“Because [farmworkers are] nervous about the idea of the shelter-in-place orders, what’s going to happen to them? They live paycheck to paycheck...If our ag workers don’t keep working, we’re not going to have fruits and veggies in the markets” kqed.org/news/11808267/… #COVID19

“My biggest concern with the undocumented residents is that they’re going to be scared to come in and be checked and ask for a test, even though we know that they’re sick”
