LA COUNTY LAUNCHES COVID-19 SAFETY COMPLIANCE CERTIFICATION PROGRAM, MOBILE APP 'SAFEPASS' IS NOW AVAILABLE TO COUNTY RESIDENTS, AND GREAT PLATES DELIVERED

The County of Los Angeles is regularly updating resources on COVID-19 and offers today's update in an effort to keep you and yours informed. Please share the following up-to-date information:

LA County Launches COVID-19 Safety Compliance Certification Program

CSCC Program

Today, LA County launched the COVID-19 Safety Compliance Certificate Program (CSCCP) to further help educate and train business owners on the implementation of LA County's COVID-19 safety protocols.

CSCCP is a no-cost online training course that educates business owners on the essentials of the County Health Officer’s Orders -  including what they need to do to ensure business practices are aligned (and in compliance) with infection control and physical distancing requirements.

After completing the training, businesses will receive a COVID-19 Safety Compliance Certificate that can be posted on storefronts. The window seal informs customers that your business has been trained in COVID-19 protocols, thereby offering businesses, employees, and consumers alike the added reassurance that essential training has been completed to prevent the spread of COVID-19. 

CSCCP training can be accessed online through DPH's COVID-19 website at publichealth.lacounty.gov/eh/covid19cert.htm and will be available in 13 languages.

Read today's announcement for more on the COVID-19 Safety Compliance Certification Program. For the latest information on LA County's response to the COVID-19 pandemic, visit covid19.lacounty.gov or follow us @CountyofLA on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Mobile App 'SafePass' is Now Available to County Residents

SafePass

LA County and local city leaders recently announced a partnership with SafePass, a mobile app that provides contact tracing capabilities for individuals throughout LA County. SafePass will allow LA County users to self-report their symptoms for COVID-19 and receive notifications and alerts directly from the LA County Department of Public Health.

All contact tracing data is: anonymous, private, encrypted, and deleted after 30 days by Citizen. Additionally, SafePass:

  • Tracks any close contacts with other users & alerts them to potential exposures.Any users who have meaningful contact with another user (who later tests positive for COVID-19) will receive a notification to get tested.
  • Offers immediate access to eligible users for a free at-home testing kit for those who have been notified of exposure through the app; and
  • Provides up-to-date information about all active testing sites in LA County (terms & conditions apply, see citizen.com/tracing/tests).

The Citizen SafePass mobile app complements existing local COVID-19 response efforts in LA County by introducing this innovative tool that ramps up the critical contact tracing process. LA County residents are encouraged to download SafePass to expand local efforts to track COVID-19 for L.A. County’s 10 million residents. To learn more about SafePass, visit citizen.com/safepass.
