코비드 백신 사기를 주의하십시오

[LA카운티 공지 한글 번역] 백신 관련 사기(스캠)을 주의하세요!

​여러분의 차례가 오기 전에 누군가 당신에게 COVID-19 백신을 팔려고 하거나 백신을 먼저 맞을 수 있게 해주겠다고 한다면 그것은 사기(SCAM)입니다.

사실관계는 이렇습니다(FACTS):

  •  This program is a disaster relief payment, not an alternative form of unemployment insurance. Eligible individual applicants can receive up to $500, or up to $1000 for themselves and one other adult in the household.
  • ​Applicants can apply only by phone through designated non-profit organization serving your area. Applicants will be considered on a first come, first served basis.

 So since the beginning, DPH has shared that if you show symptoms/test positive for coronavirus, you should self-isolate for 7 days, plus 3 days without any symptoms (whichever is longer). That guidance has changed. It is now 10 days of self-isolation, because it has been found that the virus could still be spreading with the old 7 days recommendation. The same thing applies in that you need to be 3 days symptom free, so it could be longer than 10 days. The change can be found here under #4. Also pay attention to the new symptoms listed under #3. http://publichealth.lacounty.gov/media/Coronavirus/docs/about/FAQ.pdf
  • As an example (because I know this day guidance can be confusing), let's say you have both a fever and shaking with chills. You may not be able to get a test, so you should assume you have coronavirus and should self isolate. You need to isolate for 10 days. But let's say you still have a fever on day 8, and it doesn't go away without medication until day 9. You need to continue to isolate until day 12. ​

TUES. 04/14: ANGELENO CARD *APPLY ASAP*

  • The Mayor announced the launch of the "Angeleno Card" by the Mayor's Fund for Los Angeles. It is not a city program but funded by private donations. The Angeleno Card provides financial assistance for in-need households via no-fee prepaid cards provided by Mastercard’s City Possible network in amounts determined according to the following table:
  • Households must meet all three of the following criteria to be eligible for assistance through the Angeleno Card initiative:
    1. Households in the City of Los Angeles;
    2. Households with total annual incomes that fell below the federal poverty level prior to the COVID-19 crisis; and
    3. Households that have fallen into deeper economic hardship during the crisis because at least one household member has lost a job or experienced a reduction in income of at least 50%.
  • We will not ask for immigration status, nor is it considered in determining eligibility. This initiative is funded by private donations and is not a City program. Any assistance through this fund is not considered a public benefit and is not subject to the Public Charge rule.
    • https://hcidla.lacity.org
    • Applications may only be completed on April 14 - 16, this Tuesday through Thursday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. People without internet access or who need help applying online may call 213-252-3040, this Tuesday through Thursday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Effective March 19,2020: “Safer at home” Order

extended to Friday, May 15, 2020. 
​Be safe everyone.

Read the Formal order for “safer at home” from LA Mayor Eric Garcetti:

Also from California Governor Gavin Newsom:
https://covid19.ca.gov/img/N-33-20.pdf

Los Angeles issued a new city ordinance for Angelenos to wear non-medical face coverings in public. 

What is a face covering? Is it a mask?
A face covering is not the same thing as a mask.
At this time, you should not be purchasing medical grade masks, which are in short supply. It is extremely important that N95 masks are reserved for those who need them most and have the highest risk of infection, including medical professionals and healthcare workers. It is recommended that Angelenos instead wear cloth face coverings, such as one made with a bandana or scarf, or make your own using fabric. You can follow instructions available online from trusted sources. Any face coverings should be washed after each use.

​These measures will help flatten the curve and save lives.
