"Through a collaborative effort between Coastal Health Alliance, the Bolinas Fire Department, Marin County Department of Public Health, Mesa Park, volunteers, and UCSF Infectious Disease experts, all residents of Bolinas aged 4 and up can safely be tested for COVID-19, free of charge. Two Bolinas residents were motivated to make testing available to all in Bolinas. They presented the idea to UCSF Infectious Disease experts who felt that it would be very important to study a community like Bolinas that is rural (in addition to an urban community) to get an understanding of how COVID-19 has spread in California. There is no charge to be tested, but the study is being funded by donations from local Bolinas residents."

From a local: "This morning, about 10 to 15 high-end black vehicles, mostly sports cars, Porsches, BMWs, Teslas, were drag racing along Nicasio Valley Road from Point Reyes to Nicasio. They were recklessly passing people in slow zones, blind double yellow line curves, and were a danger to not only themselves, but to those of us who are also on the road.ï¿¼ï¿¼ They went towards Fairfax about 11:45 PM. Please report them to the CHP if you see them driving recklessly." (Thx MH)

WMF missed this story, but apparently there was some discussion about whether this pole spotted on the Point Reyes /Petaluma road recently was related to 5G. According to Dennis Rodoni, "Our PG&E Public Safety Specialist responded very quickly. It is a power pole for the 60 kilovolt transmission line in West Marin. It is a replacement pole and part of their infrastructure hardening initiative." (thx RL)

"While Marin residents continue to abide by the Stay At Home order and help flatten the curve, a stream of vacationers and visitors continue to occupy short-term rentals throughout the county. This increases the chance for community transmission of COVID-19 and is considered non-essential travel. After substantial guidance from the Marin Public Health, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention[External] and the California Department of Public Health[External], a new Health Order restricting the use of short-term lodging facilities will be in effect from 11:59 p.m. on April 9, 2020 through May 3, 2020"

"With the Easter weekend forecast calling for sunny skies, public officials are hoping to prevent another crush of West Marin beach visitors defying the coronavirus sheltering orders.

Acting as the Marin County director of emergency services, Supervisor Dennis Rodoni issued an emergency parking resolution Thursday designating no parking zones around parks and open space in unincorporated Marin.

"We are attempting to address specific issues of noncompliance by posting, warning, and ultimately citing violators," Rodoni said in an email. "We all as individuals, have a (role) in social distancing and sheltering in place, to protect our families, neighbors, and communities."

The new rule, which imposes a $100 fine on violators, aims to stop non-essential driving and parking in coastal Marin, Marin County sheriff's Sgt. Brenton Schneider said."

Via Point Reyes National Seashore: "PRNS continues to see visitors driving to the park. While Marin County encourages getting outside, do so near your home by non-motorized means. Walk or bike, but do not drive/park unless displaying a valid disabled person parking placard or license plate. If in the park by non-motorized means, maintain social distancing and follow all park regulations. Rangers will be on patrol enforcing parking and resource violations. #ShelterInPlace #StaySafe"

Heard a report that the West Marin Pharmacy was broken into last night. This is a huge shame on many levels, they were already struggling and this makes it that much worse. If you have any information or leads, please let the Marin County Sheriff's Office know. Losing the pharmacy would be a major loss for this community, especially during this crisis.

This is to keep your micro droplets away from other people: "In response to new guidance from the California Department of Public Health, the Marin County Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and Bay Area health officials are recommending that residents cover their nose and mouth when leaving home for essential travel, such as doctor appointments, grocery shopping or pharmacy visits. Resident face coverings do not have to be hospital grade but need to cover the nose and mouth. Home-sewn fabric coverings, bandanas, a "DIY" mask from an old t-shirt and neck gaiters are examples of acceptable face coverings, especially because they can be washed and worn again."

"California Governor Gavin Newsom is making an urgent appeal for anyone with health care experience to join the coronavirus fight. He has launched the California Health Corps, inviting medical retirees, part-timers and students to apply.

"If you're a nursing school student, a medical school student, we need you," said Newsom. "If you have just retired within the past five years, we need you."

The goal is to hire nearly 40,000 new personnel, from managers to paramedics, dentists to psychologists. It will require the relaxation of some licensing protocols and expand the scope of what some providers can do.

"We'll get you up and running and get you out the door so you can support the needs of the people of California," Newsom said at a Monday news conference."

"Marin County has aligned with seven Bay Area county health officers, and county superintendents to make a unified, regional decision to extend school closures and student dismissals from regular school attendance through May 1, 2020 to slow the spread of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) to the maximum extent. The safety and wellness of students, school personnel, and the community are the highest priorities of all schools and districts in these six counties.

School facilities may remain open to staff for the purposes of performing tasks deemed essential by the school district and the county offices of education. Education will continue through flexible learning, meals will continue to be provided and, where possible, childcare may be arranged."
