Public Health Orders

UPDATE December 28, 2021: The County of Santa Clara Health Officer issued a health order requiring up-to-date COVID-19 vaccination for workers in certain higher-risk settings in light of the rapid surge in cases due to the Omicron variant. The new order builds on recent changes in the State Health Officer’s vaccination requirements by mandating up-to-date vaccination by workers in certain healthcare and long-term care settings.  Under the new local health order, by January 24, 2022, workers must be up-to-date on their vaccination (i.e., both fully vaccinated and boosted against COVID-19 if eligible for a booster) in these higher-risk settings:

• skilled nursing facilities, long-term care facilities, adult day care facilities, and memory care facilities;
• healthcare delivery facilities (such as hospitals, clinics, medical offices, dialysis centers) where patient care is provided, as well as medical first responders;
• jails and other correctional facilities; and
• congregate shelters.

  The August 2, 2021 Health Order requiring universal indoor masking remains in effect throughout Santa Clara County.
