Memorandum
Date: June 15, 2021
To: The Honorable Bruno Sabatier, Chair, Lake County Board of Supervisors
From: Carol J. Huchingson, County Administrative Officer
Subject: Discussion/Consideration of masking and social distancing requirements given the differing guidance from CDC, CDPH and CalOSHA and future amendment to the County of Lake COVID-19 Public Health Emergency Worksite Protocol
Executive Summary: (include fiscal and staffing impact narrative):
Today, Governor Newsom has reopened California and lifted the tier system of restrictions relative to the COVID pandemic. For the most part, this means that masking and social distancing are no longer necessary for the public except in situations involving very large groups.
However, CalOSHA guidance for workplaces has not been entirely consistent with the Governor’s directives for the public.
Given that the guidance is in flux, staff requests an opportunity to provide your Board with an update and seek your direction for amendment to our COVID worksite protocol.
