family entertainment centers (for example: bowling alleys, miniature golf, batting cages and arcades)
\n\uf0b7 Zoos and museums
\n\uf0b7 Cardrooms<\/p>\n
Additionally, bars, brewpubs, breweries, and pubs must close all operations both indoor and outdoor statewide, unless they are offering sit-down, outdoor dining. Alcohol can only be sold in the same transaction as a meal.<\/p>\n
The best ways to avoid exposure to the virus are to:
\n\uf0b7 Stay home if you are sick
\n\uf0b7 Stay at least 6 feet away from people outside of your household
\n\uf0b7 Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds
\n\uf0b7 Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands
\n\uf0b7 Wear a face covering over your nose and mouth when around others<\/p>\n
Symptoms can appear 2-14 days after exposure to the virus. People with these symptoms may have COVID-19:
\nLook for emergency warning signs for COVID-19. If someone is showing signs, seek emergency care immediately:
\n\uf0b7 Fever or chills
\n\uf0b7 Cough
\n\uf0b7 Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
\n\uf0b7 Fatigue
\n\uf0b7 Muscle or body aches
\n\uf0b7 Headache
\n\uf0b7 New loss of taste or smell
\n\uf0b7 Sore throat
\n\uf0b7 Congestion or runny nose
\n\uf0b7 Nausea or vomiting
\n\uf0b7 Diarrhea
\n\uf0b7 Trouble breathing
\n\uf0b7 New confusion or weakness
\n\uf0b7 Bluish lips or face
\n\uf0b7 Persistent pain or pressure in the chest
\n\uf0b7 Inability to wake or stay awake<\/p>\n
