How-to Guide

Stay home if you are sick. Do not gather in groups or engage in group activities. Keep a 6-foot distance from others at all times. Comply with park amenity closures and stay out of these areas: including dog parks; tennis, pickle ball, futsal, and basketball courts; outdoor gym equipment and playgrounds; picnic and barbecue areas; drinking fountains; restrooms; disc golf areas and sport fields.

Fire Department: The San Jose Fire Department (SJFD) is giving the public a peek at how firefighters practice social distancing in firehouses. View the latest safety video on the SJFD Department Facebook and Twitter pages and remember to keep at least 6 feet of distance apart. Everyone has a role to play in stopping the spread of COVID-19. Stay healthy, and stay home.

Updates from the County of Santa Clara

County of Santa Clara Recommends Cloth Face Coverings: The County is recommending when going out for essential activities that members of the public wear reusable, non-medical cloth face coverings.
