 Hello, I am Tom Schwedhelm, Mayor of Santa Rosa. Last night, Governor Newsom announced a statewide shelter-in-place order that is now in effect for California until further notice. The order means all Californians must stay home, except for essential reasons such as trips to pick up food, medical appointments, or to go outside for a walk, run, or other exercises. The governor's order underscores the severity of the situation all communities are facing, and I applaud his actions to further slow the spread of coronavirus across our state. While much of the governor's order aligns with Sonoma County's order, the City of Santa Rosa is working in partnership with other local jurisdictions to analyze the governor's order. Once we have determined if there are additional restrictive measures that need to be implemented locally, we will provide an update. The only way to prevent the spread of the coronavirus is to stay at home and only leave for truly essential activities. If you must leave your home, be hyper-vigilant of the health and well-being of others. Think about all the people we all rely on to provide essential services, like our health care workers, public safety personnel, utility workers, and food service providers. Be responsible and stay at home if you or someone in your household is sick. For more information, please visit srcity.org slash prevent the spread or call 211. I know this is a new way of living and it's challenging, but together we can slow the spread of coronavirus and protect lives. Thank you.
