a emergencia de salud pública por el Covid-19 no sólo desnudó las insuficiencias de un sistema sanitario estadounidense que era visto como el número uno del mundo, sino también confirmó que en un mundo globalizado las pandemias no reconocen fronteras, ni diferencias raciales, étnicas, generacionales o estratos económicos Nadie estamos a salvo.

Desde el más humilde trabajador informal hasta la casa real británica, desde un indefenso infante hasta una ancianita de 102 años, nadie está exento del contagio.

La ocurrencia de que el coronavirus era un patógeno elitista ha quedado desmentida por las circunstancias, conforme avanza invisible, paso a paso, por todos los rincones el mundo.

Es entendible por ello el reclamo de organizaciones de defensa de hispanos por la decisión de excluir de la llamada Cares Act, el inédito paquete de rescate económico de 2 trillones (millones de millones) de dólares, a la abrumadora mayoría de inmigrantes indocumentados, a pesar de que unos 8 millones de trabajadores sin autorización contribuyen anualmente con miles de millones de dólares de pago de impuestos.

No sólo no tendrán acceso a los cheques de desempleo, sino que no hay garantía de cobertura de salud para quienes carecen de seguro médico.

Sólo los “dreamers”, los beneficiarios de DACA, y los del TPS, tienen la opción de aplicar para el seguro de cesantía y recibir los $600 dólares semanales adicionales. En la misma semana que se aprobó la Cares Act, un record de 3.2 millones de trabajadores solicitaron apoyo por desempleo.

No está de sobra afirmar que la emergencia de salud pública golpeará desproporcionalmente a las familias latinas en general.

Tiene lógica por ello que muchos lideres comunitarios o activistas de grupos independientes prefirieran la más generosa versión de rescate patrocinada por la presidenta de la Cámara de Representantes Nancy Pelosi, quien decidió apoyar la versión del Senado en aras de la rápida expedición de los pagos a 150 millones de hogares.

Los demócratas dejaron en claro que están planeando ya una cuarta iniciativa de rescate con un componente de inversiones en infraestructura. Se trata de una propuesta en sincronía con una de las prioridades del presidente Trump, lo cual puede ser un gran remedio para un gran mal.

Si los lideres políticos nos muestran nuevamente que ningún afán partidista está por encima del interés general, las nuevas iniciativas de rescate deben ser justas y equitativas, y no excluir a nadie, porque el bienestar es cosa de todos y en materia de salud pública las cadenas se rompen por el eslabón más débil.

he public health emergency by Covid-19 not only exposed the insufficiencies of an American health system that was seen as the number one in the world, but also confirmed that in a globalized world, pandemics do not recognize borders, nor racial, ethnic differences, generational or economic strata No one is safe.

From the humblest informal worker to the British royal household, from a defenseless infant to a 102-year-old woman, no one is exempt from contagion. The occurrence that the coronavirus was an elitist pathogen has been denied by circumstances, as it advances invisible, step by step, in all corners of the world.

Understandable for this reason, the claim of Hispanic defense organizations for the decision to exclude from the so-called Cares Act, the unprecedented visita 2 trillion (million million) dollar

Not only will they not have access to unemployment checks, but there is no guarantee of health coverage for those without health insurance.

Only Dreamers, DACA recipients, and TPS recipients have the option to apply for unemployment insurance and receive the additional $ 600 per week.

In the same week that the Cares Act was approved, a record 3.2 million workers applied for unemployment support.

It goes without saying that the public health emergency will disproportionately hit Latino families overall.

It is logical, therefore, that many community leaders or activists from independent groups preferred the more generous version of the rescue sponsored by the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, who decided to support the Senate version in order to expedite the payment of payments to 150 millions of homes.

Democrats have made clear they are already planning a fourth bailout initiative with an infrastructure investment component. It is a proposal in sync with one of President Trump's priorities, which can be a great remedy for great evil.

If the political leaders show us again that no partisan eagerness is above the general interest, the new rescue initiatives must be fair and equitable, and not exclude anyone, because well-being is everyone's business and in public health, the chains they break at the weakest link.

GROUPS PRESS VA TO INCLUDE FARMWORKERS IN MINIMUM-WAGE LAW

GRUPOS PRESIONAN AL VA PARA INCLUIR A TRABAJADORES AGRÍCOLAS EN LA LEY DE SALARIO MÍNIMO

ENGLISH

Diane Bernard Public News Service

R

ICHMOND, Va. -- Farmworkers have been classified as "essential" during the COVID-19 pandemic, and groups in Virginia are now urging the governor to guarantee these vital workers receive a minimum wage.

Kim Bobo, executive director with the Virginia Interfaith Center for Public Policy, said agricultural workers are risking their lives to bring food to America's tables, yet they're exempt from Virginia's new Minimum Wage Act. She said groups are asking Gov. Ralph Northam to amend the act to allow farmworkers to qualify for a living wage.

"We don't want them to stay home, we want our food supply to continue. And in other fields people are getting hazard pay for doing this work,"

ESPAÑOL

Bobo said. "Well, we believe at the minimum, farmworkers deserve to have the minimum wage as part of their pay."

Agriculture is Virginia's largest private industry, and more than 10,000 immigrant farmworkers come to the state each year to harvest crops, according to the Legal Aid Justice Center. The governor has until midnight April 11 to make an amendment.

The Minimum Wage Act will raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour by 2025. Bobo pointed out that last year's Legislature eliminated many minimumwage exemptions that had been in place for jobs traditionally held by African-American workers, including shoe shiners, ushers and doormen. But lawmakers still didn't exempt agricultural workers.

"Farmworkers historically were African-Americans.

They're now immigrants. And we've

excluded them from being considered equal to other workers," she said. "And that is clearly part of our racist history, is the exclusion of farmworkers from the minimum wage."

In the United States, more than 30% of farmworker families live below the poverty line, according to the Department of Labor.

More than 50% have no health insurance and limited access to health care, making them particularly vulnerable to the coronavirus.

ICHMOND, Va. - Los trabajadores agrícolas han sido clasificados como "esenciales" durante la pandemia de COVID-19, y los grupos en Virginia ahora instan al gobernador a garantizar que estos trabajadores vitales reciban un salario mínimo.

Kim Bobo, director ejecutivo del Centro Interreligioso de Política Pública de Virginia, dijo que los

Ella dijo que los grupos están pidiendo al gobernador Ralph Northam que modifique la ley para permitir que los trabajadores agrícolas califiquen para un salario digno.

"No queremos que se queden en casa, queremos que nuestro suministro de alimentos continúe.

Y en otros campos, las personas reciben un pago de riesgo por hacer este trabajo," dijo Bobo.

"Bueno, creemos que, como mínimo, los trabajadores agrícolas merecen tener el salario mínimo como parte de su paga."

La agricultura es la industria privada más grande de Virginia, y más de 10,000 trabajadores agrícolas inmigrantes vienen al estado cada año para cosechar, según el Centro de Justicia Legal. El gobernador tiene hasta la medianoche del 11 de abril para hacer una enmienda.

La Ley de Salario Mínimo aumentará el salario mínimo a $ 15 por hora para 2025. Bobo señaló que la Legislatura del año pasado eliminó muchas exenciones de salario mínimo que se habían establecido para trabajos tradicionalmente ocupados por trabajadores afroamericanos, incluidos lustrabotas, ujieres y porteros, pero los legisladores aún no eximieron a los trabajadores agrícolas.

"Los trabajadores agrícolas históricamente eran afroamericanos. Ahora son inmigrantes. Y los hemos excluido de ser considerados iguales a otros trabajadores," dijo. "Y eso es claramente parte de nuestra historia racista, es la exclusión de los trabajadores agrícolas del salario mínimo."

En los Estados Unidos, más del 30% de las familias de trabajadores agrícolas viven por debajo del umbral de pobreza, según el Departamento de Trabajo. Más del 50% no tienen seguro médico y acceso limitado a la atención médica, lo que los hace particularmente vulnerables al coronavirus.

OS ÁNGELES - La crisis de COVID-19 realmente está perjudicando a las organizaciones sin fines de lucro, en particular aquellas que sirven a poblaciones vulnerables.

La comunidad LGBTQ, por ejemplo, sufre altas tasas de VIH y cáncer, lo que la hace más susceptible al virus.

Alphonso David, presidente de Human Rights Campaign, dice que su grupo está encontrando formas de poner en línea sus programas y servicios.

"Las organizaciones sin fines de lucro existen porque en la mayoría de los casos brindan servicios y recursos críticos a las comunidades marginadas", señala.

"Y esos servicios y recursos son más importantes ahora que nunca".

Muchos grupos, incluida la Campaña de Derechos Humanos e Igualdad de California, han tenido que posponer las recaudaciones de fondos que representan una gran parte de sus presupuestos.

Entonces están ansiosos por saber más sobre la nueva Ley de Ayuda, Alivio y Seguridad Económica de Coronavirus, que acaba de aprobar el Congreso. La ley otorga préstamos y subvenciones para ayudar a mantener a flote a los grupos sin fines de lucro.

"No creo que, en este momento, mucha gente esté en modo de donación", afirma. "Creo que mucha gente está reteniendo sus recursos porque no saben qué esperar".

Algunos grupos sin fines de lucro están viendo un gran aumento en la demanda, incluso cuando tienen que cambiar la forma en que hacen negocios para acomodar el distanciamiento social, especialmente los grupos que brindan alimentos, refugio o atención médica a familias de bajos ingresos.

La Ley CARES incluye nuevos incentivos fiscales para alentar las contribuciones caritativas.

OS ANGELES -- The COVID-19 crisis is really hurting nonprofit organizations -- in particular those that serve vulnerable populations.

The LGBTQ community, for example, suffers high rates of HIV and cancer, which makes it more susceptible to the virus.

Alphonso David, president of Human Rights Campaign, says his group is finding ways to put its programs and services online.

"Not-for-profit organizations exist be-

cause in most cases they are providing critical services and resources to marginalized communities," he points out.

"And those services and resources are more important now than ever. " Many groups, including Human Rights Campaign and Equality California, have had to postpone fundraisers that make up a big part of their budgets.

So they're eager to hear more about the new Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act, just passed by Congress. The act provides loans and grants to help keep nonprofit groups afloat.

Many nonprofit groups are sending out pleas for donations on their websites and on social media.

Eddie Martinez. executive director of the Latino Equality Alliance, says he fears that many donors are in wait-andsee mode.

"I don't think, right now, a lot of people are in a giving mode," he states. "I think a lot of people are holding onto their resources because they don't know what to expect."

Muchos grupos sin fines de lucro están enviando pedidos de donaciones en sus sitios web y en las redes sociales.

Some nonprofit groups are seeing a huge surge in demand -- even as they have to change the way they do business to accommodate social distancing -- especially groups that provide food, shelter or medical care to low income families.

ealth and public policy experts talk about how to protect ourselves during this period of the pandemic

“La recomendación antes de acudir en persona, es que se comuniquen al 844-744-6452 para recibir información sobre cómo deben proceder”, enfatizó.

Undocumented immigrants affected by the coronavirus are not at risk of being arrested by immigration agents when they request medical services, while access to health will not be considered a public charge when applying for a permanent residency or certain non-immigrant visas.

Si bien los inmigrantes indocumentados no califican para beneficios como las estampillas de comida CalFresh, o programas de ayuda en efectivo como Calworks y otros apoyos, si tienen niños o hay otras personas en sus familias con sus papeles migratorios en regla, sí pueden calificar.

"The Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has said it will not take immigration enforcement actions in clinics and hospitals against undocumented immigrants," Jackie Vimo, public policy analyst for the National Immigration Law Center (NILC), said during a teleconference on the coronavirus organized by Ethnic Media Services, in which public health officials, health professionals and legal experts participated.

She also stressed that the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has already declared that the public charge rule will not apply to those seeking medical treatment and services related to COVID-19. The public charge allows denial of residence to those who have received certain public benefits.

Vimo established that beneficiaries of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) and Temporary Protected Status (TPS) that are in effect in these programs and have a social security number qualify to receive $1,200 per person included in the COVID-19 stimulus package approved by Congress. In addition, they can apply for unemployment aid.

But she recommended that, when it comes to a couple who files taxes jointly, if one of them has an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN), whomever is the legal resident or citizen should request the $1,200 aid individually.

Undocumented immigrants, even with an ITIN, are not eligible for the $1,200 aid in relief package approved by Congress.

The immigration status does not matter Rigoberto Reyes, director of the Los Angeles County Immigrant Office, said that immigration status and ability to pay are not an obstacle to receiving preventive health care and tests related to the coronavirus.

Recordó que el condado de Los Ángeles, acaba de abrir un centro de ayuda para los trabajadores desempleados y dueños de negocios. Para obtener información, pueden llamar al: 1-800-593-8222.

Jackie Vimo is a policy analyst who leads NILC’s (National Immigration Law Center) economic justice program. Photo Credit: Araceli Martínez Ortega How to Protect Yourself Dr. Félix Aguilar, medical director of the Chinatown Service Center reminded people that the coronavirus only survives for a few hours, and not for days or weeks.

"It is not AIDS, it is not the plague or Ébola but something that can be killed with soap and water", he stressed.

Who Is at Risk?

"Those with low defenses, the elderly, and smokers. Although deaths have occurred at any age," he said.

Dr. Aguilar recommended that you wash your hands often, for 20 seconds, and remember to do the same when you get home.

His advice to Latino families where many people live, and cannot exercise social distance, is to frequently clean the house, wash their hands, and keep surfaces clean.

And if someone falls ill with coronavirus, he recommended keeping their distance, not sharing what they use, and using bandanas as face masks.

Symptoms of those with the coronavirus are: fever over 100.4 °F and shortness of breath.

Exercising helps improve mental and physical health during the coronavirus.

Mental Health

My Health LA, the free health care program for low-income residents of Los Angeles County, does not restrict immigrants from receiving access, he said.

Dr. Lisseth Rojas Flores, an professor of Clinical Psychology at Fuller Seminary in Pasadena, California, advised developing an action plan to care for mental health in times of the coronavirus.

"We recommend that they contact 844-744-6452, before going in person, to receive information on how they should proceed," he emphasized.

Her recommendations include:

While undocumented immigrants don't qualify for benefits like CalFresh food stamps, or cash aid programs like Calworks and other programs, they may qualify if they have children or other people in their families with their immigration papers in order.

He reminded people that Los Angeles County has just opened a help center for unemployed workers and business owners. For information, call: 1-800593-8222.

You can report complaints of price manipulation, request free help for food, and report home evictions using that same number.

Reyes said that there is a ban on evictions from March 4th until May 4th.

• Organize routines with a schedule of activities for the family, and especially for children, with times for school work, meals, chores, rest, and distraction.

• Waking up and going to sleep at regular times.

• Observe the children's reactions to see if they are not isolating themselves, or are throwing tantrums, or crying. Listen to them, talk to them, and connect with them.

• Recognize your own fears and emotions, and develop a self-care plan with strategies to deal with those fears. Remember that chronic stress can have a long-term impact on health.

• Seek spiritual support, feed your soul, exercise, and only pay attention to good and credible information.

xpertos en salud y políticas públicas hablan de cómo protegernos durante este periodo de la pandemia

Los inmigrantes indocumentados afectados por el coronavirus no corren riesgo de ser arrestados por agentes de migración cuando soliciten servicios médicos, mientras que el acceso a la salud no será considerado una carga pública a la hora de pedir la residencia legal o ciertas visas de no inmigrante.

“El Servicio de Migración y Aduanas (ICE) ha dicho que no va a realizar arrestos en clínicas y hospitales contra los inmigrantes indocumentados”, dijo Jackie Vimo, analista de políticas públicas del National Immigration Law Center (NILC), durante una teleconferencia sobre el coronavirus organizada por Ethnic Media Services, en la que participaron funcionarios de salud pública, profesionales de la salud y expertos legales.

Remarcó que también el Servicio de Ciudadanía y Migración (USCIS) ya ha declarado que la regla de la carga pública no se aplicará a quienes busquen tratamientos y servicios médicos relacionados con el COVID-19. La carga pública permite negar la residencia a quienes hayan recibido ciertos beneficios públicos.

En ese mismo número de teléfono, pueden reportar denuncias de manipulación de precios, solicitar ayuda gratis para comida y reportar desalojos de vivienda.

Reyes dijo que a partir del 4 de marzo y hasta el 4 de mayo existe una prohibición contra los desalojos.

Cómo protegerse El doctor Félix Aguilar, director médico del Chinatown Service Center recordó que el coronavirus solo sobrevive por unas horas, y no por días o semanas.

“No es sida, no es la peste ni el Ébola sino que es algo que con agua y jabón se puede matar”, recalcó. ¿Quiénes están en riesgo?

“Quienes tienen las defensas bajas, los de edad avanzada y los fumadores. Aunque las muertes se han dado a cualquier edad”, señaló.

El doctor Aguilar recomendó lavarse a menudo las manos durante 20 segundos, y no olvidar hacer lo mismo al regresar a casa.

El consejo que dio a las familias latinas en cuyos hogares viven muchos familiares y no pueden ejercer distancia social, es que con frecuencia limpien las casas, se laven las manos y mantengan limpias las superficies.

Y si alguien cae enfermo de coronavirus, recomendó mantener distancia, no compartir lo que usan y emplear bandanas como cubrebocas.

Vimo estableció que los beneficiarios de la Acción Diferida para los Llegados en la Infancia (DACA) y el Estatus de Protección Temporal (TPS) que estén vigentes en estos programas y cuenten con un número de seguro social, califican para recibir los 1,200 dólares por persona incluidos en el paquete de estímulos del COVID-19 aprobado por el Congreso. Además, pueden solicitar la ayuda para el desempleo.

Los síntomas de quienes tienen el coronavirus son: fiebre de más de 100.4 °F y falta de respiración.

Pero recomendó que cuando se trate de una pareja que declaran impuestos de manera conjunta, si uno de ellos tiene un número de identificación personal (ITIN), quien sea el residente legal o ciudadano debe solicitar el apoyo de los 1,200 dólares en forma individual.

Entre sus recomendaciones, destacan:

Los inmigrantes indocumentados aún con un ITIN no tienen derecho a recibir la ayuda de los 1,200 dólares bajo el paquete de alivio aprobado por el Congreso.

• Levantarse y acostarse en horarios regulares.

No importa estatus migratorio Rigoberto Reyes, director de la Oficina de Inmigrantes del condado de Los Ángeles, puntualizó que el estatus migratorio y la capacidad de pago no son obstáculo para recibir salud preventiva y pruebas relacionadas con el coronavirus.

Mi Salud LA (My Health LA), el programa de atención médica sin costo para los residentes de

Salud mental La doctora Lisseth Rojas Flores, profesora de Psicología Clínica del Seminario Fuller de Pasadena, California aconsejó desarrollar un plan de acción para cuidar la salud mental en tiempos del coronavirus.

• Organizar rutinas con un horario de actividades para la familia, y especialmente para los niños con tiempos para el trabajo escolar, la alimentación, los quehaceres, el descanso y la distracción.

• Observar las reacciones de los hijos para ver si no se están aislando, o si hacen rabietas o lloran; y escucharlos, hablarles y conectarse con ellos.

• Reconocer sus propios miedos y emociones, y desarrollar un plan de autocuidado con estrategias para afrontarlos. Recuerde que el estrés crónico puede tener un impacto a largo plazo en la salud.

• Buscar apoyo espiritual, alimentar su alma, hacer ejercicios físicos y convertirse en un consumidor de información buena y creíble.

OS ANGELES -- Groups that promote public health and clean air and that advocate for consumers all are vowing to fight the Trump administration's new rollback of vehicle-emission standards. The new rule was finalized on Tuesday.

Dave Cooke, senior vehicles analyst with the Union of Concerned Scientists, slammed the administration for pushing the change during the COVID-19 crisis.

"This rollback defies science and common sense," he said. "It hurts the economy and the climate, and it's appalling that they'd still try to push it through in the middle of a crisis."

Administration officials have said the plan will allow automakers to produce cheaper cars, which should encourage Americans to trade in their older vehicles. However, opponents of the change have pointed out that lower fuel economy means people will pay more at the pump. The nationwide standards require an improvement of 1.5% per year in fuel economy, less than the standard set by the Golden State.

feds are favoring big oil over public health.

"A public health crisis demands united action to keep people safe, not short-sighted steps to undermine people's lives," she said. "This administration should not use the COVID-19 emergency as a convenient excuse to pursue dangerous policies that place corporate polluters ahead of the health and welfare of everyday Americans."

The rule change is online at nhtsa.gov.

OS ÁNGELES - Los grupos que promueven la salud pública y el aire limpio y que abogan por los consumidores se comprometen a luchar contra el nuevo retroceso de las normas de emisión de vehículos de la administración Trump. La nueva regla finalizó el martes.

Dave Cooke, analista senior de vehículos de la Unión de Científicos Preocupados, criticó a la administración por impulsar el cambio du-

rante la crisis de COVID-19.

"Este retroceso desafía la ciencia y el sentido común", dijo. "Daña la economía y el clima, y es espantoso que todavía intenten impulsarlo en medio de una crisis".

Los funcionarios de la administración han dicho que el plan permitirá a los fabricantes de automóviles producir automóviles más baratos, lo que debería alentar a los estadounidenses a cambiar sus vehículos más antiguos. Sin embargo, los opositores al cambio han señalado que una menor economía de combustible significa que las personas pagarán más en la bomba. Los estándares a nivel nacional requieren una mejora del 1.5% por año en la economía de combustible, menos que el estándar establecido por Golden State.

David Friedman, vicepresidente de defensa de Consumer Reports, señaló que California y otros 23 estados están demandando para recuperar el derecho a establecer estándares más altos.

"Muchos grupos ya están avanzando para desafiar esto en los tribunales", dijo, "y porque es una regla tan débil que no se basa en hechos, no en datos, no en ciencia, estamos esperando que eso debería tener un resultado muy positivo para los consumidores ".

David Friedman, vice president for advocacy at Consumer Reports, noted that California and 23 other states are suing to regain the right to set higher standards.

Dominique Browning, director de Moms Clean Air Force, dijo que la administración debe respetar las políticas de California, que fueron diseñadas para combatir la contaminación del aire y el cambio climático.

"Many groups are already moving forward to challenge this in the courts," he said, "and because it is such a weak rule that is not based on facts, not based on the data, not based on the science, we're expecting that that should have a very positive outcome for consumers."

"El vicepresidente (Mike) Pence, durante esta pandemia, ha estado hablando sobre los derechos estatales", dijo, "y me parece hipócrita que lo haga con respecto a los ventiladores y no respete los derechos estatales cuando se trata de automóviles más limpios".

Dominique Browning, director of Moms Clean Air Force, said the administration should respect California's policies, which were designed to combat air pollution and climate change.

"Vice President (Mike) Pence, during this pandemic, has been talking about state rights," she said, "and I find it hypocritical that he would do so about ventilators and disrespect state rights when it comes to cleaner cars."

Lauren Faber O'Connor, chief sustainability officer for the City of Los Angeles, thinks the

Lauren Faber O'Connor, directora de sustentabilidad de la Ciudad de Los Ángeles, cree que los federales están favoreciendo el petróleo grande en lugar de la salud pública.

"Una crisis de salud pública exige una acción unida para mantener a las personas seguras, no pasos cortos para socavar la vida de las personas", dijo. "Esta administración no debería usar la emergencia COVID-19 como una excusa conveniente para aplicar políticas peligrosas que coloquen a los contaminadores corporativos por delante de la salud y el bienestar de los estadounidenses comunes".

LOS MEJORES CONSEJOS PARA LIMPIAR TOP TIPS TO DEEP CLEAN THIS SPRING CON PROFUNDIDAD ESTA PRIMAVERA

Photo Credit: BPT

ESPAÑOL

E

BPT

ste año, la limpieza de primavera se trata más que nunca de la limpieza profunda.

La primavera generalmente inspira un poco más de tiempo dedicado a la limpieza, de hecho, una encuesta reciente encargada por Bona y realizada por Harris Poll descubrió que más de la mitad de los adultos estadounidenses dicen que el comienzo de la primavera desencadena una limpieza adicional en el hogar. Si bien en el pasado podría haber sido más simplemente desempolvar esquinas difíciles de alcanzar y limpiar el refrigerador, este año también se trata de una limpieza profunda y desinfección para la salud y la seguridad.

Aquí hay algunos consejos para limpiar en profundidad esta primavera para cualquiera que aborde la tarea.

Concéntrese primero en áreas de alto uso Puede que no sea realista limpiar a fondo toda su casa en un fin de semana, así que primero considere apuntar a áreas ocupadas de su hogar. Las habitaciones, los baños, la sala familiar, la cocina y las áreas de entrada probablemente reciban el mayor tráfico peatonal, así que comience allí y deje las áreas menos utilizadas de la casa para más tarde. Reúna algunos ayudantes y establezca un marco de tiempo para establecer un objetivo claro y el tiempo final. Considere una segunda ronda de limpieza si no puede completar la tarea.

Despejar el desorden Cree un sistema que funcione para que usted elimine el desorden y haga espacio para una limpieza profunda. Instale cajas o bolsas claramente etiquetadas como "Basura", "Reciclar", "Donar" y "Pertenece a otra parte". Revisa cada habitación objetivo, colocando cualquier cosa que no debería estar allí en uno de los contenedores etiquetados.

Asegúrese de llevar estas cajas o bolsas a donde pertenecen para evitar el desorden adicional de la casa (¡todos hemos sido culpables de mover una pila de una habitación a otra!). Te sentirás más liviano y feliz con solo ver esas cajas y bolsos salir por la puerta.

Considere asignarle a un miembro de la familia basura o donaciones.

Priorizar grandes superficies

Una vez que haya despejado el exceso de desorden, limpie la habitación de arriba a abajo. Limpie primero el polvo acumulado en la parte superior de las estanterías o los ventiladores de techo, luego limpie las paredes de arriba hacia abajo para eliminar el polvo y la mugre, con un trapeador o paño de microfibra. Dé prioridad a grandes superficies como encimeras y mesas, así como a posibles puntos críticos de gérmenes como el fregadero de la cocina. Termine con los pisos aspirando la alfombra o usando un limpiador diseñado para su piso de madera dura o de superficie dura.

Desinfectar En cada oportunidad, busque áreas que puedan desinfectarse. Concéntrese en elementos de alto uso y áreas como controles remotos, perillas de las puertas, tiradores de cajones y teclados. Considere usar productos que usan peróxido de hidrógeno, una forma comprobada y más saludable de matar gérmenes. Muchos limpiadores antibacterianos tradicionales usan compuestos de amonio cuaternario o "quats". Esta clase específica de productos químicos está relacionada con la irritación de la piel y los problemas respiratorios, y el uso de quats está contribuyendo al problema global de la resistencia a los antimicrobianos. Últimos retoques Una vez que haya limpiado y renovado sus habitaciones a fondo, haga una lluvia de ideas sobre otras formas de mejorar su espacio vital: • Done muebles sobrantes y poco usados para crear más espacio • Identifique las tareas que se dejan mejor a los profesionales, como la limpieza de ventanas exteriores o el acabado de pisos de madera • Exhiba obras de arte de colores brillantes para renovar sus paredes • Coloque un jarrón o dos de coloridos arreglos florales.

Deje que su limpieza profunda esta primavera traiga un poco de renovación y brillo a su hogar. Un hogar limpio también es un hogar saludable para familiares, mascotas y amigos.

Prioritize large surface areas

his year spring cleaning is more than ever about the deep clean. Spring typically inspires a little more time dedicated to cleaning, in fact, a recent survey commissioned by Bona and conducted

by Harris Poll found that more than half of U.S. adults say that the start of spring triggers extra cleaning in the household. While in the past it might have been more about simply dusting hard-to-reach corners and cleaning out the fridge, this year it's also about deep cleaning and disinfecting for health and safety.

Once you've cleared the excess clutter, wipe down the room from top to bottom.

Clean the dust accumulated on top of bookshelves or ceiling fans first, then wipe down walls from top to bottom to remove dust and grime, using a microfiber mop or cloth. Prioritize large surfaces like countertops and tables as well as potential germ hotspots like the kitchen sink. Finish up with the floors by vacuuming carpet or by using a cleaner tailored for your hardwood or hard-surface floors.

Here are a few tips to deep clean this spring for anyone tackling the task.

At every opportunity look for areas that can be disinfected. Focus on high-use items and areas like remote controls, doorknobs, drawer pulls, and keypads. Consider using products that use hydrogen peroxide, a proven, healthier way to kill germs. Many traditional antibacterial cleaners use quaternary ammonium compounds or "quats."

This specific class of chemicals is linked to skin irritation and respiratory problems and use of quats is contributing to the global problem of antimicrobial resistance.

Focus on high-use areas first It may not be realistic to deep clean your whole home in one weekend so consider targeting busy areas of your home first.

Bedrooms, bathrooms, family room, kitchen and entry areas likely get the most foot traffic, so start there and leave lesser used areas of the home for later. Gather some helpers and set a timeframe to establish a clear goal and end time. Consider a second round of cleaning if you're unable to complete the task.

Clear out the clutter Create a system that works for you to clear out the clutter and make space to deep clean. Set up boxes or bags clearly labeled "Trash," "Recycle," "Donate," and "Belongs elsewhere." Go through each target room, putting anything that shouldn't be there in one of the labeled containers.

Be sure to get these boxes or bags where they belong to avoid additional house clutter (we've all been guilty of moving a pile from one room to another!). You'll feel lighter and happier just seeing those boxes and bags head out the door. Consider tasking a family member with trash or donation dropoff.

Disinfect

Finishing touches Once you've thoroughly cleaned and refreshed your rooms, brainstorm other ways to improve your living space: • Donate excess, little-used furniture to create more space • Identify tasks best left to professionals, like exterior window cleaning or hardwood floor refinishing • Display brightly colored artwork to renew your walls • Set out a vase or two of colorful flower arrangements Let your deep cleaning this spring bring a little renewal and brightness to your home.

A clean home is also a healthy home for family, pets and friends.

3. Essential businesses must maximize the number of employees who work from home, excepting only those employees who cannot perform their job duties from home.

4. Essential businesses that continue to operate facilities in the County must scale down operations to their essential component only.

5. Businesses that supply products needed for people to work from home are no longer essential businesses under the Order and must cease operations (except minimum basic operations) at facilities in the County.

6. Use of playgrounds, dog parks, public picnic areas, and similar recreational areas is prohibited. These areas must be closed to public use.

7. Use of shared public recreational facilities such as golf courses, tennis and basketball courts, pools, and rock walls are prohibited. These facilities must be closed for recreational use.

8. Sports or activities that require use of shared equipment, like frisbees, basketballs, baseballs, and soccer balls, may only be engaged in by members of the same household.

9.

Most construction—residential and commercial—is prohibited. Exceptions are made for healthcare facility construction directly related to the COVID-19 response; affordable housing; public works projects when designated as essential by the lead governmental agency; shel-

CENSO 2020: LA IMPORTANCIA DE SER CONTADO DURANTE EL CORONAVIRUS

C

Arturo Hilario El Observador

No toma mucho tiempo, más o menos unos 10 minutos. Obviamente eso depende del hogar de uno, porque hay que contar a todos en ese hogar. Entonces, no importa si son familia o no. Es decir, si hay una casa con dos familias distintas.

omo esta semana fue el Día del Censo, que se celebra una vez cada década, queríamos brindar a nuestros lectores la información más reciente y confiable sobre el Censo 2020.

La persona que está completando el Censo para ese hogar, para esa dirección, tiene que contar a todos que viven bajo ese techo, sin importar que son familia o no. Puede ser un inquilino en un cuartito atrás, puede ser el primo que se está quedando ahí por ahora.

Ahí es donde entra en juego la Jefa de la Oficina de Coordinación de Comunicaciones Decenal de la Oficina del Censo de los Estados Unidos, Erika Becker Medina. Recientemente respondió preguntas importantes con respecto al Censo para actualizar sobre COVID-19, y qué tan fácil ha sido diseñado el cuestionario.

Especialmente durante estos tiempos de incertidumbre, y posiblemente pasando más tiempo en casa, es un buen momento para conectarse por internet, correo o por teléfono para completar el Censo 2020, ya que proporciona al país información que es beneficiosa para las escuelas, la infraestructura de sus comunidades, y lo más importante, te cuenta a ti y a tu familia.

Además, el Censo se puede completar en 11 idiomas diferentes, incluido en español.

Es importante mostrar la composición diversa del país y la entrevista que sigue explicará porque. Más información se encuentra en español en el sitio 2020census. gov/es. ¿Hola Erika, quería empezar con preguntar sobre el mensaje que están intentando que llegue a las comunidades sobre respondiendo al Censo?

Bueno, y ya la mayoría [de] los hogares han recibido la indicación inicial de la Oficina del Censo y pueden responder ya sea por internet, por teléfono o por correo postal.

Nunca ha sido tan fácil poder responder al Censo por cuenta propia, y sin tener que ver a un censista que es tan importante hoy en día.

Es importantísimo que todos los que vivimos en este país, sin importar el estatus migratorio, sin importar su país de origen, tenemos que participar en el Censo porque se necesita un conteo completo y preciso, ya que los resultados del Censo ayudan a informar cómo se distribuyen miles de millones de dólares federales cada año a nuestra comunidad.

Nuestras comunidades dependen de estos fondos porque pagan por muchos beneficios que son tan importantes como la infraestructura escolar, lo que incluye los almuerzos para los niños en el colegio o cuidado de niños después del colegio, en transporte público, y bueno, contar como clínicas de salud – que son tan importantes ahora y servicios de emergencia.

He oído que un miedo que la gente pueda tener es que les afecte un programa social o su estado migratorio respondiendo al formulario del censo. ¿Qué puede decir sobre eso?

No hay que tenerle miedo al Censo. Tus respuestas al Censo están protegidas por ley y no se pueden compartir con nadie, ni con

Pero todo cuenta y las preguntas son sumamente fáciles, muy básicas. Es decir, nombre, sexo, edad, fecha de nacimiento, origen, raza.

ninguna agencia federal, ni con la policía, ni con ICE. Están protegidas por ley y no se pueden usar en su contra. No hay que tenerle miedo porque es importantísimo hacerse contar y no ser invisible.

Y su comunidad depende de muchos beneficios. Uno depende de tantos beneficios y para recibir esos beneficios adecuados para esa comunidad hay que saber cuántas personas viven, es decir, la población de esa comunidad.

Y por eso, por ejemplo, es tan importante que nos acordamos de contar todos los niños, incluyendo los niños pequeños que históricamente han tenido un sub-conteo

beneficios justos y necesario, si no nos hacemos contar.

Pensando sobre estos tiempos de pandemia, especialmente ahora que hay mucha gente en la casa por la cuarentena, ¿porque sería importante que llenen el Censo?

La oficina del Censo está monitoreando cuidadosamente la situación general por el coronavirus. Estamos trabajando con las autoridades de salud a nivel federal, estatal y local. Mientras continuamos llevando a cabo el Censo del 2020 y otras importantes encuestas, nos enfocamos en dos principios claves: proteger la salud y la se-

No hay que tenerle miedo al Censo. Tus respuestas al Censo están protegidas por ley y no se pueden compartir con nadie, ni con ninguna agencia federal, ni con la policía, ni con ICE. en este país, es decir, los niños que tienen menos de cinco años Entonces es importante recordarles a todos que aún si es donde están todavía el hospital porque son recién nacidos mientras que nazcan el primero de abril o antes del primero de abril, cuentan para este Censo del 2020.

Porque si no, no contamos a nuestros niños nuestra comunidad no va a recibir los fondos justos y necesarios para estos niños, porque ya la próxima oportunidad para que contemos a esos niños sería el 2030.

Imagínate todo lo que se pierden en 10 años. Es decir, cuidado de niños, los programas escolares, incluyendo los almuerzos y programas preescolares. Tantas cosas, tantos beneficios que necesitamos para nuestros niños y no vamos a recibir los

guridad de nuestro personal y del público, y cumplir con nuestro deber constitucional de entregar los conteos del Censo del 2020.

Ahora, eso sí, nunca ha sido tan fácil responder por cuenta propia, ya sea por internet, por teléfono o por correo postal, sin tener que ver a un censista.

Nosotros diseñamos este Censo ya hace muchos años, pero con el objetivo de hacerlo más fácil para todos. Y ahora es que nos damos cuenta qué tan importante fue eso, porque ahora que muchos están en cuarentena es importante que sepan que todavía se pueden hacer contar y sin tener que correr el riesgo de ver a un censista, es decir, por lo de lo del virus. ¿Cuánto tiempo piensa que toma responder al cuestionario del Censo?

También hay que contar gente que vive en ese hogar que no son parientes. Es importantísimo tener eso en cuenta. Porque no es un Censo de familias, es un Censo de todos.

Si alguien ha llenado la forma del Censo y quiere cambiar una respuesta – por ejemplo, el número de personas en su hogar, ¿Se pueden hacer ajustes al Censo después de que se ha mandado?

Sí, lo que pasa es que, si uno cree que lo ha hecho mal, la Oficina del Censo tiene procesos internos para verificar la información y no contar la gente más de una vez. Pero entonces sí necesitan hacer eso, es posible. ¿Hay otro punto importante que quiere que la gente sepa sobre la importancia de llenarlo?

Recordarle a la gente que tan importante es tener datos que reflejan la realidad de la población para poder ayudar y preparar nuestras comunidades. Y lo importante es que los datos del Censo no solamente determinan la representación política en el Congreso, pero ayudan a informar cómo se distribuyen miles de millones de dólares federales a nuestras comunidades.

Además de eso los datos del Censo nos ayudan a predecir el número de posibles contagios por enfermedades como el COVID-19 para poder preparar a nuestras comunidades durante epidemias o una pandemia como ahora. ¿Cuál es la última oportunidad de llenar antes que se acabe?

Bueno, [hay] censista que son los que estamos contratando de su propia comunidad, para ayudar a los hogares que no han respondido; estos censistas van a ir a los barrios, a los vecindarios, a tocar las puertas a partir del 28 de mayo. Entonces lo mejor es responder ahora, este mes o el mes entrante, pero responder ahora porque estamos mandando varios recordatorios.

Y para los que no han respondido hasta finales de abril y ya a finales de mayo, si todavía no han respondido, allí es cuando los censistas van a ir a tocar las puertas y invitarlos a responder en persona. Pero lo mejor es hacerlo antes para no tener que mandar a un censista a su hogar.

as profecías del libro del Apocalipsis y otras predicciones afirman que en esta era, Jesucristo volverá a vivir en la Tierra, vendrá a juzgar a los vivos y a los muertos el majestuoso día del juicio final. Muchas corrientes evangélicas, predicen que estamos viviendo en tiempos bíblicos y que la

segunda venida de Mesías a la Tierra se aproxima.

Muchos de los creyentes afirman que existe un antes y un después en la vida de las personas que acuden a Cristo. Pedro Acosta, un creyente, nos relató que hubo un lapso en su vida, que todo era un caos, enfermaba muy a menudo y su vida romántica era inexistente. Su trabajo no daba frutos y se sentía a la deriva.

poder sanador de Jesucristo, y desde ese momento, inició una transformación en mi existencia.

Jesucristo no quiere fanatismo quiere tener creyentes serenos y sensatos, señaló, Pedro”. Sin importar las penas y desafíos que ahora esté enfrentando, ni los padecimientos que tenga, o si no encuentra la salida a sus preocupaciones; invoque con mucha fe, el poder sanador de Jesucristo. Él obrará milagros en su vida y sanará su corazón de angustias, pesares y sufrimientos. Jesucristo, es la verdad, la vida y la resurrección.

Cristo, el Santo fuerte, el Santo inmortal. El personaje más influyente en la historia de la humanidad.

Por Él, se celebra, la natividad, la semana santa y la cuaresma por ejemplo. Él, es la base sólida del cristianismo. Durante esta época, millones de creyentes acuden a misa, a cultos evangélicos y a servicios espirituales en honor al hijo de Dios. Sin embargo, ante la emergencia sanitaria que enfrentamos, este año no habrá cultos ni misas.

Su culto y rezos deberán realizarse en privado. La historia de Jesucristo, según las sagradas escrituras, es misteriosa, se conoce de Él, parte de sus vivencias desde su nacimiento hasta la edad de doce años; de esa edad hasta los treinta años, su vida es un enigma, lleno de especulaciones y teorías. Cuando tenía alrededor de treinta años, comenzó a evangelizar al pueblo; no escogía a poderosos ni acaudalados como sus seguidores, mucho se le criticaba por reunirse con personas viciosas o de mala reputación.

Eran ovejas descarriadas que Él sanaba y libraba de fuerzas malignas. En varios pasajes bíblicos, como en el Evangelio según San Mateo, son relatados episodios en los que Jesucristo, sanaba a las personas, no solamente de padecimientos físicos, sino también de trastornos emocionales y mentales, y hasta de posesiones diabólicas. Miguel García, un fiel creyente de Jesucristo, nos comentó que durante mucho tiempo se sintió acosado día y noche por un mal espíritu, veía sombras oscuras y escuchaba voces perturbadoras. Recuerda que fue una etapa muy difícil, que no pudo superar hasta que entregó su alma y corazón al poder del Señor de la Misericordia “Él escucha a los que tienen verdadera fe, les perdona sus faltas y les brinda una oportunidad para mejorar sus vidas. Lo más sublime de mi vida es mi fe en Cristo, nos comentó, Miguel”.

Aún con desconfianza Comunidades hispanas aún sienten temor por las preguntas del Censo

Virgnia Gaglianone

Virginia.gaglianone@laopinion.com

El conteo nacional de esta década ya comenzó en algunas zonas de Alaska, y en menos de un mes, el resto de los hogares estadounidenses comenzarán a recibir los cuestionarios del Censo.

Participar en el Censo es mandatorio por ley y las respuestas pueden enviarse tanto por correo, como a través de la internet o por teléfono. Aquellos hogares que no respondan al cuestionario recibirán la visita de un enumerador para recabar la información.

La información obtenida

durante el conteo es fundamental para la planificación y creación de servicios y recursos para la población. Alrededor de 1,500 millones de dólares en fondos federales para programas comunitarios dependen de dicha información. Es por ello que es tan importante que todos participen en el conteo.

Sin embargo, aquellos grupos que más se beneficiarían de ser contados, tienden a ser los más reacios a participar.

Un ejemplo de grupos “difíciles de contar” son las comunidades migrantes, que temen que su información sea compartida con otras agencias, como ICE. Desconfianza y confusión El Instituto Urban, Urban (urban.org), una organización de investigación sin fines de lucro basada en Washington DC, realizó una encuesta entre diciembre de 2019 y enero de 2020 para determinar la intención y preocupaciones relacionadas a la participación en el Censo, de las po-

blaciones difíciles de contar.

La encuesta realizada a nivel nacional incluyó a 7,694 adultos, entre 18 y 64 años de edad y sus resultados fueron publicados hace unos días.

“Encontramos preocupación y desconfianza en cómo el Censo utilizará la información”, indicó Michael Karpman Investigador asociado senior del Instituto Urban, en entrevista con este diario.

Karpman indicó que la preocupación es resultado de una combinación de factores, entre ellos la falta de información y la falta de confianza de ciertas comunidades en las instituciones.

El investigador también destacó la confusión que existe alrededor de la pregun-

ta de ciudadanía, a pesar de que ésta no está incluida en el cuestionario. Originalmente, la Administración Trump había propuesto incluir en el cuestionario del Censo una pregunta sobre la ciudadanía de los encuestados. Pero luego de un año de batallas legales, la Corte Suprema bloqueó dicha pregunta. Sin embargo, el efecto del anuncio original aún genera temor entre las comunidades de inmigrantes.

Karpman señaló que si bien el 72% de los inmigrantes encuestados indicaron que sí completarán el cuestionario y que son conscientes de la importancia y obligación de hacerlo, existía mucha preocupación en la comunidad.

El reporte encontró que cerca del 70% de los adultos cree que les preguntarán si son o no ciudadanos estadounidenses.

Intención de participar Según el informe, más de tres cuartos, o el 77.2% de los adultos entrevistados tiene la intención de responder al cuestionario del Censo, ya sea por correo o en la internet.

La intención de participar en el Censo es más baja entre los grupos de adultos de entre 18 y 34 años de edad, en las familias hispanas y con miembros que no son ciudadanos estadounidenses, y entre las comunidades que viven bajo niveles de pobreza. Al no querer participar y no ser contados, los individuos de los grupos más pobres corren el riesgo de que no se destinen fondos para programas, servicios y recursos que los beneficiarían, por desconocerse su existencia.

Casi un tercio de los adultos, o el 31.6%, cree que las respuestas al cuestionario del

Alrededor de 1,500 millones de dólares en fondos federales para programas comunitarios dependen de dicha información. Es por ello que es tan importante que todos participen en el conteo.

Censo serán utilizadas para encontrar a personas sin documentos legales de inmigración. Entre los adultos que viven en familias con miembros que no son ciudadanos, la desconfianza es del 40.6%; mientras que, en los hogares con personas preocupadas por una posible deportación, la desconfianza es del 46.4%.

A Petition for Probate has been filed by Larry Dean Lupretta in the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Clara.

The petition requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court.

The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administer of Estate Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take any actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consent to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person Files and objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: April 13, 2020, at 9:01am, Dept. 13, located at 191 North First Street, San Jose, CA 95113.

If you object to the granting of this petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. If you are a creditor or contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either: 1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or 2) 60 days from the date

of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

En la mañana del 9 de abril, el obispo Cantú celebrará el Crisma Misa, en el que bendecirá y consagrará el Santo Aceite. Los aceites son utilizados en liturgias y sacramentos por todas las parroquias durante todo el año también. Típicamente, durante la Misa Crismal anual, todo el clero de la Diócesis se reúne para celebrar la liturgia y renovar elir sacerdotal promises.

Este año, conlos aceites sagrados serán bendecidos, la renovación de los promises de lossacerdotes será reprogramada para la Caída.

AN JOSE, CA – While Holy Week is one of the most sacred times of the year for Christians, the Coronavirus pandemic has caused the global Catholic community to adjust their spiritual practices to comply with stay-at-home orders and social distancing requirements.

“Holy Week is meant to remind us of the great sacrifice of Jesus Christ leading to the joy of His Resurrection,” explained Bishop Oscar Cantú of the Diocese of San José. “Although we are unable to come together as a community this year, our parishes are doing their part to help ‘flatten the curve’ by finding creative ways to continue our ministry: livestreaming liturgies, activating phone trees to check on vulnerable parishioners, and offering drive-through Confession and online retreats. Though we will be apart physically, we are working to bring our communities together virtually, as one family in Christ, to celebrate this most sacred of weeks.”

Since March 13, all public Masses in the Diocese of San José have been suspended until further notice, in line with the State and County Health Departments’ Stay-at-Home orders. All Holy Week celebrations, which will be closed to the public, will be livestreamed and have been modified in accord with recent guidelines published by the Vatican.

The schedule of Diocesan Holy Week celebrations with Bishop Cantú is listed below. Parishes within the Diocese of San José have their own Holy Week livestream schedules. Catholics are also encouraged to check with their local parish for details.

Liturgical Adaptions Palm Sunday Holy Week begins this Sunday, April 5, with Palm Sunday celebrations commemorating the Lord’s entrance into Jerusalem. Parishioners often look forward to the beginning of Mass on Palm Sunday, which traditionally begins distribution and blessing of palms and a procession of the blessed palms during the entrance rite. Because there will be no assembly, this year’s Palm Sunday Masses will include a simple entrance, in which the priest proceeds to the altar during a regular entrance procession and continues Mass in the usual way. No palms will be distributed this year.

Holy Week Prayer during the Coronavirus with Bishop Cantú Bishop Cantú invites all to join virtually as he leads a special Holy Week Prayer on the evening of Palm Sunday to pray for the healing of our community and world and for renewed strength as Catholics deal with the effects of the Coronavirus crisis and prepare to encounter the Lord during this most sacred of weeks. The prayer will include Scripture and adoration of the Blessed Sacrament.

Holy Thursday On the morning of April 9, Bishop Cantú will celebrate the Chrism Mass, in which he will bless and consecrate the Holy Oils. The oils are used in liturgies and sacraments by all parishes throughout the year also. Typically, during the annual Chrism Mass, all of the clergy from the Diocese gather to celebrate the liturgy and renew their priestly promises.

This year, while the holy oils will be blessed, the renewal of the promises of priests will be rescheduled for the Fall.

In the evening, the Mass of the Lord’s Supper will be celebrated privately at parishes. This year’s the traditional washing of the feet, which is already optional, will be omitted. At the end of the Mass of the Lord’s Supper, the procession with the Blessed Sacrament to the place of repose will be omitted.

Good Friday Good Friday is the one day in the year that no Masses are celebrated. In remembrance of Jesus’ suffering and death on the Cross, Catholics gather for a Communion service and to venerate the Holy Cross. This year on April 10, the Good Friday Liturgy

Por la noche, la Misa de la Cena del Señor se celebrará en privado en las parroquias. Este año se omitirá el tradicional lavado de los pies, que ya esopcional. Al final de la Misa de la Cena del Señor, se omitirá la procesión con el Santísimo Sacramento al lugar de reposo.

Viernes Santo

Bishop Cantu has also instructed all priests to include in the Solemn Intercessions a special intention for an end to the pandemic. During livestream services on Good Friday, Catholics are invited to either genuflect or profoundly bow to their cross at home during the Adoration of the Holy Cross.

Easter Holy Week culminates with Easter Vigil on Saturday, April 11, and Easter on Sunday, April 12. Traditionally, during the Easter Vigil (which occurs after sunset), the Easter fire is kindled, and the Paschal candle is blessed and lit—but this year, the lightning of the fire and the procession will be omitted. Also, the Rite of Christian Initiation, usually celebrated during the Easter Vigil, has been postponed.

"Aunque no podemos reunirnos como comunidad este año, nuestras parroquias están haciendo su parte para ayudar ar ‘'aplanar la curva'mediante la búsqueda de formas creativas de continuar nuestro ministerio:: la transmisión en vivo de liturgias, la activacióndel teléfono para comprobar a los feligreses vulnerables, y ofrecer drive-through Confession y retiros en línea.

Aunque estaremos separados físicamente, estamos trabajando para reunir a nuestras comunidades virtualmente, como una sola familia enCristo, para celebrar esta semana más sagrada".
