Shelter in place order for Fresno beginning at midnight until March 31st by Mayor @MayorLeeBrand and City Council to limit coronavirus Spread. @JoaquinArambula says economic impact and health issues will be hard. 
74000 beds available with 11,000 ICU beds. Some new ventilators and beds purchased says Assemblyman Arambula. Must protect our vulnerable elderly and immigrant brothers. Social distancing and work from home if possible. Not everyone is taking social distancing seriously.
Even if you don’t exhibit symptoms you can be a carrier of this pandemic. Economy: lives are different from just a week ago. Small Business Administration approved loans for small businesses. Fresno Co. only approved that yesterday and will place is in the back of the line.
Thanks health care personnel for putting themselves in harms way. We must focus on the safety of our citizens. Volunteer if you can. Together we will get thru this. Thank you” and concludes Assemblyman’s comments. Mayor asks people to stay home unless getting groceries/ doctor’s
Appointments. We hope to lessen the spread of this virus this way. There are exemptions to businesses like health care, law enforcement, food chain, etc. This will be tough the next few weeks. Lack of testing is a problem. Arambula: flatten the curve is necessary as we have limit
to number of health beds available. @MiguelArias_D3 met with County officials. Only 200 tested so far in Fresno County. @GarryBredefeld thanks law enforcement, food chain workers. Continue to order food to pick up or deliver. Read CDC guidelines. We have nothing to fear but fear
itself. We need to not love our lives in fear. Concern of shelter in place because we don’t have enough data from County. Clovis hasn’t issued this type of order. Homelsss are exempt from this order. That should not happen. We need a coordinated effort otherwise residents can
Go to clovis for goods. 70 employees being laid off at Elbow Room. South Korea didn’t shut down entire economy. We are behind on testing. Blaming County is the wrong approach. Fear can’t rule the day. We will overcome this. Ends Bredefeld comments. @kmkarbassi we are unified with
The Mayor and the county. We don’t take this lightly. Not the time for Political speeches. Ends Karbassi’s comments. Mayor : hard to know what is too much or too little in response as we don’t have enough data. @MarkStandriff we will have more info on website soon Ends this
Special Meeting.
