【綜合編譯】周一，灣區六個縣在一份聯合聲明中宣布，由於新型冠狀病毒大流行，他們將把臨時庇護令的期限延長到5月底。
加州灣區六個縣周一在一份聯合聲明中宣布，由於新型冠狀病毒大流行，他們將把就地庇護令延長至5月底。
延長就地庇護令覆蓋的六個縣為：阿拉米達，康特拉·科斯塔，馬林，舊金山，聖馬特奧和聖克拉拉縣，以及擁有自己的公共衛生部門的伯克利市。
衛生官員說，預計將在本周晚些時候公布全部細節，並且“將包括放寬對少數低風險活動的具體限製。”
目前，灣區對六個縣的就地庇護令限製原定於5月3日到期，盡管加利福尼亞州3月份發布的全州範圍內的在家限足令沒有設定截止日期。
以下是灣區七名衛生官員關於即將對現有的臨時庇護令進行的延長和修訂的聯合聲明：
“Later this week, the Public Health Officers of the Counties of
Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, San Francisco, San Mateo, and Santa
Clara as well as the City of Berkeley will issue revised
shelter-in-place orders that largely keep the current restrictions
in place and extend them through May. The new order will include
limited easing of specific restrictions for a small number of
lower-risk activities.
The shelter-in-place orders in effect across the seven
jurisdictions are set to expire on May 3, 2020. Thanks to the
collective effort and sacrifice of the 7 million residents across
our jurisdictions, we have made substantial progress in slowing the
spread of the novel coronavirus, ensuring our local hospitals are
not overwhelmed with COVID-19 cases, and saving lives. At this
stage of the pandemic, however, it is critical that our collective
efforts continue so that we do not lose the progress we have
achieved together. Hospitalizations have leveled, but more work is
needed to safely re-open our communities. Prematurely lifting
restrictions could easily lead to a large surge in cases.
The Health Officers will also release a set of broad indicators
that will be used to track progress in preparedness and response to
COVID-19, in alignment with the framework being used by the State
of California. Future easing of restrictions requires that each
jurisdiction and various sectors continue to rapidly build critical
infrastructure and systems to respond to and control the spread of
coronavirus infections and to ensure the health care system’s
ability to meet demand.
This global pandemic of COVID-19 is still in its early stages.
The virus spreads easily, testing capacity is limited and expanding
slowly, and vaccine development is just beginning. We expect to be
responding to COVID-19 in our communities for a long time. As
effective as our efforts have been, if we move too fast to ease
restrictions, the potential of exponential spread could have grave
impacts to health and wellness of our residents as well as the
economy.
The Health Officers of these seven jurisdictions have been
working closely together in leading a unified, regional approach,
to protect the health and safety of our residents. Details
regarding this next phase will be shared later in the week, along
with the updated order.”
