Dear Parks and Recreation Participants,
The City of South San Francisco is closely monitoring the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), which is causing an outbreak of respiratory illness throughout the world. The City is coordinating with the San Mateo County Health Department and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) to obtain the most current guidance related to COVID-19. While the threat to public health is believed to remain low, we would like the community to remain pro-active in doing your part to prevent this virus.
Help prevent the spread of COVID-19, residents and patrons should do the following:
- Avoid close contact with sick people.
- Avoid touching your face, particularly your eyes, nose, and mouth.
- While sick, limit contact with others as much as possible.
- Cover your nose and mouth when you cough or sneeze.
- Clean and disinfect surfaces and objects that may be contaminated with germs.
- Follow proper handwashing techniques including using soap and water while scrubbing for a minimum of 20 seconds.
- The CDC does not recommend that people who are well wear a facemask to protect themselves from respiratory diseases, including COVID-19.
- If you feel sick with fever, cough, or difficulty breathing, and have traveled to China, Italy or Iran, or were in close contact with someone with COVID-19 in the 14 days before your began to feel sick, seek medical care. Before you go to a doctor’s office or emergency room, call ahead and tell them about your recent travel and your symptoms.
