(March 15, 2020, 11:30 a.m.) -- Long Beach Councilman Roberto Uranga was absent at the March 10 City Council meeting, attending a meeting in Santa Cruz in his capacity as a member of the CA Coastal Commission. LATimes.com reported yesterday (March 14) that the Coastal Commision's chair fell ill at that meeting with COVID-19. His wife, former Councilwoman/now LBUSD School Board runoff candidate Tonia Reyes Uranga has posted on Facebook:
My post election relaxation activities included a trip to beautiful Santa Cruz to join my husband at his California Coastal Commission (CCC) meeting this past week. The weather was perfect and the only rain was on Saturday as we headed home. On our way back to Long Beach we were met with the news that one of the CCC commissioners, the Chair Steve Padilla, had tested positive for COVID19. He did look unwell but he thought he was battling the flu. [Scroll down for further.] |
Ms. Uranga tells LBREPORT.com that Councilman/Commissioner Uranga was in a large hall with the Coastal Commission chair for a day or two but never sat together.
"We conferred with the Long Beach Health Dept. and they recommended the self home stay. We have no symptoms and are doing fine but if we get any we will call the health department for next steps," Ms. Uranga says. [LBREPORT.com has extended our wishes to Councilman and Mrs. Uranga for their continued good health.].
