Santa Clara County announced that effective today, Wednesday, March 24, 2021, the county has moved to the Orange Tier of the Blueprint for a Safer Economy and will continue to align with the State's framework.
Santa Clara County’s October 5th Risk Reduction Order requires everyone to follow all State orders and guidance, maintain distance, and wear face coverings as much as possible. The Order also requires all businesses and other entities to maximize telework, post a Social Distancing Protocol outlining specific COVID-19 safety plans, and promptly report any cases to the Public Health Department.
Dr. Sara Cody, Health Officer and Director of Public Health encourages residents to continue to wear masks, social distance, stay outdoors as much as possible, and get vaccinated when it’s their turn.
