The drive thru flu clinic tentatively starts on <br />Sept 14, 8-6 and will be inviting Catrina to see what the flu clinic looks like. It was <br />announced that Kaiser is investing $63 million, in collaboration with the State of <br />California, to support contact tracing efforts. The funding will go the Public Health <br />Institute to target communities disproportionately affected by COVID. <br />San Leandro Hospital reported that they treat COVID patients. They are following all <br />healthcare orders, including having staff wear PPE. They are monitoring the fires and <br />the smoke, and in case of the need to evacuate or accept patients from areas that <br />need evacuation they have fortified facilities as much as possible, by using charcoal <br />filters and have HEPA filters in high traffic areas, near electric doors. They are also <br />preparing for the Great Shakeout Exercise. <br />Davis Street Family Resource Center reported that they are seeing an uptick in the <br />number of positive cases, especially in large households.

They are working with the cities to develop a list of <br />locations for temporary evacuation points, such as large parking lots. Red Cross had <br />to open two small shelters in Livermore for one day during the fires, and others for <br />other fires in the state. <br />School Districts <br />• San Leandro <br />• San Lorenzo <br />2.E. <br />San Leandro Unified reported that they had a successful opening on the Monday Aug <br />17 and staff are working to make sure that all students are having their needs met, <br />including distributing Chromebooks, internet hot spots, textbooks and educational <br />packets.
