Hi
everybody
thank
you
for
joining
us,
I'm
larry
little
as
we
learned
yesterday,
the
county's
risk
level
went
from
purple
to
red
on
the
state's
county
activity
status
tier
system.
Betty
young
is
here
to
tell
us
what
it
means
and
what
all
of
us
can
do
to
get
us
to
the
next
level
and
a
better
level,
but
first
want
to
let
you
know.
Prior
to
this
segment,
we
remove
our
facial
covering
so
everyone,
including
the
american
sign
language
interpreters,
can
clearly
and
properly
communicate
the
information
that
we
will
be
sharing
this
morning.
C
D
C
Thank
you
larry.
So
you
know,
as
larry
mentioned,
the
red
tier
we
are
in
the
red
tier
now,
as
of
1
30
pm
yesterday,
red
is
also
categorized
as
substantial
spread.
So
we
still
are
in
a
in
a
zone
of
heightened
concern
and
awareness,
not
the
highest
concern
here,
but
is
still
still
substantial,
as
as
its
namesake
goes,
so
we're
not
out
of
the
danger
zone,
and
we
still
need
everyone
to
be
on
high
alert.
C
We
also
need
to
be
on
high
alert
and
vigilant
of
our
surroundings,
vigilant
of
the
social
distancing
protocols
and
how
we
interact
with
each
other
and
how
we
engage
one
another
when
patronizing
our
favorite
businesses.
So
you
know
with
this
red
tier,
it
does
mean
that
more
businesses
are
allowed
to
resume
operations.
Some
are
allowed
to
resume
indoor
operations.
C
I
think
of
note
our
nail
salons
are
able
to
join
our
hair
salons
indoors
now
so
moving
there.
You
know,
and
that
doesn't
mean
that
they
don't
provide
outdoor
services
anymore.
I
think
we've
seen
the
last
24
hours
a
lot
of
nail.
Salons
are
opting
to
do
both
to
offer
both
indoor
services
and
outdoor
services
for
patrons,
who
prefer
the
additional
safety
and
security
of
having
outdoor
services.
I
just
want
to
thank
all
of
our
now
salons
for
being
flexible
and
pivoting
their
business
operations
to
be
able
to
do
that.
C
Gyms
and
fitness
centers
are
allowed
to
resume
indoor
operations
at
10
capacity,
which
is
you
know,
illustrative
of
where
our
local
county
order
differs
from
the
state
order.
There
are
some
key
differences
that
we're
going
to
talk
about
a
bit
more
massage
services,
and
you
know,
and
additional
service
such
as
that
are
able
to
resume
within
the
county's
guidelines.
C
You
know
our
guidance
here
at
the
local
level
is
guided
by
three
core
principles,
so
those
three
core
principles
are
face
coverings.
How
can
we
operate
with
face
coverings
in
place
at
all
times?
The
second
core
principle
is
is:
is
social
distancing
how
we
can
operate
our
businesses
and
activities
in
a
way
that
facilitates
social,
distancing,
proper
social
distancing
between
all
customers
patrons
and
workers,
and
also
the
third
you
know.
Finally,
the
third
core
principle
is
that
outdoor
will
always
be
safer
than
indoors
with
respect
to
covid.
C
I
just
want
to
let
let
you
all
know
you
know
our
appreciation
for
your
continued
partnership
with
us
to
develop
suitable
alternatives
to
operations
and
also,
for
you
know,
continuing
to
abide
by
the
health
order.
I
know
that
it's
been
rough
for
a
lot
of
folks,
but
we
are
in
constant
communication.
I
want
to
appreciate
that,
so
we
are
continuing
to
monitor
the
status
of
covet
in
our
community.
C
We
continue
to
work
with
city
and
state
leadership
and
small
business
advocacy
groups
and
industry
leaders
to
make
sure
that
you
know
we
are
seeking
suitable
alternatives
to
operations.
We
are
working
to
identify
whatever
resources
can
be
made
available
to
our
small
businesses,
who
have
really
felt
the
impact.
The
economic
impact
of
our
coveted
response-
and
you
know
again
just
want
to
appreciate
all
the
businesses
who
have
been
in
compliance
abiding
by
the
social
distancing
protocol,
changing
their
business
operations,
changing
their
their
models.
C
We've
been
working
with
a
lot
of
restaurant
owners
and
you
know
they've.
I've
heard
about
restaurant
owners
like
changing
their
menus
to
be
more
more
more
more
friendly,
more
takeout,
friendly,
dining
out
friendly.
You
know,
so
I
just
want
to
appreciate
that
everyone
has
pivoted
and
changed
the
landscape.
You
know
change
change
in
accordance
with
the
changing
landscape
of
covet
in
our
community,
with
all
the
different
orders
that
have
come
through
and
you
know
so.
I
just
really
want
to
appreciate
you
all
out
there.
B
D
B
C
D
C
That
means
is
that
what
the
state
puts
out
is
the
bare
minimum
for
the
whole
state.
You
know
we
are
a
very
diverse
state.
Our
county
is
very
unique.
You
know
we're
we
we're
home
to
san
jose,
which
is
the
third
largest
city
in
the
state,
10th
largest
city
in
the
country.
So
what
the
state's
framework
does
is
that
it
provides
a
template
for
us
to
build
on
top
of
build
restrictions
and
build
our
guidance
on
top
of
that's.
That's!
That's
a
that
reflects
the
unique
nature
of
our
county,
our
demographic,
our
diversity.
C
We
are
an
international
hub
of
technology
and
commerce,
so
we
wanna,
so
our
rules
are
gonna,
look
a
little
different
just
by
the
very
nature
of
what
our
county
is
and
and
all
the
things
that
make
our
county
special.
So
you
know
I
wanna,
you
know
what
to
answer
your
question.
You
know
where
our
local
order
differs
from
the
state
order
is
that
we
still
do
not
allow
for
indoor
dining.
We
do
not
allow
for
indoor
gathering.
We
do
not
allow
for
large
gatherings,
so
you
know
by
default.
D
C
14
days
yeah,
according
to
the
state's
framework,
we
must
be
in
the
red
tier
for
14
days
before
we
could
even
consider
the
possibility
of
indoor
learning
again
this.
The
state
framework
is
the
floor.
Not
the
ceiling
that
decision
of
whether
we
resume
indoor
classic
indoor,
learning
or
not
is
really
is
really
up
to
the
specific
districts,
the
school
districts-
and
you
know
they
need
to
monitor
and
you
know,
decide
for
themselves.
C
You
know,
based
on
on
what
their
community
looks
like
and
where,
where
the,
where
the
risks
are,
if
this
is
something
they
can
move
on,
move
on
with
districts
do
have
the
the
option
to
opt
out
of
indoor
learning.
So,
even
if
the
state
does
allow
it
after
a
certain
amount
of
time,
the
districts
do
have
they.
They
do
have
the
leeway
to
to
be
to
not
opt-in.
To
just
say,
that's
not
something
that
we
can
move
forward
with
at
our
district.
At
this
time,.
C
C
No
county,
no
two
counties
are
alike
in
the
state
of
california.
The
santa
clara
county
is
is
an
international
hub.
We
have,
we
have
a
large
population,
we
have
a
lot
of
industry,
we
have
a
lot
of
commerce.
We
have
a
lot
of
small
businesses
here.
It's
what
makes
our
county
special
and
you
know
because
of
that
landscape.
We
do
have
to
adjust
accordingly
to
make
sure
that
covid
is
limited.
C
D
B
C
You
could
thank
you
larry,
so
the
state's
framework
uses
two
two
metrics,
two
main
metrics
in
balance
with
one
another.
So
the
first
metric
is
the
the
number
of
positive
cases
per
100
000
of
the
population,
and
the
second
metric
is
the
number
of
positive
test
results
against
the
number
of
tests
taken.
So
basically
the
more
tests
we
administer
the
more
tests
we
take,
the
better
our
numbers
are
going
to
look
mm-hmm.
B
C
It's
going
to
look
better
in
terms
of,
like
you
know,
being
the
the
denominator
for
the
number
of
positive
test
results
we
get
in,
but
it's
also
going
to
be
better
because
the
moment
we
know
that
someone's
coveted
positive,
we
can
activate
the
kovid19
support
team.
The
coven
19
support
team
will
provide
housing
assistance,
temporary
housing.
If
that's
what
that's?
What
you
need?
Assistance
with
groceries,
assistance
with
getting
you
the
proper
health
care
and
medical
services
and
then
and
they're
just
a
phenomenal
team.
C
B
C
Yes,
correct:
there's
always
a
possibility
for
us
to
go
back
to
purple,
and
you
know
it's
a
it
it.
It
comes
down
to
again
us
all
businesses
having
a
social
distancing
protocol,
everybody
wearing
their
face
coverings,
everybody
abiding
by
the
social
distancing
protocol,
everybody
taking
really
good
care
of
yourself.
You
know
monitor
your
health
check
on
your
co-workers.
If
there
are
symptoms,
you
must
isolate
right
away.
You
know
if
you
work
at
a
job
that
that
that
exposes
you
regularly
to
members
of
the
public.
C
If
you
rely
on
public
transportation,
if
you're
just
out
and
about
because
the
nature
of
your
job
or
the
activities
that
you
participate
in
limit,
where
you
can
and
get
tested,
I
mean
our
guidance
here
is
that
for
all
essential
workers
you
want
to
get
tested
at
least
once
a
month.
That's
the
bare
minimum
right.
C
So
trust
me
we're
not
going
to
be
mad
if
you're
getting
tested
every
other
week
or
you're
getting
tested
after
you
know,
you
know
a
day
at
the
job
and
you
realize
there
was
a
lot
more
foot
traffic
than
normal
today,
and
there
may
be
some
moments
where
I
may
have
been.
You
know,
may
have
been
a
little
bit
more
at
more
risk
for
exposure.
If
you
have
a
feeling
just
go
get
tested
and
we
try
to
make
it
as
easy
as
possible.
C
Sec
freetest.org
is
where
you
can
find
all
of
our
testing
resources.
We
we
have
the
fairgrounds
testing
site,
which
can
accommodate
up
to
5
000
test
takers
per
day.
You
can
drive
through
you
can
walk
up.
You
can
even
ride
your
bike
through
we're
a
huge
bike
community
here.
So
if
you
want
to
ride
your
bike
through,
you,
don't
even
have
to
get
off
the
seat
and
they'll
still
test.
You.
B
C
Yeah
and
that's
really
a
it's-
it's
really
a
testament
to
the
residents
of
our
county,
the
residents
of
our
county,
our
business
leaders,
our
our
community
leaders
have
really
answered
the
call
and
really
supported
one
another
and
adopting
best
practices,
making
sure
that
everyone's
wearing
face
coverings,
washing
hands,
keeping
your
distance
changing
your
way
of
life
to
be
as
virtual
and
remote
as
possible,
and
you
know
I
just
want
to
on
behalf
of
the
county.
Thank
you
thank
you
for
all
the
great
work
that
you've
done.
I
think
you
know.
C
D
C
B
A
B
C
I
would
say
the
first
website
you
should
check
out
is,
as
always,
the
county's
coronavirus
website,
sccgov.org
coronavirus.
It
is
the
most
comprehensive
website.
We
everything
we've
got.
We
put
it
up
there,
so
you
know,
I
think
what
that
does
too.
Is
that
creates
a
bit
of
an
information
overload?
You
know
it's
it's
a
it's
a!
I
feel
like
it's
a
fun
site
to
navigate,
but
it
does
require
a
little
time
we're
working
on
fixing
that
on
revising
the
website,
to
make
it
a
lot
more
easier
to
navigate
because
there's
just
so
much
information.
C
Another
website
you
can
go
to
is
sec
covidconcerns.org!
That's
a
portal
specifically
for
businesses
for
patrons
of
businesses.
By
going
to
that
site,
you
can
easily
find
out
what
is
required
of
your
business.
All
businesses
operating
are
required
to
number
one,
have
a
social
discussing
protocol
on
file
submitted
and
number
two
ad.
He
you
must
adhere
to
the
industry.
Specific
man
industry
see
I'm
so
sorry,
the
industry,
specific
directives
that
has
been
created
for
your
for
your
industry.
C
We
don't
you
know
it's
not
that
the
moment
we
get
a
concern,
we're
out
there
trying
to
penalize
or
find
people.
We
know
that
we
are
still
in
the
curve
of
education,
we're
still
in
the
phase
of
promoting
and
making
sure
everyone
has
access
to
this
information.
So
if
there
is
a
concern
somewhere
by
sharing
with
us,
we
send
an
education
team
out.
First,
we
have
language,
we
have
our
education
team
members
are
fluent
in
multiple
languages.
C
We
want
to
provide
support,
we
could
do
demonstrations
on
appropriate
face
coverings.
We
can
even
help
measure
the
floors
and
tape
them
up
too.
So
our
team
is
there
to
help
and
we
take
an
education
first
approach.
So
please
don't
be
shy
about
using
covetconcerns.org
to
share.
You
know
your
feedback
to.
Let
us
know
if
there
are
businesses
that
could
use
a
little
extra
help.
C
C
I
I
I
you
know
I
I
feel
like.
Sometimes
the
phone
call
is
much
easier
right
than
going
through
a
website
or
I
like
to
do
a
combination
of
the
both
you
know.
I've
had
a
lot
of
we've
had
a
lot
of
business,
business
owners
and
managers
and
workers
call
in
and
they're
cert
they're
they're
on
our
site
at
the
same
time,
they're
on
the
phone
with
our
business
or
a
business
call
center.
So
don't
be
shy.
Give
us
a
call,
we
do.
C
B
C
B
D
B
C
C
That's
that
sign
that
big
check
mark
that
says
we're
covered
prepared
should
be
at
the
front
of
of
the
entrance
so
that,
when
you
walk
in,
you
know
that
they
they
have
a
plan
in
place
and
take
a
look,
just
pause
for
a
moment
and
look
at
their
plan,
because
it
should
be
posted
right
next
to
the
check
mark
how
many
people
are
allowed
in
the
store.
That's
what
I
should
identify.
C
What
kind
of
protocols
has
this
business
taken
up
to
ensure
your
safety
and
the
safety
of
their
workers?
I
think
those
are
like
my
big
talking
points
just
continue
collaboration
with
one
another
cooperation,
take
care
of
one
another
and
take
care
of
yourself
we'll
get
through
this
and
get
to
that
next
tier,
absolutely.
C
You
know
our
hearts
go
out
to
all
those
who
are
impacted
by
the
fires
are
that
are
just
raging
through
the
the
state
and
and
up
and
down
the
west
coast
right
now.
So
I
know
that
you
know
our
emergency
operations
center.
Here
is
now
a
both
a
covid
and
fire
operations
with
our
county
office
of
emergency
management,
providing
a
lot
of
mutual
aid
to
other
jurisdictions.
