Ordinance is effective immediately and is applicable County wide
San Benito County: On January 15, 2021 at a Special Meeting the San Benito County Board of Supervisors by a 4/5th vote adopted a proposed COVID-19 Administrative Penalty Ordinance which is effective immediately.
The ordinance was recommended by an Ad Hoc Committee assigned by Board of Supervisors Chair, Mark Medina at the last regular board meeting on January 12, 2021.
Ad Hoc committee members, Supervisor Kollin Kosmicki and Supervisor Bob Tiffany recommended the conditions contained in the ordinance as a direct response to the recent surge in COVID-19 cases, local hospital icu capacity, and the drastic increase in deaths of San Benito County residents.
This ordinance coincides with all orders of the State Public Health Officer, state guidance documents issued for businesses and activities that have been adopted or approved by the County Health Officer, as well as any state guidance and directives posted on www.covid19.ca.gov including the California Department of Public Health Guidance for Face Coverings.
Prior to the use of any enforcement measures, efforts will focus on providing education, resources and/or guidance to that business or organization on compliance. If violations or non-compliance continue, the following enforcement actions may be taken:

Vaccination Interest Portal is Live
This platform is only for those individuals identified is Phase 1b and is not to schedule an appointment
San Benito County –San Benito County Public Health Services COVID-19 Vaccine Interest Portal is now live. Residents of San Benito County who are identified in Phase 1b Tier 1 and 2 can complete the interest form which will provide Public Health Services the ability to notify those interested about where they may obtain a vaccination as the phase and tiers progress. It is not a vaccination appointment system; it is a tool to eventually schedule a vaccination appointment. COVID-19 vaccines are allocated from CDPH. All counties, including San Benito, are allocated a limited supply of vaccine at this time due to manufacturer limitations. It is uncertain from week to week how much vaccine will be made available to the county.
The Vaccination Interest Portal can be found here: https://hhsa.cosb.us/covid-19-vaccine-info/
- This portal is available in multiple languages and those without internet or computer/smartphone access should contact 831-636-4113 for assistance.

San Benito County – January 13, 2021: The County is moving swiftly through the COVID-19 vaccination Phase 1A and its tiers. As this phase nears completion, the state has announced that in order to vaccinate those at greatest risk of COVID-19 complications, individuals age 65 and older will be prioritized to receive the vaccine as the demand in Phase 1A subsides.
In order to reach the age 65 and older population as more vaccine becomes available, the county is planning to conduct mass vaccination clinics that will vaccinate as many San Benito County residents in Phase 1B as quickly as possible. Although expediency is a priority, these mass vaccination clinics will require unique safety considerations including physical distancing, masks and enhanced sanitation efforts.
Simultaneously, while planning and deploying these mass vaccination clinics, San Benito County healthcare providers, including pharmacies, private doctors and clinics are registering with California Department of Public Health (CDPH) to become vaccinators.
Today the Governor announced a new State system to inform individuals if they are eligible to receive a vaccine and if not yet eligible, to register for a notification via email or text when eligible. This system will help counties, cities and others run mass vaccination events. This will include a way for eligible members of the public to schedule their vaccination appointments at those events. This new state platform is scheduled for release in the next week. In the interim San Benito County Public Health Services has created an online vaccination interest form for Phase 1b tier 1 and 2 eligible individuals. This interest form will allow those in Phase 1b to complete an online COVID-19 vaccination interest form which will add them to a contact list. Individuals will then be informed about where they may obtain a vaccination as the phases and tiers progress. It is not a vaccination appointment; it is a tool to eventually schedule a vaccination appointment. This webform will be available January, 14, 2021 and can be access at www.sbccovid19.us.
As the county moves towards Phase 1B, vaccine rollout continues to be determined by vaccine and personnel availability. COVID-19 vaccines are allocated from CDPH. All counties, including San Benito, are allocated a limited supply of vaccine at this time due to manufacturer limitations. It is uncertain from week to week how much vaccine will be made available to the county.
CDPH also provides direction to counties as to which phases and tiers of vaccine delivery can be engaged, and which individuals should be vaccinated. Thus far, the focus has been on individuals at elevated risk of infection, or at elevated risk of hospitalization or death if infected. San Benito County can only provide vaccinations to individuals in the phases and tiers that CDPH has directed the counties to vaccinate.

Additionally, in effect is Cal/OSHA’s emergency regulations requiring employers to protect workers from hazards related to COVID-19.
The emergency standards apply to most workers in California not covered by Cal/OSHA’s Aerosol Transmissible Diseases standard. The regulations require that employers implement a site-specific written COVID-19 prevention program to address COVID-19 health hazards, correct unsafe or unhealthy conditions and provide face coverings. When there are multiple COVID-19 infections or outbreaks at the worksite, employers must provide COVID-19 testing and notify public health departments. The regulations also require accurate recordkeeping and reporting of COVID-19 cases.
Cal/OSHA has posted FAQs and a one-page fact sheet on the regulation, as well as a model COVID-19 prevention program. Employers are invited to participate in no-cost training webinars held by Cal/OSHA’s Consultation Services branch.
Cal/OSHA helps protect workers from health and safety hazards on the job in almost every workplace in California. Employers and workers who have questions or need assistance with workplace health and safety programs can call Cal/OSHA’s Consultation Services Branch at 800-963-9424.
Complaints about workplace safety and health hazards can be filed confidentially with Cal/OSHA district offices.
