El condado de Mendocino está en el Nivel Naranja!

Este cambio en la estructura de niveles permite que el condado de Mendocino cambie al siguiente nivel naranja menos restrictivo en el Plan Estatal para una Economía Más Segura. El cambio al Nivel Naranja entrará en vigencia el miércoles 7 de abril, y estará reflejado en una revisada Orden del Oficial de Salud del Condado de Mendocino que entrará en vigencia el 7 de abril, a las 12:01 a.m.

Las actividades aprobadas deben ser revisadas en el Plan para una Economía Más Segura publicado por el estado de California, disponible en el siguiente enlace:

https://www.cdph.ca.gov/…/Dimmer-Framework-September…

Algunas de las actividades aprobadas incluyen, entre otras, las siguientes:

  • ????? que no proporcionen comidas podrán abrir al aire libre solo con medidas de seguridad como el distanciamiento, el uso de cubrebocas y el control de infecciones. Las mascarillas son requeridas excepto cuando las personas están comiendo o bebiendo.
  • ?????????́??, ??????́?? ? ?????????́?? que no sirven comidas ahora pueden abrir en espacios interiores al 25% de su capacidad o 100 personas, lo que sea menos.

  • ??????? ?? ????????? ? ?????????? abren en espacios interiores con modificaciones.
  • ??????? ?? ???????, ???????́?? ? ????????? ?? ??????? ???????? abren en interiores con modificaciones.

El avance al Nivel Naranja refleja la paciencia y la perseverancia de toda nuestra comunidad en el Condado de Mendocino. El cambio al Nivel Naranja también sucede mientras el Condado continúa avanzando en las vacunas, a pesar del suministro.

Mientras esperamos que todos tengan acceso a las vacunas, el Condado insta a todos a recordar que las actividades en espacios interiores presentan un riesgo mucho mayor que las actividades al aire libre y de adoptar todas las medidas posibles para reducir el riesgo tanto como sea posible. Esto es especialmente crítico dada la reciente detección de variantes en el Condado de Mendocino.

Para mantenerse seguro a usted mismo, a su familia, a sus amigos y vecinos, y a nuestra comunidad en general, siga estos principios básicos:

1.??????? ?? ??????????. El uso constante de mascarillas tanto en interiores como en exteriores, especialmente el uso de doble mascarilla, es muy eficaz para prevenir la propagación del coronavirus.

  1. ?????́????? ?? ???? ?????. Las actividades al aire libre son mucho más seguras que en espacios interiores.
  2. ???????? ??? ????????? ?? ?? ????? ???? ???? ?? ??? ????́?. El distanciamiento social de quienes no viven en su hogar es eficaz para mantener alejado el coronavirus.
  3. ????? ??? ?????? ????? ?? ?? ?????, incluidas las multitudes. Cuantas menos personas encuentre y menos interacciones tenga, menor será la probabilidad de que el virus se propague.
  4. ????́???? ?????? ??? ?? ?????. Todas las vacunas autorizadas por la FDA para uso de emergencia funcionan bien y ayudarán a que usted, su familia y sus amigos estén seguros. Todas las personas de 16 años o más serán elegibles para las vacunas a partir del 15 de abril, así que llámenos al 964-1251 o envíe un correo electrónico a info@mccinc.org para estar en la lista de espera.

Mendocino County is in the Orange Tier!

This change in tier structure allows Mendocino County to shift to the less restrictive Orange Tier in the state’s Blueprint for a Safer Economy. The change to the Orange Tier will take effect Wednesday, April 7th and will be reflected in a revised Mendocino County Health Officer Order to go into effect on April 7th, at 12:01 a.m.

Approved activities should be reviewed on the Blueprint for a Safer Economy plan as released by the State of California available on the following link.

https://www.cdph.ca.gov/…/Dimmer-Framework-September…

Some of the approved activities include but are not limited to:

  • Bars that do not provide meals will be allowed to open outdoors only with distancing, masking and infection control safety measures. Masks are required except when people are eating or drinking.
  • ?????????, ????????, ???????????? that do not serve meals can now open indoors at 25% capacity or 100 people, whichever is fewer.
  • ??????????? can increase capacity for indoor dining to 50% capacity or 200 people, whichever is less with continued safety modifications.
  • ?????? ?? ??????? can hold services indoors at 50% capacity with modifications.
  • ??????? ??????? can operate indoors at 25% capacity and indoor pools can now re-open with modifications. Masks are required unless swimming.
  • ????? ???????? can increase capacity to 50% or 200 people, whichever is less with modifications. Seats must be reserved, and each group must have 6 feet of distance from other groups in all directions. Masks required.
  • ??????? ??? ?????? ?????? open indoors with modifications.
  • ???? ??????, ??????????? ??? ???????? ???? ???????? open indoors with modifications.

Advancement to the Orange Tier reflects the patience and persistence of our whole community in Mendocino County. The shift to the Orange Tier also comes as the County continues to make progress on vaccinations despite supply.

As we wait for everyone to have access to vaccines, the County urges all to remember that indoor activities pose a much higher risk than outdoor activities and to take every step to reduce risk as much as possible. This is especially critical given the recent detection of variants in Mendocino County.

To keep yourself, your family, your friends and neighbors, and our broader community safe, follow these core principles:

  1. ???? ??????. Consistent use of face coverings both indoors and outdoors, especially double-masking, is very effective at preventing spread of the coronavirus.
  2. ???? ????????. Outdoor activities are far safer than indoor ones.
  3. ???????? ?? ????? ?-???? ???????? ???? ??????. Social distancing from those who do not live in your home is effective at keeping the coronavirus away.
  4. ????? ?????? outside of your household including crowds. The fewer people you encounter and the fewer interactions you have, the lower the chance the virus will spread.

5. ??? ?????????? ???? ?? ?? ???? ????. All vaccines authorized by the FDA for emergency use work well and will help keep you, your family, and your friends safe. Everyone 16 and up will be eligible for vaccines as of April 15, so give us a call at 964-1251 or email info@mccinc.org to get on the waiting list.

The skies may have been gloomy, but the mood was bright at our vaccination clinics last weekend!
In just two sessions, on April 2 and 3, MCC gave nearly 950 second doses to grateful patients at our drive-through clinics. It was inspiring to see how happy people were to get their second shot, and we are thankful for our staff and volunteers, who cheerfully worked long hours that Easter weekend.
So far, MCC has given 5,851 vaccines, with 2,838 people being fully vaccinated.
This week, we are planning a first dose vaccination clinic starting at 10:00 am on Friday, April 9. If you are eligible for the vaccine, give us a call at 964 1251 or email info@mccinc.org.

This Doctors’ Day is more special than ever, as we celebrate Dr. Patricia Chico joining MCC’s staff earlier this month. Dr. Chico is a board-certified Family Physician, who offers care for the whole family throughout the life cycle, from pregnancy and newborn care to geriatrics. She is dedicated to supporting each person on their journey to wellness and healing. Welcome, Dr. Chico!
Dr. Chico joins MCC’s amazing team of doctors, many of whom provide unique services to our unique community, starting with our Medical Director, Dr. Lawrence Goldyn. Not only has Dr. Goldyn led us through a global pandemic armed with good sense and scientific knowledge, he is also the only HIV/AIDS specialist in the entire County, traveling far and wide to provide this important service.
Dr. Brent Wright is the only OB/GYN on the Coast, delivering countless local babies over the years, and we are very lucky to have him on staff. Dr. Chris Robshaw and Dr. Gayle Tyerman are the only pediatricians on the Coast, taking the #bestcareanywhere of our community’s children from newborn into the teenage years. Dr. Barbara Kilian provides LGBTQ+ services through her Open Door clinic, the only service like this on our Coast.
Dr. Jennifer Kreger sees patients in our Walk In Clinic on Thursday mornings and Friday afternoons, making sure that patients who need to be seen right away get expert care when they need it. She and her husband, Dr. Wade Gray, are also active in Hubs & Routes, helping our rural community to be better prepared for natural and man-made disasters. In addition to primary care services, Dr. Gray is also licensed to provide Suboxone services to patients who are battling opioid use disorder.
On Doctors’ Day and every day, MCC is proud to have such an outstanding group of doctors dedicated to caring for our community. Happy Doctors’ Day to the best doctors anywhere!
