Ventura County Farmworker Vaccination Project helps protect essential workers from COVID-19
OXNARD, Calif. - Farmworkers with Good Farms in Oxnard were among the first to take part in the Ventura County Farmworker Vaccination Project.
113 of the essential workers lined up to get an extra layer of protection against COVID.
“There is a great opportunity for us because we work closely with about 10 other people daily, so for all of us to be vaccinated is a great benefit,” said farmworker Edgar Bautista.
Farmworkers are not yet eligible for vaccines based on the state s distribution phases, but public health leaders say getting at least some of them vaccinated is critical.
What the lifted stay-at-home order means for Ventura County businesses
VENTURA, Calif. Ventura County Public Health leaders said they’re on board with lifting the regional stay-at-home order even with last week’s record number of patients in the intensive care unit.
On Monday, Ventura County restaurant owners were getting outdoor dining areas ready to reopen, but the weather was not cooperating.
“It has been tough,” said Jan Holguin, who owns Casa Bella steak house in Ventura. “It has been ruined like four times. We had to replace all the plastic walls that protect it from the weather and everything on top blew off. It took us like a whole day to get it back to where it was.”
