RECOVERY & REOPENING

COUNTY OF GLENN MAY 12, 2020

OVERVIEW

• The impact of COVID-19 has differed across the State and the nation.
• While some counties are still in the initial stabilization phase in California
• There are a number of less affected counties., including Glenn County.
• The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) has provided a

method for counties to demonstrate an ability to protect the public and essential workers, in order to move through Stage 2 of California’s Roadmap to Recovery at a faster pace than the state as a whole.

RECOVERY & SUSTAINMENT

• It is essential for our community to move from Response to Recovery &

Sustainment phase.

• Our response has diminished due to inactivity of the virus.
• Recovery now will promote the overall health and well-being of our

community and provide the ability for our small, rural community to survive.

RECOVERY & REOPENING PLAN

• Glenn County Recovery & Reopening Plan addresses:
• Health based indicators required by CDPH to achieve before further

reopening

• Sustainment – Mitigation and containment measures
• Assist in the management of the disease while balancing daily life
• Reopening - Phased reopening of the County based on the CA Resilience

Roadmap four stages

INDICATOR BASED RECOVERY & SUSTAINMENT

• CDPH Readiness criteria is based on 6 health based indicators or

benchmarks

• Indicators are designed to:
• Ensure our ability to care for the sick within our hospitals,
• Prevent infection in people who are at high risk for severe disease,
• Build the capacity to protect the health and well-being of the pubic, and
• Reduce social, emotional and economic disruptions

DISEASE MANAGEMENT

• Glenn County Public Health has a detailed plan to guide response to an infectious

disease emergency, entitled the Glenn County Special Pathogens Infectious Disease Emergency Response Plan (SPIDER).

• The SPIDER Plan provides guidance and procedures for the identification, investigation,

and mitigation of highly infectious disease including emerging or novel viruses, such as SARS-COVID 19.

• The SPIDER plan provides public health with a series of mitigation and containment

measures that can be implemented to minimize the spread of infectious disease in the community.

DISEASE CONTAINMENT

• Triggers for prompting the increased use of mitigation and containment

strategies:

• Illness outbreak of more than 5 unlinked cases in a 14 day period
• Illness (multiple cases) in a Skilled Nursing or Long Term Care facility
• Increased COVID-like illness as reported healthcare partners in a situation reports

and EMS data

• Increased exposure from a documented case (i.e. positive case exposed multiple

people at a workplace or other identified point source)

• Increase in COVID deaths

SURVEILLANCE

• The following data sources will be used for surveillance and monitoring for

disease activity:

• Regional medical and EMS data will be monitored
• Local healthcare facilities will continue to provide at least weekly situation reports
• Local and regional testing will be monitored
• Case investigation and contact tracing will be conducted
• Coroner reports will be reviewed
• The data sources are currently reviewed daily by the EOC – Public Health branch.

DISEASE MITIGATION MEASURES

• Should an increase in illness occur, targeted mitigation measures will be

employed as determined by Public Health. This could include one or more of the following:

• Increased monitoring of exposed contacts
• Stricter quarantine of contacts
• Increased recommended use of PPE
• Recommended reduction in worksite staff
• Sanitation of a specific facility
• Closure or partial closure of a specific facility
