Connected to the wider world in a way no community wants to be, Carpinteria is contending with the threat posed by the international COVID-19 pandemic. Schools and many businesses are closed for an indeterminate period of time, but public health officials assure that by strict observance of stay-at-home orders and social distancing, and by taking precautions in public, the coming surge of infections will “level-off” and the pandemic will become history. In the meantime, Carpinterians must wash their hands regularly, not touch their faces, and accept that their favorite establishments are operating in uncharted territory, if at all.
