Put disinfection protocols in place. Establish physical distancing guidelines. Establish universal face covering requirements (with allowed exceptions). See CDPH guidelines (PDF). Post your completed checklist so everyone can know the steps you’ve taken. Feel free to add more safety measures to the ones included in your industry’s guidance. Employer Policies and Resources It’s important that employees with C​​OVID-19 know they should stay home. Your sick leave policies need to support that. Workers also need safe and reliable childcare options during the COVID-19 response. See information on: Government programs supporting COVID-19 sick leave and workers’ compensation Family friendly practices for employers (PDF) Find childcare​ Support for working families (PDF) CDPH guidance for the use of face coverings (PDF) Counties are required to remain in an assigned tier for a minimum of three weeks and must meet the criteria for the next tier for two consecutive weeks before being able to advance to the next tier. “To advance back into the Red Tier 2, Sacramento County needs to have lower daily case rates. The only way to do that is to do what we know works,” said Sacramento County Health Officer Dr. Olivia Kasirye. “We all have a part in this and we must be committed to social distancing measures in public spaces (6ft apart, wear face coverings, wash hands, etc.) and to avoid gathering with non-household members.”
