Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
On March 10, 2020, the Board of Supervisors ratified the Local Emergency related to 2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) as proclaimed by the Chief Executive Officer/Director of Emergency Services and ratified the Existence of a Local Health Emergency as Proclaimed by the Health Officer on March 4, 2020. The Board has continued to receive regular updates on the status of COVID-19 in Mendocino County. Since that time, the Board of Supervisors has received update during each meeting related to COVID-19.
Summary of Request:
Mendocino County Public Health has been actively responding to the threat of COVID-19 since early January 2020. On March 4, 2020, Mendocino County declared a local health emergency due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with the Mendocino County Health Officer issuing multiple Health Orders.
As a result of the imminent threat presented to Mendocino County’s public health due to COVID-19, staff will be available to address Board of Supervisors questions related to the following topics as needed:
• Health Officer Briefing (Dr. Andrew Coren)
•
Pursuant to new legislation (AB 361), the Board is required to reconsider the circumstances of the emergency and make a finding of whether state or local officials continue to recommend social distancing measures. This finding must be renewed every thirty (30) days if any member(s) of the Board of Supervisors will be participating from a location not open to the public. Mendocino County Health Officer Dr. Andrew Coren made such a recommendation on September 29, 2021, which continues to be in place as of the time of agenda publication.
