When Reopening in Butte County:
As the State announces reopening guidance for new sectors permitted to reopen Statewide and additional sectors that may reopen in counties with a local variance once approved by the local Health Officer, the County reminds businesses that in addition to the State reopening guidance all businesses and facilities should also:
- Post a local self-certification window placard in a visible location once all reopening measures have been met.
- Require employees to wear face coverings when interacting with members of the public, working in any space visited by members of the public, working in any space where food is prepared or packaged for sale
or distribution to others, working in or walking through common areas, such as hallways,
stairways, elevators, and parking facilities, and in any room or enclosed area where other people (except for
members of the person’s own household or residence) are present
when unable to physically distance.
- Maintain a log if possible, including: customer or participant name, contact information, and time of visit when practicle that may be provided to Butte County Public Health to assist in contact tracing.
Cloth face coverings help reduce the spread of coronavirus especially when combined with physical distancing and frequent hand washing. Starting June 18, Californians must wear face coverings in common and public indoor spaces and outdoors when distancing is not possible.
A significant portion of individuals with coronavirus lack symptoms (“asymptomatic”) and that even those who eventually develop symptoms (“pre-symptomatic”) can transmit the virus to others before showing symptoms.This means that the virus can spread between people interacting in close proximity—for example, speaking, coughing, or sneezing—even if those people are not exhibiting symptoms.
Cloth Face Covering Safety Measures:
- Wash your hands before putting on a face covering
- Don’t touch your face or the face covering during usage
- Wash the face covering before using it again
- Face coverings are not a substitute for staying home or social distancing, especially when ill.
- The purchase of N95 respirator masks should be reserved for healthcare workers and first responders.
A cloth face covering is a material that covers the nose and mouth. It can be secured to the head with ties or straps or simply wrapped around the lower face. It can be made of a variety of materials, such as cotton, silk, or linen. A cloth face covering may be factory-made or sewn by hand, or can be improvised from household items such as scarfs, T-shirts, sweatshirts, or towels.
If you don't have a cloth face covering, you can make your own!
