Safety tips while we are walking in Town:
While we are happy to see many residents using their time at home to take walks in the community we want to encourage our walkers to follow some safety rules.

When walking it is best to walk with traffic, especially in the absence of sidewalks. This will assist drivers and pedestrians in adhering to social distancing protocols.
Be mindful of vehicular and bicycle traffic while on mobile devices.

Managing and coping with stress:
Managing and coping with stress during the SIP Order will be important for us all as we move forward under these ever-changing conditions. San Mateo County Health offers help to support the well-being of those coping with the outbreak. To get more information click here.
