Friends,
For those of you living in San Diego County, there is a lot of news on the evolving situation in San Diego and California.

First, San Diego County reports that the county has met 4 of the 5 criteria for entering Phase 1 of re-opening. We have had down-trending new symptoms and cases for the last 14 days. However, to meet the last criterion, the County needs to have more testing, PPE, and hospital capacity available in the county. Let’s hope this happens soon!

Also, after a brief beach opening for walking, swimming, and surfing, Gavin Newsome has closed all beaches and state parks effective today, May 1st.

Also on May 1st, face coverings will be required in San Diego County.

Please see the SD County news page for ongoing updates.

Don’t fear, but be smart!
