According to the <br />Orange County Health Agency, the city of Santa Ana has one of the highest number of COVID-19 cases with a <br />total of 1,939 cases. You have the authority to protect the working class community in Santa Ana. Individuals <br />from the city of Santa Ana continue to be one of the most vulnerable communities comprising a majority of <br />Latinos/as, with migrant families. For these reasons, many community members do not have access to <br />affordable health care and have still been forced to hold essential jobs during the pandemic. <br /> <br />One way you can protect us is by making masks mandatory in the City of Santa Ana. According to the World <br />Health Organization, one of the ways to protect ourselves from COIVD-19 continues to be wearing masks/face <br />coverings. I have provided all the links to research and provided data below. <br /> <br />Orange County Health Agency (Case counts by cities): https://occovid19.ochealthinfo.com/coronavirus-in-oc <br />World Health Organization (COVID-19 advice for the <br />public): https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/advice-for-public <br /> <br />Thank you, <br />Alejandra Lopez <br />1 <br />
