Moving beyond Phase 2, which the county is in now, will begin to allow businesses including hair salons, gyms, theaters and restaurants with indoor dining to reopen with proper social distancing protocol.Looking ahead, Slocum urged locals to remain vigilant in observing safe practices to assure reopening advances smoothly.“It’s up to all of us to continue to wear face coverings and to maintain social distancing so we can continue to reopen both the economy and our social lives in a safe manner,” he said in a prepared statement.There were 2,625 confirmed coronavirus cases in San Mateo County reported Tuesday, with 99 deaths linked to the disease and 29 patients hospitalized, 10 of who are occupying intensive care beds. Of the confirmed cases, 1,215 are Latino, 391 are white, 385 are Asian and 565 are unknown.As the fight against COVID-19 progresses, county District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe warned against the rising threat of scammers pretending to be contact tracers attempting to trick locals into divulging valuable, private information.If caller ID shows “California COVID Team,” it is likely a verified contact tracer attempting to track potential exposure to coronavirus. Tracers will only ask about symptoms and contacts, but will never ask about financial and insurance information or request Social Security numbers, said Wagstaffe said in a prepared statement.Any suspicious calls should be reported to the District Attorney’s Office at 363-4651 or to local police departments.×××While I can’t wait for businesses to open up, I feel we are moving too fast. If you look at other states that have Opened up, some are closing again. If you are going to open up, I really feel people should keep the facemasks on.
