County Supervisor Gregg Hart - Representing Santa Barbara County's Second District
Update: Local Health Emergency - Novel Coronavirus

Hello,

As Chair of the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors, I'm doing everything that I can to support the work of our local public health and emergency management professionals in preventing the spread of Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19). Please click here to visit the County's new COVID-19 website. This website is updated multiple times a day with the latest information on our local response to COVID-19. Although there have been no positive tests for COVID-19 in our community at this time, our County understands the need to take serious precautions to protect the health of our community.

Last night, the Santa Barbara County Public Health Department issued a Declaration of a Local Health Emergency, which included a social distancing mandate:
In addition to the Declaration of a Local Health Emergency, the County Executive Officer has issued a Proclamation of Local Emergency. Both actions will be ratified at the Board of Supervisors meeting on Tuesday.

Please stay informed and follow the advice of local health professionals.
