Directors Message 

    I have received numerous questions asking when will the senior center be reopening. I thought I would share with you the process I go through each morning.

    I visit the Lake County, CA, Public Health-COVID-19 website. I surf through sites covering rates of infections, testing, news, safety measures. I do this so I can make an informed decision as it pertains to the day-to-day operations of the senior center. I also want to keep our members, staff, volunteers, and patrons safe and to ensure I’m following all of the Health Orders.

    It is way too early to predict what will happen in the next few months—let alone to set expectations to remove masks. Some of the variables that will influence when these benchmarks will be identified include: if our cases continue to decrease through the holiday season, if no variants of concern emerge, if our hospitals are not stressed, and if the health department rescinds the health order requiring the wearing of masks indoors.

    Until all of the above happens, patience. We need to protect the health of all our seniors. This pandemic is a proven killer. And the potential for that is high, especially for our age group.

    There is a possibility that proof of vaccination will be required. I’d rather be safe than sorry. How about you?

    Unvaccinated individuals account for 99% of new infections. Everyone: I want to see each and every one of you when this subsides to manageable. So remain vigilant.
