Dear Constituent,
I am writing to invite you to participate in a telephone Town Hall about the Shelter in Place Health Order that our counties' have directed in response to coronavirus/COVID19. The goal of this telephone Town Hall is to allow our county public health experts to explain the Health Order and why it was called, and to provide some basic answers to questions our office has been receiving about this virus and the steps that have been taken to contain its spread.
The telephone Town Hall is tomorrow, Thursday, March 19, 2020, from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30pm.
Participating experts are:
Dr. Erica Pan, Interim Health Director, Alameda County
Dr. Chris Farantino, Public Health Director, Contra Costa County
Susan Shiu, Public Information Officer, Contra Costa County
These experts will cover why our counties' have directed us to shelter in place, what the Shelter in Place Health Order means to our daily lives, what activities are allowed and not allowed, as well as other core directives contained in the Health Order. I will also provide a brief overview on various relief that has been put into place, such as the stay on all residential evictions and the elimination of the one week wait for unemployment benefits.
You may send email questions in advance that we will do our best to have answered during the telephone Town Hall. Please email your questions to Senator.Skinner@senate.ca.gov by noon, tomorrow, Thursday, March 19. Whatever questions we are unable to answer in the 1-hour time period will be responded to by my office.
There is limited capacity for this call. Those who wish to participate will need to RSVP by 12:00 p.m. tomorrow, Thursday, March 19. A follow-up email will be sent to you before the call with the call-in phone number and passcode.
