Proper Disposal of
Face Mask
|
|
Face masks are used to combat the pandemic. Most face masks are disposable and are for one time use purposes. A face mask should be disposed of when the mask becomes soiled on either side, or when the user is done with wear. But what is the proper way to dispose of a face mask when your not at home and in the community where waste containers are not available?
Step-by-Step Disposal Procedure for face masks and disposable N95 Respirator Masks:
- Remove mask from face, be gentle so as to not touch or disturb liquid and solid contaminants on the mask
- If possible - Place mask in a plastic bag – like a grocery shopping bag or a ziplock bag
- Secure bag tightly
- Place plastic bag into the garbage can or waste disposal unit
- Wash hands immediately after disposing of your mask
- Never put on a new face mask until you have properly washed your hands

Virus Spreads Risk at Holiday Celebrations |
|
Veterans Day and Thanksgiving
Celebrating virtually or with members of your own household poses low risk for spread. In-person gatherings pose varying levels of risk. Event organizers and attendees should consider the risk of virus spread based on event size and use of mitigation strategies, as outlined in the Considerations for Events and Gatherings. There are several factors that contribute to the risk of getting infected or infecting others with the virus that causes COVID-19 at a holiday celebration. In combination, these factors will create various amounts of risk, so it is important to consider them individually and together:
-
Community levels of COVID-19 – Higher levels of COVID-19 cases and community spread in the gathering location, as well as where attendees are coming from, increase the risk of infection and spread among attendees. Family and friends should consider the number and rate of COVID-19 cases in their community and in the community where they plan to celebrate when considering whether to host or attend a holiday celebration. Information on the number of cases in an area can be found on the area’s health department website.
-
The location of the gathering – Indoor gatherings generally pose more risk than outdoor gatherings. Indoor gatherings with poor ventilation pose more risk than those with good ventilation, such as those with open windows or doors.
-
The duration of the gathering – Gatherings that last longer pose more risk than shorter gatherings.
-
The number of people at the gathering – Gatherings with more people pose more risk than gatherings with fewer people. CDC does not have a limit or recommend a specific number of attendees for gatherings. The size of a holiday gathering should be determined based on the ability to reduce or limit contact between attendees, the risk of spread between attendees, and state, local, territorial, or tribal health and safety laws, rules, and regulations.
-
The locations attendees are traveling from – Gatherings with attendees who are traveling from different places pose a higher risk than gatherings with attendees who live in the same area. Higher levels of COVID-19 cases and community spread in the gathering location, or where attendees are coming from, increase the risk of infection and spread among attendees.
-
The behaviors of attendees prior to the gathering – Gatherings with attendees who are not adhering to social distancing (staying at least 6 feet apart), mask wearing, hand washing, and other prevention behaviors pose more risk than gatherings with attendees who are engaging in these preventative behaviors.
-
The behaviors of attendees during the gathering – Gatherings with more preventive measures in place, such as mask wearing, social distancing, and hand washing, pose less risk than gatherings where fewer or no preventive measures are being implemented.

Testing is widely available within the provider community. Residents who have a regular source of health care should first seek testing from their healthcare provider if they are symptomatic or have a known positive exposure.
Those without a regular provider can call the County’s 2-1-1 information line for assistance or click the link below to schedule a free appointment through Los Angeles County.

Flu Vaccination Recommended |
|
Flu is more than a bad cold. Flu can be mild to severe, and at times can lead to life-threatening illness, hospitalization or death. This year, flu and COVID-19 will be circulating in communities throughout LA County, and both can cause serious illness. The best way to protect yourself and your family from the flu, is to all get a flu immunization. |

Don’t be a part of this statistic: Over 770,000 drivers fall victim to vehicle theft each year. In fact, a vehicle is stolen about every 41 seconds in America. With July being Vehicle Theft Prevention Month, it’s a good time to remind yourself of a few simple, yet important tips to prevent your car from being stolen — a crime that totaled about $6 billion in 2017.
Don’t Make Your Vehicle a Target
Nearly half of vehicle theft is due to driver error, such as leaving your keys in the vehicle.
- Always: take your keys with you, close your windows and lock the doors, and park in well-lit areas.
- Never: leave valuables in your vehicle, especially where they can be seen, or leave the area while your vehicle is running.
Protect Your Vehicle
There are several different types of antitheft systems and devices designed to make vehicles more difficult to steal, or easier to trace and recover. Here’s how some of them work:
-
Audible and Visible Devices. Alarms deter theft because they’ll loudly bring attention to someone trying to get into your car. Steering wheel locks and theft-deterrent decals warn a would-be thief to stay away.
-
Immobilizing-Type Devices. This antitheft system makes it nearly impossible for thieves to hot-wire your vehicle.
-
Vehicle Recovery Systems. If your vehicle is stolen and has this system, law enforcement may be able to tap into this electronic transmission technology and locate your vehicle — and other stolen vehicles.
Where’s My Ride?
If you find yourself in the unfortunate situation where your vehicle has been stolen, follow these steps:
- Contact police immediately to file a stolen-vehicle report. You’ll need a copy of the police report and/or a case number to provide to your insurance company. You may also be asked to provide the following information:
- license plate number;
- make, model, and color of your vehicle; and
- vehicle identification number (VIN) and any identifying characteristics.
- Contact your insurance company to file a claim within 24 hours of when you discovered your vehicle was stolen.
- If you find your vehicle before authorities do, contact the police and your insurance company immediately.
