LA County Department of Public Health Issues Reminders for the Holiday Weekend
As we approach Passover and Easter, Los Angeles County continues to remind all residents that the Health Officer’s  Safer at Home   order remains in full effect. 

This week is Holy Week, and it is a time when many want to be with their family and faith communities. Dr. Barbara Ferrer, PhD, MPH, MEd, Director of Los Angeles County Public Health, applauded the faith-based organizations that are finding ways to reach out to people online through virtual services and the people who are finding ways to practice their faith together -- from afar. She asked that any planned gatherings in person, as well as in cars, be canceled and sent a reminder that the order prohibits such physical gatherings.

The Safer at Home order directs all members of the public to help slow the spread of COVID-19 by practicing social distancing and taking common sense infection control precautions:
  • Stay home (stay unexposed and do not expose others)
  • Only go out for essential services or if they are an essential worker
  • Stay six feet or more away from others
  • Not gather in groups of any size

Though the need to connect with friends and family is strong, group meals and social gatherings make social distancing difficult, and therefore, put everyone at risk. While family members and contacts living together within a household can go for a walk in the neighborhood, contact with individuals from outside of the household should occur only virtually. Use social media and digital tools to connect, because face-to-face interactions with individuals from other households are prohibited under the Safer at Home order.
Reminder: Altadena is an unincorporated area of Los Angeles County, so all community services (public health, emergency, law enforcement, etc.), except for the Altadena Libraries, are operated through Los Angeles County. The Altadena Library is an independent special library district.
