Title
RECEIVE UPDATES AND TAKE NECESSARY ACTIONS REGARDING THE COVID-19 AND MONKEYPOX EMERGENCY RESPONSES, AND ADOPT A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING CONTINUANCE OF TELECONFERENCED PUBLIC MEETINGS (DISTRICTS: ALL)
Body
OVERVIEW
As seen nationwide, community transmission of the COVID-19 and monkeypox (MPOX) viruses are occurring locally and as a result, San Diego County currently has two active emergency responses. As a leader in infectious disease control within California and across the United States, the preparation for and response to communicable disease events, outbreaks, and emerging infectious disease threats remain high priorities for the County of San Diego (County). The County continues to make significant, ongoing efforts to address these health emergencies with sustainable approaches.
Today's actions request the Board to receive an update on the local COVID-19 response; adopt a resolution entitled RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING CONTINUANCE OF TELECONFERENCED PUBLIC MEETINGS PURSUANT TO GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 54953; and receive an update on the monkeypox local health emergency response and to find that there is a continuing need for the local health emergency.
This item supports the County's vision of a just, sustainable, and resilient future for all, specifically those communities and populations in San Diego County that have been historically left behind, as well as our ongoing commitment to the regional Live Well San Diego vision of healthy, safe, and thriving communities. This will be accomplished by protecting the health of residents against the COVID-19 pandemic and the monkeypox outbreak.
