Although the eWeekly is currently on hiatus until August 20th, we bring you some breaking news on COVID 19 from the Governor’s office:
GOVERNOR STATEMENT ON CALIFORNIA VACCINATION
Today the Governor release a statement that included comments from a wide variety of employers, business groups, trade associations, labor unions, and local governments on the ongoing drive to get as many Californians as possible vaccinated so the state can staunch backsliding into tighter restrictions.
Many areas are once again requiring masks, and many are worried that shutdowns like we saw in 2020 could follow if the numbers of new COVID cases are not brought back down.
The Governor’s release reads, in part:
California Business Roundtable: “The governor’s approach will allow economic recovery to continue while redoubling efforts to encourage vaccinations. From the beginning of the pandemic, the business community has been a partner with the governor and public health officials by implementing mitigation protocols and testing, hosting vaccination clinics, communicating the need to get vaccinated, promoting the vaccine through its own PSA, and offering incentives to employees and customers. We will continue to look to work with the governor on additional ways we can help encourage vaccines without negatively impacting employment opportunities or our economic recovery at this critical stage, while paying special attention to continued outreach to Black and Latino communities, of which 51 percent and 49 percent remain unvaccinated, respectively.”
The coalition includes:
California Business Properties Association
California Hotel and Lodging Association
California Manufacturers and Technology Association
California Retailers Association
California Restaurant Association
Orange County Business Council
Los Angeles County BizFed
Central Valley BizFed
