Santa Clara County is currently implementing the state's Regional Stay at Home Order. The order will remain in effect until lifted by health authorities. Do your part to stop the spread of COVID-19 and protect our health care system. It is more critical than ever to stay at home as much as possible and do not gather with people outside your household. If you run essential errands or perform essential work, wear a face covering and keep six feet apart from others.
