COVID-19 VACCINATION UPDATES

CHANGES TO COVID-19 VACCINATION CLINICS TO BETTER SERVE RIVERSIDE COUNTY RESIDENTS

New vaccine sites opening, expanding hours of operation and one site closing.

Riverside County health officials have planned a series of changes to better serve residents and provide more opportunities for COVID-19 vaccinations.

The updated clinics, which will take effect this week, will also help provide better access to COVID-19 testing by converting the Perris Fairgrounds into a fulltime testing site.

“The changes that are planned will help provide vaccines in locations where they are needed and give greater access to residents in those communities,” said Kim Saruwatari, director of Public Health. “We wish to thank the Corona-Norco Unified school District for its cooperation with the Corona High School site, which was a great location for the community.”

Here are the changes:

--Three sites will be opened Wednesday and operated by OptumServe in Norco (1377 Hamner Ave.), Temecula (39716 Winchester Road) and Desert Hot Springs (11711 West Drive).

--The vaccine site at the Lake Elsinore Stadium, which previously operated two days a week, will be expanded to hours Thursday through Monday. The site will be operated by Curative.

--The Indio Fairgrounds vaccine site will convert from county- to Curative-run location.

--The Corona High School vaccine site will close Friday (March 5); the staff from the location will be assigned to a new vaccine clinic in Moreno Valley. The location of the Moreno Valley clinic will be announced soon.  Those who received their first dose at Corona High School will be notified when and where to receive their second dose.

--The Perris Fairgrounds site, which provided vaccine two days a week, will be converted to a COVID-19 testing site and be opened seven days a week. This change will take effect Tuesday (March 2).

“We are excited to have more vaccine sites open for our residents to get vaccinated as quickly as possible and closer to their communities,” said Board Chair Karen Spiegel, Second District Supervisor. “These vaccines are working to protect our residents and help our community recover from this disease.”

Health officials remind community members to protect themselves by wearing their face masks, practice social distancing, frequently wash their hands, and avoid large gatherings.

To make an appointment at a county-run clinic, or those operated by Curative or OptumServe in Riverside County, click www.rivcoph.org/covid-19-vaccine. Appointment links to the new clinics will be posted to the website as soon as they are available.

RIVERSIDE COUNTY HEALTH OFFICIALS CONTINUE TO URGE RESIDENTS TO GET TESTED FOR COVID-19

Higher testing rate will help county move into red tier.

Active coronavirus cases have been declining in Riverside County for weeks. Riverside County currently meets one of the state’s metrics to move into the red tier, however, both the red tier’s metrics for adjusted case rate and positivity rate must be met to move forward.

Riverside County public health officials remind residents that getting tested for coronavirus helps slow the spread of the disease, and may also help meet the red tier metric for adjusted case rate.  PCR swab tests for active infections slow the spread of the disease by identifying infected individuals who can then be isolated as well as their close contacts. This process disrupts the virus and slows its spread.

Riverside County’s state-evaluated metrics include a 7.6 percent positivity rate and 16.6 adjusted new cases per day for every 100,000 county residents. The positivity rate meets the red tier range which is between 5 and 8 percent.  The case rate needs to be between 4 and 7 per 100,000 residents to move to the red tier. 

Riverside County’s case rate is also worsened by the upwards adjustment for not reaching the statewide median of PCR swab tests, which is 386.4 per 100,000 population. Riverside County’s test rate, which was well above 800 per 100,000 population late last year, is now at 361.4 per 100,000 residents.

Testing is free at a county or state-run site and available for anyone. There are also mobile teams that support testing in specific communities, businesses or organizations by testing for one or two days. There are several testing sites spread throughout Riverside County.  To find county and state-run locations and make an appointment, go online to gettested.ruhealth.org.

PLEASE REDUCE OUTDOOR WATER USE MARCH 1^ST - 14^TH.  METROPOLITAN WATER DISTRICT WILL BE PERFORMING MAINTENANCE TO INFRASTRUCTURE THAT HELP DELIVER WATER TO CORONA

The Department of Water and Power operates two surface water treatment plants using raw water provided through the Lower Feeder Pipeline by Metropolitan Water District through our wholesale provider, Western Municipal Water District. The City has been notified that the Lower Feeder Pipeline connections will be down for scheduled maintenance from March 1st through March 14th. These types of outages are routine as most water agencies conduct maintenance during the winter months when demand is lower; however, this outage is scheduled for 14 days while most outages last 3 to 7 days.

During this year’s outage Metropolitan Water District is performing major preventive maintenance work including:

• Abandon two service connections 
• Perform repairs on one service connection
• Replace valves on the Upper and Lower Feeders
• Perform maintenance on the Lake Mathews Forebay Outlet Tower slide gates
• Inspect Lake Mathews junction shaft tunnel

This shutdown will impact several agencies including Metropolitan Water District, City of Anaheim, City of Corona, Central Basin Municipal Water District, Inland Empire Utilities Agency, Municipal Water District of Orange County, Three Valleys Municipal Water District and Western Municipal Water District.

Starting March 1st, Metropolitan Water District will isolate and dewater pipelines, remove access flanges, inspect and replace valves, abandon service connections and perform service connection repairs, perform concrete repairs, and finally refill the pipeline and restore services.

The City has a robust and dynamic water treatment and distribution system, but we rely on imported surface water to meet customer demands and maintain sufficient storage for fire protection. While the City can accommodate shorter outages, longer outages like this one can be more challenging. As a result, we would like to request your help to reduce our water demand during this maintenance period.

We are asking the residents and businesses of Corona to reduce outdoor watering from March 1st through March 14th. Consider some of these tips:

• Shut off your irrigation system during the two-week period 
• Consider reducing your watering times by half – if you’re watering for 10 minutes per station, consider dropping it to 5 or less! 
• Try hand-watering, as long as you use a hose with an automatic shut off nozzle.

We recognize and apologize for the inconvenience. Preventive maintenance activities are critical to ensuring reliable and ongoing operations. Thank you for your help!

TRANSPORTATION UPDATES

ROUTE 91 CORRIDOR OPERATION PROJECT – WEEKLY VIEW FROM ABOVE

The Riverside County Transportation Commission, in partnership with Caltrans, the Orange County Transportation Authority, the City of Corona and the Transportation Corridor Agencies, has completed the engineering and environmental studies for the Route 91 Corridor Operations Project. RCTC is leading the project through construction.

The project will add a new lane to westbound 91 for approximately two miles between the Green River Road on-ramp and the southbound Route 241 connector. The new lane, which will be built next to the outer shoulder, will help relieve westbound traffic congestion through this heavily traveled corridor.

FREE RIDES FOR COLLEGE STUDENTS AND YOUTH EXTENDED

A program that gives free bus rides to college students and area youth just got extended for another year. That’s good news for young riders needing a lift around town, to school, work or home. While many schools and businesses remain shuttered due to the pandemic, there are encouraging signs that reopening could be around the corner. And when they do, RTA buses will be there. Funded by a state grant, the promotion gives free rides to any youth 18 and under as well as students at Cal Baptist University, La Sierra University, Moreno Valley College, Mt. San Jacinto College, Norco College, Riverside City College and UC Riverside. RTA began offering free rides back in August and the program was expected to expire in July. Because ridership has been anchored by the pandemic, RTA still has enough resources to push the free rides through summer 2022. More information: https://www.riversidetransit.com/

SOCIAL & HUMAN SERVICES

If you are looking for a way to help your community, please consider signing up to be a blood donor. The need for blood is constant, and right now, levels in our region are critically low. Without the necessary blood available, surgeries are at risk for cancellation. 

Generous donors like you can help to keep supply levels up, and make a real difference in the lives of local patients! 

For more information on about who can donate, or to make an appointment, visit LifeStream at www.lstream.org  or call 800-879-4484. 

RIVERSIDE COUNTY SUPERVISORS DELCARE MARCH SOCIAL WORKER APPRECIATION MONTH, SOCIAL WORKERS ARE ESSENTIAL TO AT-RISK INDIVIDUALS AND RECOVERY FROM PANDEMIC, COUNTY BOARD SAYS

RIVERSIDE COUNTY, Ca.—When Dale Vassalli visits his adult clients at home, the Riverside County social worker knows he’s knocking on more than just their doors.

“I love bringing joy, hope, and safety to people who may not have had enough of it in their lives,” said Vassalli, one of more than a thousand social workers serving at-risk adults and children for Riverside County’s Department of Public Social Services (DPSS). “I love that we, as social workers, shine a light into the darkest places.”

The Riverside County Supervisors on Tuesday recognized March as National Social Worker Appreciation Month. The supervisors praised social workers for sticking to their mission of serving and protecting at-risk children and adults during the first year of the pandemic, while managing their own personal losses and hardships throughout the public health crisis.

“Social workers have made heroic contributions to improve the health of children, the elderly and disabled during these times of uncertainty,” said Board Chair Karen Spiegel, Second District Supervisor. “Social workers were essential before this pandemic. They are essential now and will remain essential as Riverside County continues its recovery.”

Tara Cannon, a social worker in Children’s Services, had just finished treatment for cancer when the pandemic struck last March, shutting down businesses, schools, and community centers. Cannon works with the county’s toughest youth—dual placements; kids between the ages of 13 and 18 who are in foster care and on probation.

One young man on her caseload had experienced at least 16 different placements. Finding a new home was proving to be a challenge. He was failing high school and heading for jail. After a heart-to-heart talk with the young man, Cannon reached out to his former coach. The coach agreed to give the youth a home – and a new start.

Today, Cannon has been invited to many of her client’s milestones, including high school graduation in the spring. The young man will continue to gain skills and receive support from social workers and peers in the Transitional Age Youth Program through DPSS while he attends college in the fall, Cannon said.

“It’s one thing to show up at a youth’s home. It’s another thing to say ‘I am in this fight with you. I am in your corner,’” says Cannon, who earned a master’s degree and entered social services only after she had seen her own son through college. “When a teen knows you care for them and that you are fighting for them, they often come around.”

Sayori Baldwin, director of the Department of Public Social Services, said Riverside County social workers strive each day to achieve the best possible outcomes for children and families. The need for trained, dedicated social work professionals is great across the nation, she said.

“Social workers are on the frontlines every day helping people overcome crises,” Baldwin said. “They are part of our social safety net in schools, hospitals, mental health centers, the criminal justice system, nonprofit organizations and about anywhere else where individuals and communities have needs. Social workers are committed to making a positive difference in lives.”

Vassalli, the social worker who serves adult clients, and Cannon agree that it is professionally and personally gratifying to see those they are helping making strides forward.

“I love knowing that I helped make the world a better place for someone,” Vassalli said.  “I love seeing the confidence in my clients as they begin to reach their potential and live more fulfilling lives.”

COMMUNITY EVENTS

Vegan Depot Corona Certified Farmer’s Market to Launch a Vegan Night Market in Riverside What began as just 15 vendors in Corona lined up outside of a local bar, has blossomed into a bi-monthly event that has plant-based food and sustainability-practicing vendors lined up for the chance to vend. “Farmer’s markets bring together citizens of all backgrounds and experiences, and because my business’s focus is in the vegan and sustainable niche, what better way to learn about my target audience than being able to talk directly with them” said Emily Camp, owner of Camp House Suds. This fusion of local farmers and small-business owners seems to be successful for all. The parkway at City Park is Corona is lined with everything from major vegan business Plant Power Fast Food, to plant-based boba business NovaBoba, to vegan cork “leather” maker Dzolik, and a plethora of nuanced products to go around. Many vendors regularly sell out of items or food an hour before the posted end time and every open booth had people lined up in front of them, each person eager to take away something – be it products, or just knowledge – that would broaden their understanding of veganism just a little more than it was before they stepped onto 6th Street in Corona.

The event’s success has showed that, with a strong vision and help from the community, the daunting task of spreading knowledge and creating change can prove possible. Christina Bohannon, owner of Organic Junkie in Corona, is currently working with the mayor of Corona to make the City Park the permanent home of Vegan Depot. “My mission is to establish a stronger vegan presence in the Inland Empire, starting in Corona,” said organizer Christina Bohannon. Bohannon is excited to announce that just 6 months after starting Vegan Depot Corona, she will be starting a vegan night market in Riverside. The city of Riverside has partnered with Kaiser Permanente to designate the East Side of Riverside as a Heal Zone. The City of Riverside is working on a healthier community and Bohannon is honored to be a part of it! Vegan Depot Riverside will be located at North Park off Mission Ave on the east side of the 91 FWY across the street from the Old Spaghetti Factory. You can follow Vegan Depot on Instagram @vegandepot_ie or @vegandepot_riverside to keep posted.
