Leads the COVID-10 Taskforce.
– REPORT on how air conditioning systems MIGHT spread the virus. Depends on the flow of the “air stream”. Best to open a window and increase the circulation of air if you can. Decrease re-circulation if you can.
– REPORT that the N95 masks are good and KN95, also good, means it was made in China!!! D.O.H.C. “fit tests” their masks for “patient facing” employees.
– DISCUSSION of the “contact tracing” unit D.O.H.C. that has been started. How D.O.H.C. assesses employees who test positive and how they are allowed to return to work eventually. D.O.H.C. test employees TWICE before they are allowed to return.
– DISCUSSION that most people who are infected HAVE NO SYMPTOMS and early on may not have a temperature.
– REPORT ON TESTING…..DOHC members call (760) 969-6555 for FREE testing thru DOHC, and ANYONE may call to get advice and information. Turn-around time is now up to 4 to 5 days. Positive results are around 10%. County has 11 sites for testing.
