Governor issues six indicators that will need to be met before modifying the stay at home order
California’s six indicators for modifying the stay-at-home order are:
The ability to monitor and protect our communities through testing, contact tracing, isolating, and supporting those who are positive or exposed;
The ability to prevent infection in people who are at risk for more severe COVID-19;
The ability of the hospital and health systems to handle surges;
The ability to develop therapeutics to meet the demand;
The ability for businesses, schools, and child care facilities to support physical distancing; and
The ability to determine when to reinstitute certain measures, such as the stay-at-home orders, if necessary.

Reminder to not blow or rake leaves into the street
While it may seem easy to blow all those leaves from your yard into the street, it actually costs more in the long run as the street sweeper and the storm-drain system get unnecessarily burdened. So please consider the community as a whole and simply place those leaves in your garbage bin.
