Dr. Maggie Park – Our Post-Pandemic Era
Dr. Park presented a lot of data and numbers showing how the Covid 19 numbers have hit the county in the past year and the most recent numbers for new Covid cases. She shared the policies of the San Joaquin county that follow the CDC guidelines. She also shared the percentage of people vaccinated in the county broken down by cities. The county’s guideline for businesses on face covering guidance matches the CDC guidelines as well. There is a signage display that the business needs to have for people to follow. If the business requires Covid tests for their employee, they can reach out to Public Health office of San Joaquin County and they may be able to help. Last, she talked about the upcoming challenges like the school reopening, vaccinations for kids under 12, booster shots, more variants, and the flu season. There are more guidelines to come for these upcoming challenges.
