This Friday marks the 5th week in a row that I’m writing about COVID-19 in this e-newsletter. Five weeks ago, the City began providing information about precautionary measures everyone should be taking, and began planning for continuity of essential City services. Since that time, every day of every week has brought more information about the spread of the virus, and more and increasing City, County, State, and Federal actions. This week we
closed beach parking lots. We all need to heed the expert advice of health professionals, shelter in place, and practice social-distancing. Last weekend’s crowded beaches and parking lots were not conducive to these important practices. Don’t try to drive to the beach, or even to a regional park. Walk or run around your neighborhood instead. The more everyone shelters in place, the more chance we’ll have of being able to eventually (and sooner) return to life as we knew it in Pacifica.
The City continues to maintain this
webpage about the Coronavirus as the primary portal of information from the City, including Key Updates such as yesterday’s
letter from the Mayor. Please do your part to share this information with family, friends, and neighbors you know who may not have on-line access. Take care of yourself, your family, your friends, and your neighbors.
Does Shelter in Place have you losing your marbles?
Are you looking for a way to stay connected?
Parks, Beaches, & Recreation have launched a Virtual Community Center. The purpose of the page is to provide information, connect you to our community, and give ideas to have fun at home while we shelter in place.

Public Service Announcements
BAG IT, DON'T FLUSH IT
Wet Wipes Wreaking Havoc
While everyone is encouraged to follow the CDC recommendations to clean surfaces with disinfecting wipes to reduce the spread of COVID-19, it is important to DISCARD THOSE ITEMS IN THE TRASH, not the toilet.
If you need some motivating reminders, see the articles below detailing what has happened elsewhere when pipes were overloaded with non-flushable items.
Please note: This newsletter is sent weekly on Friday and content is current at that time. Those who have not opened the email by Monday receive a reminder email, and some content may no longer be current.
