On Friday, the Lassen County Board of Supervisors approved a COVID-19 recovery plan which is being forwarded to Governor Gavin Newsom and the State’s Public Health Officer for their endorsement.
If approved, local official say they are ready to swiftly implement their Roadmap to Recovery.
The county, working with partners in the community, developed the plan to reopen services and activities affected by the pandemic response.
The local plan is based on Governor Newsom’s “California’s Roadmap to Modify the Stay-at-Home Order”, released on April 28th.
“We also relied on the March 19, 2020, ‘Order of the Health Officer’ directive for clarification on identifying the critical infrastructure during COVID-19 as referenced in the health order,” Incident Commanders explained.
“Lassen’s plan is our roadmap toward local community economic and social vitality. By documenting research, recommendations, and guidance from local, State, and Federal resources, this roadmap shall provide valuable input to inform modifications to the existing Lassen County Health Order as it relates to reopening businesses and organizations throughout the County.”
Community indicators include community‐based cases, deaths, hospitalizations and overall healthcare capacity.
The Plan identifies the steps necessary to continue to limit the spread of COVID-19 disease: however, it allows for regression to a prior phase should a spike in community transmission of COVID-19 occurs.
Local officials also say they recognize that state, federal, regional and local support and personal responsibility are critical for this plan to work.
