Rebecca Jones, the mayor of the City of San Marcos, California, issues a message regarding the City's response to COVID-19. In the video, Mayor Jones issues the following call to action for all citizens: Be a HERO in your community! Take these four critical steps today: 1. Help prevent the spread of COVID-19 by following all government orders and guidelines. Everyone in California is required to stay home except to get food, care for a relative or friend, get necessary health care, or go to an essential job. 2. Educate yourself with facts, not rumors. It’s more important than ever to share factual information and not inadvertently spread misinformation. Share official updates from your City, County, State and the CDC. 3. Remain calm. Practice kindness and compassion at home and in the community – even when that means practicing social distancing of at least six feet to keep each other safe. 4. Opt in for emergency alerts. Sign up for E-news Alerts at www.san-marcos.net/alerts. Register for the County’s COVID-19 Text Message Alert System by texting COSD COVID19 to 468-311. By taking these steps, we can help protect the health and safety of our families, friends, neighbors and our global community.
