Dear Members and Downtown Stakeholders:
Welcome back San Jose Museum of Art, Original Gravity, Miniboss, Paper Plane, Super Kitchen and el cafecito.
The election grabbed most of the headlines this past week, and Covid coverage was sparse – probably the least amount of media coverage and change in protocol since March.
That said, our collective foray into the Orange Tier has resulted in some local changes, explained below.
It doesn’t mean that Covid is going away. We experienced our first patients to have the regular flu and Covid at the same time. In some places, the gatherings caused by the election and a fall surge has resulted in record levels of new cases.
The Santa Clara County Health Department reports: “Early indications suggest our numbers have started, albeit slowly, to trend in the wrong direction. Our 7 day average of new cases in Santa Clara County has climbed back up to 125 now, up from 95 average daily cases in late September. Statewide case counts have also been on the rise in the past couple of weeks.
“The time for careful behavior is still now. We remain vulnerable to this virus. But, fortunately, we know what it takes to reduce transmission. The principles remain the same (wear face coverings, social distance, minimize your contacts, ensure good ventilation, practice excellent hygiene, etc.). As colder weather approaches and as cases surge around us, adherence to these principles will only become more important.”
So, let’s remain vigilant and take advantage of this great weather while we still have it.
