Updates on City of San José Services and/or Operations
  • Disaster Preparation and Recovery: The City of San José and Joint Venture Silicon Valley are supporting a free workshop to connect businesses with resources needed to adequately prepare for and recover from all types of disasters. The workshop, hosted by the statewide Outsmart Disaster campaign, will be held Wednesday, June 30, from 2 to 3 p.m. Registration for the workshop is required.
Updates from the State of California
  • Cal/OSHA Lifts Mask Requirements: Effective June 18, California's Occupational Safety and Health Standards Board approved a new set of changes to its COVID-19 emergency standards which are in compliance with guidance from the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Those new standards allow vaccinated workers to go maskless in most indoor and outdoor settings and remove physical distancing requirements. Unvaccinated workers are still advised to wear a mask in indoor settings. Employers are also required to keep some respirators on hand, such as N95 masks, for unvaccinated workers, and are expected to keep a log of which employees have been vaccinated. The rules allow employees to self-attest regarding COVID-19 vaccine status.
  • New Digital Vaccine Record: The state recently launched a new Digital COVID-19 Vaccine Record for Californians to access their record from the state's immunization registry systems. The digital record shows the same information as the paper CDC vaccine card. It also includes a QR code that makes this same information readable by a QR scanner. The new system, built by the state, follows national standards for security and privacy.
Updates from Santa Clara CountyCOVID-19 Vaccine, Testing, Tracing, and Support Services
  • County COVID-19 Vaccine Raffles: The County of Santa Clara, the SAP Center, the Golden State Warriors, and the City of San José are collaborating to raffle off more than 100 tickets to upcoming events and other prizes to anyone who gets a COVID-19 vaccine at select County-run vaccination sites* in the next few weeks, ending July 28.

    If you get vaccinated between June 23 and June 29, you will be entered to win tickets to Alejandro Fernandez (10/15/21), Marc Anthony (12/17/21), Trevor Noah: Back to Abnormal World Tour (12/10/21), Golden State Warriors tickets  (date negotiable), a Steph Curry autographed ball, or a Klay Thompson autographed jersey. The raffle for these prizes will take place June 30 on the Santa Clara Public Health Department's Instagram Live (@scc_publichealth) feed.

    Individuals who have already been vaccinated will be eligible for the raffle if they bring proof of vaccination and accompany an unvaccinated person to a County-operated clinic for a vaccine. For a full schedule of vaccine clinics this week and the latest information about COVID-19 vaccines in Santa Clara County, please visit www.sccfreevax.org.

    • County test sites provide COVID-19 tests free of charge, regardless of immigration status, and no doctor's note is needed. For people without COVID-19 symptoms, the County currently offers indoor and drive-through sites. People with symptoms are directed to drive-through sites to reduce the chance of getting others sick.

    All healthcare systems are required by the County order to offer free testing to symptomatic persons, persons who have been exposed to a confirmed COVID-19 case, and all essential workers. For more information on testing rights, see our Frequently Asked Questions page.

    All test sites are mapped on the County's website at www.sccfreetest.org. The site is available in English, Spanish, Vietnamese, Chinese, and Tagalog. Information is also available by calling 2-1-1.
