Coronavirus (COVID-19) Impact & Response
Message from the SFVJACC Reopening Committee
The SFVJACC Board of Directors temporarily closed our Center on March 5, 2020 after consultation with Dr. Richard Kang who explained the dangers of the surging COVID-19 outbreak. Thank you to Dr. Kang (SFVJACC Member), Bing Lau and Jeremey Tsuneishi for their leadership.
The SFVJACC Reopening Committee is currently working on guidelines and procedures to ensure we can do our part to protect the health of all members. Many safety improvements have already been made on campus, including the installation of touchless systems in the bathrooms, improved ventilation, the purchase of hand sanitizer stations and additional sanitation equipment.
While the county has rescinded many of the Health Officer Orders, the SFVJACC Board is taking a data driven approach to reopening the SFVJACC. The SFVJACC campus buildings remain closed at this time. Activities that are able to operate outdoors are resuming.
We need everyone to do their part to ensure the reopening of a safe center as soon as possible.
"We miss seeing you, playing, and enjoying our long time friendships but if we don’t take this seriously, our center has failed you."
