Official Letter

Dear Business Owners,

Through tremendous support from individuals and businesses throughout Santa Clara County, we have done a lot to minimize the spread of the coronavirus. It hasn’t been easy on anyone. We know that. Unfortunately, the coronavirus is still with us. For that reason, Santa Clara County continues to be under a shelter in place order and all persons and businesses in Santa Clara County must continue to comply with the County Order. “Essential businesses,” “outdoor businesses,” and “additional businesses” as defined in the County Order can be open, under certain requirements and specified limitations specified in the Order and Appendices. Thank you to all who have implemented, posted, and provided employees a Social Distancing Protocol.

This letter is to share the following information:

• The COVID-19 Prepared display checkmark can be printed from the above link

• The self-certification of your Protocol does not need to be submitted to the County or City

• The Social Distancing Protocol information is available on the County’s COVID-19 website in Chinese, Spanish, Tagalog, and Vietnamese

• The Public Health Department recommends monthly testing of front line or healthcare workers who regularly interact with members of the public and cannot maintain social distancing at work.

The above information and more can be viewed here.

Thank you again for your support.

Jeff Smith,

County Executive

Board of Supervisors: Mike Wasserman, Cindy Chavez, Dave Cortese, Susan Ellenberg, S. Joseph Simitian
