Dear Neighbor, 

With all the information about COVID-19 coming at us this week from a variety of sources, I encourage everyone to take a moment to gather our thoughts.

The next two weeks will be crucial as we continue to learn from the experts about COVID-19, otherwise known as the coronavirus. Your part as a constituent in the 32nd Senate District is essential as we keep each other informed.

You should restrict activities outside your home, except for getting medical care, attending work if need be and shopping for groceries.

I will try to keep posting updates to help all of the residents, businesses, first responders and healthcare workers in Senate District 32.

Thank you to the officials at Artesia, Bellflower, Cerritos, Buena Park, Commerce, Downey, Norwalk, Pico Rivera, Montebello, Santa Fe Springs, Lakewood, Hawaiian Gardens, Whittier, La Mirada, La Habra Heights, Hacienda Heights and  Los Angeles County, representing the unincorporated areas of Whittier, for doing their part in reducing the spread of COVID-19. They have canceled meetings, events and other social gatherings to help mitigate the health risks to all of us living and working in Senate District 32.

Our school districts, colleges and area chambers of commerce have also taken measures to limit exposure to this virus.

Please use common sense to keep yourself, your families and neighbors safe.

Remember, we will get through this health crisis together.

God bless,

Senator Bob Archuleta
