Hay mucha información alrededor del mundo sobre el COVID-19, ¿pero ¿qué pasa en nuestra área específica?

Habrá tiempo para preguntas y tiempo para discutir como podemos seguir los consejos de seguridad aun cuando nuestras circunstancias personales no fácilmente permiten eso.

TUESDAY JULY 14TH – 6:00PM – 7:30PM via Zoom.
*Available in English, Spanish, and Mixteco*
Months after the onset of COVID-19 in CA, our community is both seeing a rise in COVID+ cases and confusion about what health practices are still being asked of us all as our local businesses begin to re-open. To keep our community safe and to flatten the inequitable curve of COVID+ cases, the Thriving Immigrants Collaborative (TIC) will provide the most up-to-date information in English and Spanish on what COVID-19 looks like in Santa Cruz County, how to continue keeping our families safe as the community re-opens. Register to hear directly from Santa Cruz County’s Health Officer, Dr. Gail Newel, on the latest data and demographics of COVID in SCC, updates from the state, SCC’s public health response, key community messages, and resources for people who test COVID+. Salud Para La Gente medical provider, Dr. Flavio Cornejo DO, will present on individual and collective COVID prevention, where to get free testing, and where to access medical care if you don’t have health insurance.
Attendees will have a chance to ask questions and discuss their favorite ways to take care of themselves during difficult times.
