RE: Open for Business
To our valuable customers and suppliers,
I would like to share with you how Governor Newsom’s executive order will affect our status to remain open and
working. Executive order N-33-20 states that;
”To protect public health, I as State Public Health Officer and Director of the California Department of Public Health order
all individuals living in the State of California to stay home or at their place of residence except as needed to maintain
continuity of operations of the federal critical infrastructure sectors, as outlined at https://www.cisa.gov/identifying-
critical-infrastructure-during-covid-19. In addition, and in consultation with the Director of the Governor's Office of
Emergency Services, I may designate additional sectors as critical in order to protect the health and well-being of all
Californians.”
“The federal government has identified 16 critical infrastructure sectors whose assets, systems, and networks, whether
physical or virtual, are considered so vital to the United States that their incapacitation or destruction would have a
debilitating effect on security, economic security, public health or safety, or any combination thereof. I order that
Californians working in these 16 critical infrastructure sectors may continue their work because of the importance of
these sectors to Californians' health and well-being.”
We fall under at least 3 critical infrastructure sectors as defined by the U.S homeland security as critical during the
COVID-19 outbreak as defined at https://www.cisa.gov/topics/risk-management/coronavirus/identifying-critical-infrastructure-during-covid-19. Three of such
sectors that we supply are; Critical Manufacturing Sector, Energy Sector, and Healthcare and Public Health Sector. These
sectors are vitally important to the function of our government and needed infrastructure systems. It is important to
understand that Executive Order N-33-20 also orders that businesses in these sectors continue their work.
We will remain open during this time to support critical sectors. We will continue to practice all recommendations from
the CDC and state and local agencies to protect our employees and their families.
If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Stay safe,
Ben Belzer
