I hope this finds you well.

Beginning tomorrow, March 3, Santa Clara County will allow a broader range of outdoor activities to resume, including indoor dining, now that we have moved into the Red Tier in the State of California's Blueprint for a Safer Economy.

The following changes are effective beginning March 3:
  • All activities authorized under the State’s Red Tier, including indoor dining, can resume in accordance with State capacity limits and safety protocols, including:
    • Indoor dining at maximum 25% capacity or 100 people, whichever is fewer;
    • Retail stores at maximum 50% capacity;
    • Gyms and fitness centers at maximum 10% capacity;
    • Movie theaters at maximum 25% capacity or 100 people, whichever is fewer; and
    • Zoos, museums, and aquariums at 25% maximum indoor capacity.
  • Sector and activity-specific local directives will no longer be in effect.
  • The Mandatory Directive on Travel will no longer be in effect.
Although more activities are allowed under the Red Tier, indoor activities remain a much higher risk than outdoor activities. Everyone should continue to take every step possible to reduce the risk of exposure as much as possible.

To keep yourself, your family, your friends and neighbors, and our broader community safe, follow these core principles:

Stay outdoors. Outdoor activities are far safer than indoor ones. 

Stay masked. Consistent use of face coverings both indoors and outdoors, especially double-masking, is very effective at preventing spread of the coronavirus.

Maintain at least 6-foot distance from others. Social distancing from those who do not live with you is effective at keeping the coronavirus away.
Avoid crowds. The fewer people you encounter and the fewer interactions you have, the lower the chance the virus will spread.

Get vaccinated when it is your turn. All federally approved vaccines work well and will help keep you, your family, and your friends safe.


It is also important for those who are at risk of exposure to COVID-19 to continue getting tested regularly. Testing is now more accessible than ever, with mobile testing buses going to new neighborhoods each week and saliva collection offered at pop-up sites to provide an easier, less invasive experience.

The County provides COVID-19 tests free of charge, regardless of immigration status, and no doctor’s note is needed. For people without COVID-19 symptoms, the County currently offers indoor and drive-through sites. People with symptoms are directed to drive-through sites to reduce the chance of getting others sick. All test sites are mapped on the County’s website at www.sccfreetest.org. The site is available in English, Spanish, Vietnamese, Chinese, and Tagalog. Information is also available by calling 2-1-1.

 
 
The Biden Administration has made a new round of Paycheck Protection Program loans available for small businesses with 20 or fewer employees or sole proprietors. The deadline to apply is 2 p.m. Pacific Time on March 9, 2021.

The Biden Administration has made several positive changes to this round of Paycheck Protection including revising the funding formula to allocate more money to sole proprietors, independent contractors, and the self-employed.  they have also eliminated student loan debt delinquency as a disqualifier for loan eligibility and are allowing lawful U.S. residents small business owners, regardless of citizenship status, to apply.

Paycheck Protection Programs loans are fully forgivable provided the business owner meets certain criteria.

You can find more information about loan forgiveness and all other aspects of program, and get matched with a lender here.

Spring has sprung, and that means it's Bare Roots season at Our City Forest in San Jose.

Their community nursery is receiving its annual shipment of bare root trees on March 9th, and they need volunteers to help pot these saplings.

If you love getting your hands dirty, and want to get outside and enjoy this mild winter we are having, then Bare Roots is the place for you. Check out their volunteer calendar here, and sign up for an available shift! 

 

Be well,
 
Cindy
