LAST 12 Aug, 10:55 p.m. The Santa Rosa City Council unanimously voted to pass a system of fines to individuals and business owners who harm local health care providers.
Landlords are exempt from the fine system, with the city council arguing that it would be “unfair” to punish landlords for acts committed by tenants.
Aug 12, 10:45 p.m. In a last-minute change, teachers in the San Jose Unified School District will be allowed to work from home.
Less than 24 hours before the start of the school year, the teachers, who were previously prepared to deliver virtual lectures from empty classrooms, were informed by the district that they could work from home. The previous policy of providing instruction from low classes was not popular among teachers.
Aug. 12, 9:30 p.m. The World Health Organization urges individuals to delay dental check-ups during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Their procedures include face-to-face communication and frequent exposure to saliva, blood, and other body fluids and the handling of sharp instruments,” reads a newly released guide. “Hence, they are at high risk of being infected with SARS-CoV-2 or passing the infection on to patients.”
Aug 12 9:20 p.m. Researchers at UCSF say they have developed a synthetic, production-ready molecule that provides protection against the new coronavirus.
Named “AeroNabs”, the aerosol formulation can be administered once a day via a nasal spray or an inhaler.
“Much more effective than portable forms of personal protective equipment, we think of AeroNabs as a molecular form of PPE that can serve as a major stopgap until vaccines provide a more permanent solution to COVID-19,” said UCSF biochemistry professor Peter Walter.
The UCSF research team is in talks with commercial partners to increase manufacturing and clinical trials.
Aug 12 7.45 p.m. The Santa Clara Board of Supervisors unanimously approved fines for individuals and businesses that violated the province’s health care system.
Misuse of wearing a mask in public or keeping necessary distance can now result in a fine ranging from $ 25 to $ 500, and companies that damage the health order can receive fines of up to $ 5000.
“Anyone who thinks we do not need aggressive action should look at the chart to see how many tests we are or are not getting,” said Supervisor Joe Simitian. “Lives are on point.”
