Governor Newsom issued a proclamation terminating California’s COVID-19 State of Emergency effective February 28,
        2023. As such, the County of Monterey is actively working on updated existing COVID-19 policies, procedures and
        protocols to ensure compliance with ongoing California Division of Occupational Safety and Health (CalOSHA) COVID-
        19 workplace requirements.

        California’s COVID-19 State of Emergency termination effective February 28, 2023, also includes the expiration of COVID-
        19 emergencies declared by local governments effective 60 days after February 28, 2023. As such, the County’s declared
        COVID-19 emergency is set to expire at the end of April 2023. With this expiration, the County’s Emergency Response
        Manual & COVID-19 Prevention Program will be retired along with all of its emergency provisions.

        Although there will no longer be a declared emergency in place, employers will be required to maintain a COVID-19
        Prevention Program in accordance with CalOSHA requirements. To meet this requirement the Human Resources
        Department is actively working with the County’s Safety Officer to establish a stand alone COVID-19 Prevention Program
        which will outline the continued safety protocols that departments will be required to follow with regard to COVID-19.
        Additional information will be provided to departments later this month regarding the County’s COVID-19 Prevention
        Program.

        The County is committed to providing a healthy and safe work environment for employees and will continue to adhere
        to all guidance from the California Department of Public Health and CalOSHA requirements with respect to COVID-19.
