Modified Ventura County Stay Well at Home Order Allows Reopening of Lower Risk Businesses on May 8th

The County of Ventura Public Health Officer announced today a new modified Stay Well VC Health Order to align with the State of California’s four-stage framework for reopening.

The County will move forward with the State’s Stage 2 of reopening lower-risk businesses on Friday, May 8th. This will allow retail businesses, such as clothing stores, bookstores, sporting goods stores and florists, for example, to reopen with curb side delivery, as well as the related manufacturing and supply chain businesses.

The Order is also extended from May 15 to May 31.

“We are at a turning point because of the community’s incredible compliance with social distancing and the sacrifices of individuals and businesses. These efforts have saved lives, helped prevent the spread of the virus in our community and put us in a position to move forward gradually and safely in reopening our economy. Our ability to move forward is directly tied to our continuing commitment to physical distancing. With the issuance of Dr. Levin’s new Stay Well VC Order, we will align even more closely with the Governor’s revised order because we support the approach of evaluating businesses for reopening based on level of risk and we believe it will provide greater clarity. The new local order will retain some aspects of our previous order in areas such as guidelines for seniors and long-term care facilities,” said Mike Powers, County of Ventura CEO.

“Our community members have answered the call to stay well at home and thanks to them, we are in a position to move forward. These actions have saved lives. It is critical that our community continues to use caution. The virus is not gone. It is dangerous and poses a significant health risk. As we move into the next stage, we must do so with great care. We must continue to practice social distancing and businesses must make modifications needed to lower the risk of COVID-19 exposure,” said Public Health Officer Doctor Robert Levin.

The County has made progress in meeting the Governor’s requirements for moving forward. These steps have included: hospital surge and personal protective equipment capacity; protection of high-risk patient populations: seniors, long term care facility residents, homeless; contact tracing capacity and thoughtful data driven public health guidance.

“The efforts to protect our community health and our local economy are aligned. Investing in these public health steps will benefit the health of our community as well as our local economy. Until there is a vaccine, these are the only tools we have to identify and prevent the spread of the virus in our community,” said Powers. “We have a plan for verification and education under our Public Health Officer Doctor Robert Levin’s guidance to further ensure our local businesses can reopen and do so safely. We have found almost universally that our local businesses truly want to comply. Businesses and local business leaders with the Economic Development Collaborative, Cities, Chambers, Women’s Economic Ventures and the Ventura County Economic Development Association have come to the table in the spirit of compliance. They get it and want to make sure they protect their employees and customers.”

Updated Stay Well at Home Order Issued by Ventura County Health Officer Today, April 18th

A new order was issued by Ventura County Public Health today, effective at 11:59PM, superceding all previous orders. The detailed 19 page order is posted on the vcemergency.com website in a pdf at vcportal.ventura.org/CEO/VCNC/2020-04-18_Signed_15V8544-Final-Final_Master_Ord.pdf. The order is in effect until 11:59 pm on May 15th.

Here are some highlights:

1. All persons are ordered to stay at their homes. Homeless are exempt from this, but are strongly urged to obtain shelter.

2. We can leave our homes to engage in Essential Activities, to provide an Essential Government Function or Service or to operate or work at an Essential Business. And of course follow social distancing requirements when doing so.

3. Residents 75+ and 70+ with active or unstable comorbidity are ordered to stay home, except as necessary to seek medical care or nutrition or to perform essential work.

4. Non-Essential Travel is prohibited within the county. Travel into or out of the county is allowed as necessary.

5. Non-Essential businesses must close. There are allowed exceptions for home based businesses and “Limited Business Operations.” Limited Business Operations have facilities with no more than 10 employees or contractors on site during any 24 hour period, there is no physical interaction with the public, the public is not allowed in the workplace, social distancing is practiced and there is no retail operations (e.g. products have to be delivered, not picked up by the public).

6. “Essential Businesses” may only sell goods and services that justify their classification as essential. Grocery stores, for example, may only sell food, beverages, pet supplies and household products. They may not sell clothing, jewelry, sporting goods, furniture, etc. (The reason for this is that they would be at an unfair advantage vs stores forced to close as nonessential that sell such products.)

7. Only businesses whose primary business is selling food, beverages, pet supplies or household products (cleaning and personal care) are considered Essential Businesses. If less than a third of a business’s gross sales constituted essential products over the last six months, they are not considered an Essential Business.

8. Food service requirements continue to be 1) takeout or delivery only; 2) food must be consumed elsewhere; and 3) social distancing must be maintained.

9. Other Essential Businesses must have proper social distancing protocols in place.

10. A partial list of Non-Essential Businesses and facilities includes bars and nightclubs that don’t serve food, movie theaters, concert halls, bowling alleys, etc., gyms, fitness centers and community pools, campgrounds and RV parks (except RV parks considered primary residences), clothing, sporting goods, jewelry, fabric, toy and game, book, arts and crafts, gun, bait and tackle, furniture, home decor, party decoration and tobacco and vaping stores, pawn shops, pet grooming, salons and barber shops. Door to door solicitations are banned.

11. Public or private gatherings of six or more people are prohibited. Essential Travel and Essential Activities are not prohibited for a single household or living unit.

12. Essential Activities includes medical visits, getting supplies, food , etc., funeral and wedding services (no more than 10 allowed, in addition to the couple and the officiant), outside gatherings to observe or participate in live or virtual presentations of no more than 10 people as long as the gathering is outdoors, persons from the same household must be in a motor vehicle (I’m not making this stuff up) with no more than 5 people, vehicles are at least six feet apart, etc.

13. Essential Activities also allow for outdoor activity, provided social distancing is applied. Examples of such activities given include golfing, tennis, pickleball, walking, hiking, running, bicycling, pleasure driving and working around their places of residence, including gardening. More specific requirements for golf are given in the Order, such as “a distance of at least 30 feet shall be maintained between groups of golfers at all times.”

14. The list of Essential Businesses is pretty long. Here goes:

    1. Healthcare providers

    2. Grocery stores, farmers’ markets, produce stands, supermarkets, food banks, convenience stores, pet supply stores, etc.

    3. Agricultural production and processing.

    4. Businesses that provide food and shelter to those in need.

Ventura County Public Health Officer Issues New Stay Well at Home Order Today

Public Health Officer Issues New Stay Well At Home Order Protecting Seniors in Long-Term Care Facilities, Placing Further Limitations on Gatherings, Adding to the List of Essential Businesses and Enacting Social Distancing Protocols

Ventura County Public Health Officer Doctor Robert Levin has enhanced the Stay Well At Home order to save lives and stop the spread of COVID-19 in the County of Ventura. The Order supplements the Health Officer’s Orders dated March 17, 20 and 31, 2020. All prior Orders issued by the Health Officer remain in effect except where modified by the provisions of the latest Order.

The intent of the Order is to ensure that the maximum number of people stay in their place of residence to the maximum extent feasible to slow the spread of COVID-19 and mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the delivery of critical healthcare services to those in need.

The Order supplements and amends existing orders by, among other things: prohibiting all gatherings, no matter the size, outside of places of residences with limited exceptions, adding certain businesses to the list of essential businesses, requiring essential businesses to adopt and implement social distancing protocols, providing guidance for hospital holding units and long-term care facilities and declaring that violations of Health Officer Orders constitute a threat to public health.

Hospitals and Long-Term Care Facilities

Ventura County Public Health Department seeks to protect vulnerable populations from COVID-19. The most vulnerable population is the elderly. Seniors confined together in a Long-Term Care Facility are at particular risk. An outbreak there might result in numerous deaths. The Order advises Long-Term Care Facilities to relocate COVID-19 positive patients to COVID-19 Holding Units within hospitals.

All Gatherings Prohibited:

• All public and private gatherings of two or more persons occurring outside a single household or living unit are prohibited, except for the limited purposes of operating an essential business or to perform essential governmental functions or services.

• Members of single household or living unit are permitted to engage in essential travel or essential activities together.

• Gatherings of 10 or fewer persons are permitted at graveside funeral services.

• Staff of organizations or associations may gather for the sole purpose of preparing and facilitating live-stream or other virtual communications with their members and are limited to as few as possible and no more than 7 people.

Additions to the List of Essential Businesses:

• Bicycle repair and supply shops may engage in the sale of bicycles on-line only and provided that all bicycles are delivered to a place of residence or Essential Business.

• Service providers that enable residential real estate transactions (including rentals, leases and home sales), including, but not limited to, real estate agents, escrow agents, notaries, and title companies, provided that appointments and other residential viewings must only occur virtually or, if virtual viewing is not feasible, by appointment with no more than two visitors at a time, both whom must reside within the same household or living unit, and one individual showing the unit (except in-person visits are not allowed when the occupant is present in the residence).

• Automotive dealerships may engage in the purchase or sale of automobiles (including cars, trucks, motorcycles and motorized scooters) on-line only and provided that all vehicles are delivered to a place of residence or Essential Business.

All Essential Businesses must have Social Distancing Protocol

• All essential businesses must prepare and post by no later than April 12, 2020, a “Social Distancing Protocol” for each of their facilities in the County frequented by the public or employees. The Social Distancing Protocol must be posted at or near the entrance of the relevant facility and shall be easily viewable by the public and employees. A copy of the Social Distancing Protocol must also be provided to each employee performing work at the facility. All essential businesses shall implement the Social Distancing Protocol and provide evidence of its implementation to any authority enforcing the Order upon demand.

Ventura County Public Health Comments About Use of Face Masks

Today, April, 2, 2020, the Ventura County Public Health Officer changes position on face masks, no longer advising against wearing them in public. Instead, he supports those residents who wish to cover their nose and mouth when leaving home for essential travel to doctor appointments, grocery shopping or pharmacy visits. The face coverings should not be hospital grade at this time because there is a shortage and our health professionals need them. Masks should be homemade and cover the nose and mouth. There are numerous sites online which demonstrate or give patterns for how to make fabric masks.

The Camarillo Sewing Brigade provides video instruction at bit.ly/MakeMask.

Additional instruction at www.instructables.com/id/AB-Mask-for-a-Nurse-by-a-Nurse.

Fabric masks can be washed and used again.

For decades, Public Health officials nationwide and locally have said that wearing a mask for protection against the flu is unnecessary for the general public. Now, Ventura County Public Health Officer Doctor Robert Levin says circumstances have changed. “There is growing evidence that people can have COVID-19 without any symptoms and that they can pass it to others at this stage. Many people wear masks thinking it will protect them from a virus, and in certain cases it may. That may also be true for COVID-19 especially if accompanied by good hand hygiene and social distancing, but now there may be a better reason to wear a mask; it will decrease the chance of you spreading it to someone else if you have the infection asymptomatically.”

This is particularly important if decreasing spread means not infecting a senior or someone with other chronic conditions. “In light of building evidence, I support those who wish to wear a mask in public. I don’t think everyone must do so, but I look upon those who do as making a responsible decision. I never thought I’d say that.” It is imperative though, that the use of masks by members of the public not contribute to the shortage of personal protective equipment needed by first responders like health care workers. If someone chooses to wear a mask in public, it should be home made, at least until there is no more shortage. “I’m not ready to wear a mask yet but I will respect those who do. It’s going to be hard for me to not start wearing one,” said Doctor Levin. “Covering your face doesn’t change the orders everyone must abide by to stay home as much as possible and maintain social distancing, but it’s an extra layer of protection that I think is reasonable to add.”

The rationale for covering one’s face comes from the belief that transmission occurs primarily through droplets from an infected individual, which fabrics may filter. This not only helps to reduce the risk a well person can breathe those droplets in, but also protects others around someone with mild or no symptoms who may not yet realize they have the COVID-19 infection. Face coverings may be worn anytime a person is outside of their home, even in offices of essential businesses.

“We must work together to stop the spread and save lives in our County,” said Doctor Levin. “That means that flattening the curve may benefit from another layer of protection against the virus. Consider the additional step to cover your face.” Health officials continue to stress that frequent hand washing, social distancing and staying home are the best ways to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Stay in your place, maintain your space and cover your face.

Ventura County Public Health Announces Additional Limitations on Activities and Businesses 3/31/20

The Ventura County Health Officer issued an order on March 31, 2020 that expands upon previous “Stay Well at Home” orders issued March 17th and March 20th. Here is what this additional order calls for:

• Restaurants offering takeout:

  • Must provide food completely contained in a suitable container to customers (e.g. an ice cream cone is not allowed unless served inside a covered container).

  • Patrons must consume food elsewhere (e.g. not within the line of sight of a person standing in front of the facility).

  • Everyone ordering or congregating at a food facility shall maintain at least a 6 foot distance from others.

• Grocery stores, certified farmers’ markets, farm and produce stands, supermarkets, convenience stores and other establishments that sell food, beverages, pet supplies or household (cleaning and personal care) products shall not sell other items such as clothing, jewelry, sporting goods, furniture, etc.

  • Only businesses whose primary business is the above items may operate. Other businesses whose gross sales over the last 6 months is less than 33% such items may not operate.

• Auto repair shops and supply stores may operate. Auto sales and showrooms may not.

• All swimming pools, hot tubs, saunas, etc. must not operate, with the exception of single-family residences that may be used only by members of the household.

• All campgrounds and RV parks must close.

• Door to door solicitations must cease for any purpose - sales of goods, charitable contributions, signature gathering, etc.

The violation of any provision of the order constitutes a threat to public health. Failure to comply is a misdemeanor punishable by fine, imprisonment or both.

The order ends at 11:59 p.m. on April 19th.

All Ventura County School Districts to Close Campuses Through Remainder of School Year

All Ventura County School Districts to Close Campuses Through Remainder of School Year

Distance Learning and School Meals Will Continue

All Ventura County School Districts today agreed to keep their campuses closed through the end of the school year in support of the coronavirus mitigation effort. The decision was made in consultation with Ventura County Public Health Officer Dr. Robert Levin. It comes after recommendations from California Governor Gavin Newsom and California Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond for schools to continue providing distance learning in lieu of in-class instruction for the remainder of the current semester.

“While we would like nothing more than to welcome students back to campus before the end of the year, the health and safety of our communities has to be the first priority,” said Ventura County Superintendent of Schools Stan Mantooth. “We realize the situation is fluid and schools are prepared to alter their plans as conditions warrant.”

Superintendent Mantooth emphasized that the closure of school facilities does not mean the current school year is over. Ventura County school districts are already providing distance learning opportunities for students and will continue making them more robust. Many have transitioned to online learning platforms and provided laptops and wi-fi hot spots to students who need them. Others are using paper-based materials when technological solutions are not practical.

“We understand that these closures place a tremendous burden on families and we will do everything we can to expand distance learning and continue providing meal service to students in need,” Mantooth said. Grab-n-go school meals continue to be widely available throughout Ventura County. A list of pick-up locations is available at www.vcoe.org/meals.

One of the most difficult aspects of the closure is the disruption to traditional end-of-year activities including graduation ceremonies. Schools are already exploring alternative ways to celebrate the end of the year and recognize our students for their accomplishments.

The Ventura County school districts that jointly agreed to extend their campus closures are listed below. Most Ventura County charter schools are expected to follow suit.

• Briggs School District

• Conejo Valley Unified School District

• Fillmore Unified School District

• Hueneme Elementary School District

• Las Virgenes Unified School District*

• Mesa Union School District

• Moorpark Unified School District

• Mupu Elementary School District

• Oak Park Unified School District

• Ocean View School District

• Ojai Unified School District

• Oxnard School District (K-8)

• Oxnard Union High School District

• Pleasant Valley School District

• Rio School District

• Santa Clara Elementary School District

• Santa Paula Unified School District

• Simi Valley Unified School District

• Somis Union School District

• Ventura Unified School District
