Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19)
Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, Supervisor Cindy Chavez has been leading the effort to ensure that all Santa Clara County residents, especially those from vulnerable and disproportionately impacted communities, have access to free testing. As president of the Board of Supervisors, she has also been a leader in securing funding from both the public and private sectors to deal with the economic devastation of the pandemic in areas such as food insecurity and the digital divide.
