C
Hello
and
thank
you
for
joining
us
today.
Three
weeks
ago,
the
county
of
santa
clara,
in
partnership
with
a
coalition
of
community-based
organizations,
launched
the
community
health
and
business
engagement
team
initiative,
spearheaded
by
president
chavez
and
led
by
our
public
health
department
and
the
office
of
labor
standards
enforcement.
Today,
we're
going
to
tell
you
more
about
our
work
and
what
that
means
to
the
community.
I
just
want
to
let
you
right
now,
first,
that
none
of
our
speakers
will
be
keeping
their
face
coverings
on.
C
We
are
outside,
but
it's
under
an
awning
and
there's
a
lot
of
people
here.
That's
all
who's,
all
probably
socially
distant,
so
we'll
be
keeping
our
face.
Carving
on
today,
the
community
health
and
business
engagement
team,
also
known
as
chevette,
is
divergent
in
vital
endeavor
in
our
fight
against
cloven
19..
C
The
program
partners
with
our
community
based
organizations
to
reach
the
most
vulnerable
communities
who
have
experienced
disproportionate
rates
of
this
virus,
you'll
hear
from
our
county
leadership
and
partners
today
about
what
this
means
to
us
as
a
community
to
our
efforts
to
slow
the
spread
of
covet
19.
What
everyone
can
expect
when
our
teams
are
in
your
area,
there
will
be
time
for
q
a
at
the
end,
followed
by
media
availability
with
each
of
our
speakers.
C
C
C
C
And
we
didn't
have
to
think
long
and
hard
about
how
to
do
that.
Because
we've
already
had
experience
here
using
a
promotorus
model
to
have
leaders
in
the
community
educate
others
in
the
community
about
what
to
do
with
everything
from
mammographies
to
when
you
have
a
new
a
newborn
and
how
to
be
able
to
support
that
child.
C
So
the
board
of
supervisors
invested
a
million
of
actually
a
million
point
five
and
being
able
to
advance
this
with
our
non-profit
partners
to
look
at
new
ways
to
do
outreach
and
recognizing
that
for
many
people
in
our
community,
the
very
best
way
to
do
that
is
in
a
socially
distanced
manner,
but
face-to-face
or
through
a
trusted
non-profit
partner.
That
already
knows
the
family.
C
D
Cody
well,
thank
you
all
for
being
here
in
the
heart
of
the
east
side,
on
a
beautiful
day
where
the
sky
is
actually
blue.
I
was
driving
over
and
thinking.
I
never
thought
I
would
draw
so
much
pleasure
and
joy
from
clean
air,
so
very
grateful
for
the
cleanup
we
have
today
and
let's
enjoy
it
while
it's
while
it's
here.
D
So
I
I
just
I
was
just
thinking
about
this
business
and
community
engagement
team
that
has
risen
out
of
our
need
to
protect
people
during
copen.
But
this
team
and
this
work
is
only
possible
because
of
the
partnerships
and
trust
that
we've
built
over
the
year
over
the
years
working
in
partnership
with
community
right.
D
Here
we
are
in
front
of
where
a
little
tiny
piece
of
our
public
health
department
now
lives,
part
of
our
healthy
communities,
branch
and
public
health,
nursing
services,
and
that's
because
we
finally
came
to
the
realization
that,
in
order
to
be
most
helpful
to
communities,
we
needed
to
live
in
community
and
work
with
communities,
and
so
because
of
those
partnerships
that
we
that
we
built
we're
able
to
continue.
Really
the
public
health
way
of
working,
which
is
to
be
in
service
to
community
and
work
alongside
community
helpful.
D
People
have
lost
family
members,
people
have
lost
cherished
members
of
the
community,
and
the
rates
of
infection
here
have
been
higher
than
they
have
been
in
other
places
in
our
county,
and
we
know
that
members
of
this
community
have
had
to
make
extraordinarily
difficult
tradeoffs
between
their
health
and
their
work
and
how
they
will
support
and
nourish
their
family,
and
we
know
that
there
are
many
reasons
why
kubin
may
be
spreading
a
bit
more
easily
here
than
in
other
communities.
But
the
question
is
why,
and
what
can
we
do
to
help?
D
What
can
we
do
to
help
protect
people,
so
the
work
that
all
of
our
partners-
and
most
many
of
whom
are
here
today
are
doing-
is
really
critical
to
helping
all
of
us
better
understand
the.
Why
and
what
we
can
do,
and
it
ranges
from
everything
to
getting
information
from
trusted
leaders
to
having
access
to
testing
where
and
when
you
need
it,
as
well
as
to
having
access
to
resources
that
you
need
to
protect
yourself
and
your
family,
like
child
care
or
groceries
or
help
paying
the
rent.
D
So
we're
supporting
the
county
is
providing
financial
support
and
partnering
with
community
organizations
to
enable
community
leaders
to
do
what
they
know
is
best
for
their
own
communities.
So
we
are
really
pleased
to
say
that
the
rates
of
infection
here
in
this
community
on
the
east
side
are
decreasing
over
the
last
month,
quite
dramatically.
D
E
E
I
am
a
deputy
county
executive
and
proud
to
serve
as
a
co-lead
public
information
officer
for
the
emergency
operations
center.
Our
county
executive,
jeff
smith,
dr
jeff
smith,
could
not
be
here,
but
he
wanted
to
send
a
very
clear
message
that
we're
very
proud
of
the
actions
taken
by
our
board
to
invest
more
than
a
million
dollars,
1.5
million.
As
president
chavez
said,
to
make
sure
that
the
hardest
hit
communities
the
hardest
hit
by
kobe
19
that
they
have
all
the
tools
they
need
to
protect
themselves
as
a
county.
E
We
are
proud
of
that
investment
and
we
know
that
it's
not
just
about
telling
people
what
we
think
they
should
do,
but
actually
having
people
from
these
communities
being
a
part
of
that
conversation
that
that
means
a
great
deal
to
these
communities
when
you
have
community-based
organizations
and
community
leaders
speaking
to
them
so
to
them
on
behalf
of
jeff
smith.
Thank
you
very
much
for
partnering
with
the
county
and
we
are
proud
to
see
the
numbers
drop.
As
dr
cody
noted.
E
C
Hi
everyone
at
this
time
we're
going
to
start
inviting
our
community
partners
to
the
mic
to
tell
more
about
their
work
and
what
our
community
members
can
expect
to
see
when
our
teams
come
into
the
community.
So,
first
up
we're
going
to
have
our
business
engagement,
team,
community
partners
and
the
business
engagement
team.
You
know
and
the
plan
for
outreach
there
was
created
on
a
community
engagement
framework
that
was
already
in
place
with
the
office
of
labor
standard
enforcement
and
the
fair
workplace
collaborative
a
coalition
of
seven
community-based
organizations
specializing
in
small
business
education.
Outreach.
F
Now,
whether
you're
a
restaurant
owner,
a
grocery
store,
nail
salon
owner
worker
or
a
customer,
we
all
share
same
interest.
We
all
want
to
know
what
we
can
do
to
keep
ourselves
and
others
safe
in
this
moment,
and
that's
exactly
what
our
team
has
been
doing.
Every
single
day,
we
have
a
team
who
some
of
them
are
here
with
us.
Today
we
have
a
team
of
24
community
outreach
workers
in
various
languages,
knocking.
G
F
Small
business
doors
to
ensure
business
and
understand
the
public
health
order,
educate
and
explain
what
roles
and
responsibilities
they
have
and
ensure
workers
know
what
resources
are
available
to
them.
We
are
here
to
serve
our
communities,
we're
here,
to
provide
tools
and
ensure
businesses
can
continue
to
reopen
safely,
protect
its
workers
and
protect
its
customers.
F
We
are
proud
to
partner
on
this,
and
we
have
one
message
for
businesses
and
workers
that
see
us
at
their
doors.
We
are
here
to
help.
We
are
here
for
you
and
I
want
to
turn
it
over
to
one
of
our
outreach
team
members
to
share
what
to
expect.
You
can
already
see
her
beautiful
shirt.
Her
bag
she's
got
tons
of
materials
in
her
bag
and
she's
going
to
show
you.
So
you
know
when
she's
at
your
door.
What
to.
C
My
name
is
hidden:
I'm
a
community
santa
clara
county
business
engagement
team,
I'm
part
of
that
team,
so
we
are
here
to
help
businesses
and
their
workers.
I
currently
died
in
san
jose
for
the
past
five
years,
but
got
me
into
this
position.
Was
the
opportunity
to
work
closely
with
our
community
and
helping
people
stay
safe?
C
C
We
do
have
ids
that
show
our
pictures
on
them
as
well.
So
that's
something
to
expect
when
we
are
out
there
in
the
field
when
we
do
approach
these
businesses,
our
goal
is
just
to
educate,
provide
resources
to
see
if
they
have
questions
or
any
safety
concerns.
Regarding
anything
that
we
go
over,
it's
very
rewarding
when
we're
out
there
in
the
field
to
see
employees
taking
advantage
of
these
resources
that
we
give
them.
C
How
convenient
testing
is
that
it's
free
that
there's
pop-up
sites,
they
don't
need
health
insurance
for
some
of
them,
they
can
walk
in.
They
don't
have
to
make
an
appointment,
and
so
those
are
things
that
people
really
like
to
see.
We
like
to
see
how
they're
impacted
and
how
they
can.
They
feel
really
relieved
being
able
to
talk
to
somebody
about
what
they
don't
have.
They
need
more
resources.
C
We
provide
people
with
floor
marketing.
That's
those
are
things
that
we
carry
around
in
our
bags
with
us.
We
carry
mass
for
those
who
may
not
have
it.
We
provide
funding
alternatives
because
a
lot
of
businesses
are
impacted
by
what's
going
on,
and
we
like
to
follow
up
with
a
lot
of
these
differences
to
see.
Did
they
reach
the
resources
that
they
needed?
C
C
Thank
you
so
much
so
selling
our
apartment
and
community
to
really
outreach
to
businesses
and
workers.
We
do
have
a
parallel
operation
that
works
in
conjunction
under
the
tibet
banner
that
specializes
in
community
outreach
residential
outreach.
These
are
the
folks
in
your
neighborhoods,
on
your
blog.
These
are
led
by
this.
C
Is
this
effort
led
by
community-based
organizations
that
are
going
to
be
very
familiar
to
everyone
watching
today
they
have
been
around
for
a
very
long
time
doing
this
work
for
a
very
long
time
as
a
part
of
their
course
at
a
value
conserving
community,
and
this
is
really
built
on
a
promotors
model.
That's
been
a
long-standing
tradition
of
the
public
health
department
and
which
continues
to
flourish
under
the
leadership
of
dr
sarah
cody.
So
we're
very
proud
of
these
efforts
and
are
very
honored
to
have
our
community
apartments
with
us
today.
C
H
H
H
According
to
the
santa
clara
county,
soviet
united
testing
officer
in
san
jose
and
portions
of
seoul
campuses
have
the
highest
possibility:
positivity
testing,
positivity
testing
positive
rates
have
been
dropping
slowly.
Success
besides,
residents
remain
disproportionately
infected
with
coronavirus.
H
The
system
collective
has
put
our
team
of
training
promoters
or
we
like
to
call
ourselves
the
salute.
Communitario
together,
our
fire
organization
work
in
concept
and
active
networks
to
ensure
our
strategies
approached
an
extensive
effort
and
rooted
in
a
community
where
resilient
families
have
confidence
and
trust.
H
H
H
C
Another
distinctive
aspect
of
our
community
health
and
business
engagement
team
initiative
is
our
presence
in
our
community
clinics,
so
our
outreach
workers
are
also
in
the
community
clinic
leveraging
the
trusted
relationship
and
the
long-term
tradition
of
service
to
our
community.
So
today
we
have
julia
barba,
deputy
director
of
community
program
for
the
community
health
partnership
to
share
more
about
that.
C
Good
morning,
members
were
friends.
Thank
you
for
being
here
today
to
learn
more
about
this
important
work
happening
in
our
county.
My
name
is
julia
barbos
representing
the
community
health
partnership,
an
association
of
10
community
health
centers
throughout
the
county,
most
of
which
are
located
in
the
zip
codes
with
the
highest
rates
of
over
19,
with
support
from
the
santa
clara
county
board
of
supervisors.
C
We
have
created
a
program
get
out
of
test
that
places,
staff
and
community
health
workers
in
our
clinics
and
in
strategic
disposal
throughout
the
county,
for
free
purposes,
was
to
educate
community
members
and
patients
regarding
social
distancing.
The
importance
of
wearing
face
masks
hand
washing
to
reduce
the
transmission
of
12
in
19
2.
To
answer
questions
regarding
the
importance
of
questions,
what
it
means
to
be
foreign
and
isolated
and
referrals
to
community
resources
and,
ultimately
to
encourage
everyone
to
get
out
of
tests.
As
a
result.
C
Our
community
health
centers
continue
to
play
a
major
role
in
reducing
the
rate
of
token
magazine
through
this
program.
It
is
only
through
the
linguistically
and
culturally
sensitive
community-based
approaches
such
as
the
west
highlighted
here
today
that
we
will
be
able
to
reduce
the
rate
of
holding
19
in
our
county's
hardest
students.
I
Communities,
hello,
everybody.
My
name
is
milan
valentin.
I
am
the
executive
director
of
the
african
american
community
service
agency
and
I'm
speaking
today
on
behalf
of
albert
burrell,
who
is
the
associate
director
of
roots
community
health
clinic
as
well
as
yvonne,
maxwell
of
ujima
family
and
adult
services
and
andre
chapman
of
unity
care.
Our
collective
is
working
together
to
empower
and
educate
and
provide
epe
to
the
african-american
african
ancestry
and
black
communities
in
santa
clara
county.
I
The
question
that
we
have
to
ask
ourselves
is:
are
we
going
to
allow
a
virus
which
we
cannot
see
with
our
natural
eyes
when
or
are
we
going
to
beat
the
virus
together
as
a
people?
We
side
with
the
people
and
we
are
in
the
communities
passing
out
mass
love
hand,
sanitizer
and
love
as
well?
We
are
making
sure
that
we
check
on
our
senior
citizens
in
our
communities
that
are
currently
isolated.
We
have
several
community
workers
on
college
campuses
at
san
jose
state,
university
and
santa
clara
university.
I
I
Many
will
say:
well:
the
african-american
community
is
less
than
three
percent
of
the
population,
that's
still
a
lot
of
people
and
we
know
that
the
african-american
community
and
the
black
community
is
showing
high
statistical
rates
on
getting
this
violent
design
from
us.
So
we
need
to
pay
attention.
We
need
to
invest
and
therefore
we
thank
the
for
being
a
leader
in
making
sure
that
fulfilling
your
behavior
making
sure
that
all
of
us
have
community
non-profits
work
together.
I
C
E
I
apologize
we
wanted
to
take
this
opportunity,
as
you
can
see,
I'm
wearing
my
census
2020
face
covering,
and
you
can
see
here,
monica
tom
who
actually
has
been
along
with
nick
puada
and
miguel
santiago
spearheading
the
census
outreach.
So
you
can
see
our
census.
Workers
will
be
wearing
this
t-shirt
and
we
have
about
seven
days
left
in
the
census
and
the
response
rate
in
some
parts
of
the
county
like
east
san
jose.
E
South
county
is
not
as
high
as
it
could
be,
so
we
have
about
a
week
to
make
sure
that
everyone
who
hasn't
responded
to
the
census
response-
and
we
are
again
you
know-
proud
and
thankful
to
president
thomas
who
spearheaded
the
effort
to
add
more
resources
to
that
effort.
So
if
you
haven't
filled
out
the
census,
make
sure
you
do
and
make
sure
that
you
talk
to
every
family
member
every
one
of
your
neighbors
to
make
sure
that
they
do
fill
out
the
census.
Thank
you
very
much.
C
J
Yeah
with
so
many
small
businesses
having
a
hard
time
even
staying
in
business,
what
role
does
health
have
in
keeping
a
business
afloat?
Is
it
a
choice
that
some
business
owners
have
to
make
between
business
and
maybe
discerning
some
of
the
health
laws?
And
what
do
you
tell
people
about
that?
Okay,.
C
So
let
me
show
you
some.
The
question
was
so
many
businesses
struggling
to
stay
open
or
stay
at
slope
during
this
time?
How
do
we
address
businesses
that
have
to
make
the
decision
point
between
staying
in
business
and
also
possibly
starting
some
of
the
rules
or
laws,
because
it's
just
this
is
really
overwhelming
for
them
right
now.
I
can
help
answer
that
and
see
maria
in
a
while
she's
still
in
the
audience,
but
you
know
that's
exactly.
The
scenario
that
you
just
presented
is
exactly
the
reason
why
we
have
a
business
engagement
team.
C
We
want
to
be
able
to
facilitate
compliance
in
a
way
that
is
proactive.
That
is
easy.
You
know
our
directives
are
carefully
designed
in
place
to
balance
these
these
priorities,
but
the
part,
but
with
the
main
goal
of
making
sure
that
all
workers,
business
owners
and
customers
are
safe
going
into
the
business,
because
life
must
go
on.
C
This
is
going
to
be
how
we
keep
it
going,
making
sure
that
everyone
is
in
compliance
on
the
same
protocol
to
protect
their
health,
the
workers
that
they
interact
with
and
the
families
and
communities
that
they
come
home
to.
So
we
come
out
on
site
to
provide
education.
We
do
not
find
we
do
not
penalize.
This
team
does
not
do
any
of
that.
If
they
observe
a
potential
violation,
they
will
not
report
it.
They
will
address
it
with
the
business
owner.
C
F
Just
to
say
that
what
we're
hearing
from
our
outreach
workers
every
single
day
that
time
and
time
again,
businesses
want
this
information.
Businesses
want
to
work
with
our
outreach
workers,
are
opening
their
doors
and
are
welcoming
this
information
so
that
they
can
continue
to
get
back
to
work
and
do
it
in
a
safe
way.
And
so
the
business
team
is
working
very
closely
with
all
these
small
business
owners.
And
we
want
to
continue
to
see
this
incredible
partnership
with
folks
on
the
ground.
C
D
Thank
you.
So
the
question
is
around
indoor
dining.
So,
as
you
know,
the
county
is
now
in
the
red
tier.
The
state
framework
would
allow
indoor
dining.
The
state
framework
is
a
floor
for
counties
and
then
counties
may
make
their
own
judgment
about
their
own
communities
and
determine
what's
safe.
I
just
will
note
that
in
the
bay
area,
san
francisco,
santa
clara
and
alameda
counties
have
all
decided
to
just
pause
on
indoor,
dining
and
I'll.
Explain
why,
when
you're
dining
indoors,
you
have
to
take
off
your
face
and
what
we're?
D
What
we're
learning
more
and
more,
is
that
clove
it
is
spread.
You
know
a
little
bit
by
touching
things,
but
that's
not
the
main
way.
We're
mostly
concerned
about
his
friend
through
the
air
by
by
either
droplets
that
you
could
see
or
finer
droplets
that
might
walk
in
the
air.
So
the
importance
of
face
coverings
that
they're
all
wearing
now
is
critical
and
you
just
can't
dine
with
the
face
covering
on
so
any
activity,
that's
indoors.
D
That
requires
you
to
remove
your
face,
covering
we're
just
not
comfortable
with
that.
Yet
I
want
to
say
that
we
we
are
starting
to
make
progress
again.
We've
had
a
little
bit
of
a
scary
summer,
but
our
rates
are
coming
down.
We
just
need
to
be
patient.
We
just
need
to
be
patient.
We've
got
to
get
sort
of
the
the
level
of
virus
in
the
community,
particularly
in
places
like
here
on
the
east
side
as
low
as
we
can
before.
We
start
beginning
again.
Those
activities
that
are
riskier.
L
L
E
L
D
Loud
another
reason
that
we're
really
focusing
on
business
is:
we
need
to
help
ensure
that
businesses
are
safe.
We
want
them
both
to
be
safe
and
for
the
community
to
be
and
feel
safe
when
they
come
and
access
services
and
so
to
a
large
extent.
I
think
that
these
these
two
things
go
together.
The
safer
the
business
is
for
the
community
and
for
the
workers,
the
better
and
more
successful
the
business
will
be.
D
There's
a
lot
about
covet
this,
this
new
virus
that
we
can't
control,
but
there
is
a
lot
that
is
within
our
control,
and
so
I
think
we
need
to
remain
humble.
We
need
to
continue
to
learn.
We
need
to
change
course
when
we
learn
something
new
and
we
need
to
share
that
information
and
that's
what
this
whole
initiative
is
all
about.
To
share
the
information
that
we
have
and
to
answer
the
questions
of
people
that
we
have
to
assist,
all
of
us
in
being
safer
and
healthier
as
we
can
be.
K
One
more
question
asked
obviously
in
the
middle
of
the
pandemics.
I
wanted
to
ask
you
a
little
bit
about
the
wildfires
and
the
air
quality
of
the
smoke.
There's
a
new
study
out
by
stanford,
saying
that,
because
of
the
air
quality,
it
has
contributed
to
the
deaths
of
between
a
thousand
to
three
thousand
people
who
had
underlying
health
conditions
like
respiratory
issues
because
of
inhaling
that
smoke.
Can
you
comment
not
all
about
that
study
about
those
numbers,
whether
that
sounds
accurate
to
you
and
seeing
about
the
poor
air
quality
effects.
D
I
can't
comment
on
that
study
because
I
haven't
read
it
be
like,
but
I
will
as
it
sounds.
It
sounds
very
interesting,
but
what
I
can
tell
you
is
that,
ironically,
I
think
that
with
the
heat
and
the
very
poor
air
quality,
more
people
were
likely
staying
indoors
and
away
from
others.
So
we've
been
seeing
these
declines
in
our
case
rates.
We're.
To
be
honest,
not
exactly
sure
why
we're
delighted,
but
we
don't
quite
know
why.
C
Thank
you,
dr
cody.
