Governor Newsom Outlines Six Critical Indicators the State will Consider Before Modifying the Stay-at-Home Order
This week, Governor Gavin Newsom unveiled the six indicators that will be used to guide the decision to modify the current stay-at-home orders:
  • The ability to monitor and protect our communities through testing, contact tracing, isolation, and supporting those who are positive or exposed;
  • The ability to prevent infection in people who are at risk for more severe COVID-19;
  • The ability of the hospital and health systems to handle surges;
  • The ability to develop therapeutics to meet the demand;
  • The ability for businesses, schools, and child care facilities to support physical distancing;
  • The ability to determine when to reinstate certain measures, such as the stay-at-home orders, if necessary
How can the Altadena Libraries support YOU?

During this health crisis, the Altadena Libraries want to do everything we can to help our communities deal with this "new normal." We'd love your input and suggestions on the types of topics, programs, and community spaces that resonate with you most during this period of physical distancing.
