GUIDELINES FOR RE-OPENING THE GOLF COURSE OPENING THE COUNTRY CLUB CITYWIDE REOPENING PLAN Introduction ●This plan is an addendum to the United States COVID-19 Response Plan and will cover the actions that will be necessary as the response phase transitions into recovery and the reopening of the economy here within Seal Beach. Unknown time frame CITYWIDE REOPENING PLAN ●The City of Seal Beach plans to implement a phased response with specific actionable items correlated to triggering events based on guidance from the following entities: ●Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ●California Department of Public Health (CDPH) ●Orange County Department of Public Health ●In a Public Health Emergency, however, state and county public health officials may direct orders that supersede the plan. Response Phases CITYWIDE REOPENING PLAN Response Phases CITYWIDE REOPENING PLAN There have been various white papers and proposals written on when and how to reopen the economy with varying timeframes and mechanisms. Governor Newsom stated that before any stay-at-home orders could be lifted, the following six indicators must be met: • 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. Prerequisites for Reopening CITYWIDE REOPENING PLAN What do each one of these mean? • The ability to monitor and protect our communities through testing, contact tracing, isolating, and supporting those who are positive or exposed\ State officials say they are looking at how prepared healthcare workers is to test Californians who are symptomatic of COVID-19 or if they have the resources to contact individuals who have tested positive to prevent spreading. Officials said the state would continue to train the healthcare workforce as they gain access to testing for all. Prerequisites for Reopening - Continued CITYWIDE REOPENING PLAN What do each one of these mean? • The ability to prevent infection in people who are at risk for more severe COVID-19 State officials said they are looking at the resources available to help groups who are at risk of contracting the virus, such as seniors, to help them remain physically distant from society. The state said they would also look to put programs in place to help groups that are congregated, such as those in nursing homes, schools, the homeless and incarcerated individuals, to be prepared to stop spreading the virus. Prerequisites for Reopening - Continued CITYWIDE REOPENING PLAN What do each one of these mean? • The ability of the hospital and health systems to handle surges State officials said when stay-at-home orders ease, hospitals may see surges of coronavirus. Gov. Newsom said they are looking at whether hospitals have the bed capacity and PPE supplies to handle surges before stay-at-home orders are modified. Newsom said they are also monitoring whether hospitals can respond to the surges while treating everyday health care needs. Prerequisites for Reopening - Continued CITYWIDE REOPENING PLAN What do each one of these mean? • The ability to develop therapeutics Newsom and health officials stressed the importance of therapeutics, particularly in the absence of a vaccine. Officials said they plan to continue to engage research partners and national labs and have a coalition in place to research therapeutics. Prerequisites for Reopening - Continued CITYWIDE REOPENING PLAN What do each one of these mean? • The ability for businesses, schools and child care facilities to support physical distancing Newsom discussed the importance of "redrawing floor plans" when it comes to practicing safe physical distancing in schools, businesses and public places. The state wants to introduce strategic guidelines and expectations on what physical distancing would look like after a rollback of the stay-at-home order. Prerequisites for Reopening - Continued CITYWIDE REOPENING PLAN What do each one of these mean? • The ability to determine when to reinstitute certain measures if necessary State officials said they want to make sure they have plans in place to reintroduce the stay - at-home order (or other interventions) if the need arises after restrictions are loosened. The governor, however, emphasized that Californians need to continue to practice physical distancing. Prerequisites for Reopening - Continued CITYWIDE REOPENING PLAN Response/Reopening Phases CITYWIDE REOPENING PLAN This phase is characterized by a maximum mitigation strategy with all public health orders in full effect. Community spread is ongoing without any sustained decreases in infection.
