Stay Home Order Implemented by Bay Area Health Officers
|
Bay Area Health Officers Move to Implement the State's New Regional Stay Home Order, Not Waiting Until Local Hospitals Are Near Crisis to Act
Last Thursday, Governor Newsom announced that all sectors other than retail and essential operations would be closed in regions of the State where less than 15 percent of ICU beds are available under a new Regional Stay Home Order. Although health officials throughout the Bay Area are glad to see the State take action in light of the rapidly escalating surge in hospitalizations statewide, many believe even more aggressive action is necessary in the Bay Area to slow the surge and prevent our local hospitals from being overwhelmed.
Rather than waiting until Intensive Care Unit (ICU) bed availability reaches critical levels and delaying closures that are inevitable, the Health Officers for the Counties of Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, San Francisco, and Santa Clara as well as the City of Berkeley are jointly announcing that they will implement the State's Regional Stay Home Order now.

COVID-19: Maintaining a Safe Workplace
|
On November 19, 2020, the California Occupational Safety and Health Standards Board (OSHSB) voted to adopt comprehensive new regulations concerning COVID-19 in the workplace.
These regulations require that each employer develop and implement a broad, written COVID-19 prevention program. Some of OSHSB's emergency provisions are already integrated into previous guidelines, but many are new altogether. Since the regulations are anticipated to go into effect as quickly as November 29, 2020, employers will want to understand their implications as soon as possible.Local chambers and their members are invited to join us online for an informative 60-minute coffee chat with our compliance experts on December 15th - to "chat" about the new requirements facing employers.
