SANTA BARBARA, Caliph. – The Santa Barbara City Council was persuaded to vote unanimously to keep some restaurants and bar / restaurants open until 12:30 p.m. They had closed at 10 a.m., despite their license to prevent the spread of COVID- 19.
The vote enters directly into the Central Business District, the Funk Zone, and Coast Village Road.

If a worker positively tests the public administrator of the Santa Barbara County Public Emergency Measure, Jan Koegler said there are steps they need to take.
“Employees should tell their employer if they are testing positive or if someone in their household is testing positive,” Koegler said.
She said employers should tell the employee to stay home and self-isolate and determine the last day that it was working and whether they were within a few days within a few days within a few meters before they had symptoms or before they were tested. .
“Make a list of employees, contractors and others who have been in close contact with the person,” Koegler said. Those people should be instructed to quarantine at home.
Koegler said there is no reason to fear contact tracing because they rely on confidentiality. “You should not disclose the name of the employee who tested positive,” says Koegler, “while telling people that they may have been in contact with someone.”
Public Health staff can help determine when these people can report to work. If someone has symptoms, they should wait at least 10 days before returning to work and should be fever-free for the last 24 hours.
COVID-19 presents with a variety of symptoms, so employees should be reminded to stay home with all the symptoms, including a neck pain, a cough or cold, stomach pain, loss of taste or smell, or a headache. Even mild symptoms are a reason to stay home.

Supervisor Gregg Hart said they rely on personal responsibility and making good decisions.
“We are all trying to come to the same page when it comes to enforcement and enforcement tools so that we can have the maximum impact on behavior and in the least introductory way,” Hart said.
Personal hygiene, wearing masks and physical distances are the key to keeping people healthy and committed.
