Thank you. That passes. Item three is the directors report. Commissioners, grant colfax, the health director. A few things in the directors report. We had the pleasure of participating in an announcement with senator scott wiener and mayor breed with reintroducing the Safe Injection Sites. The senator plans to reintroduce this bill in december. As you know that Safe Injection Sites have been a priority for the department and in alignment with mayor breeds priorities. We need these evidencebased proven interventions more than ever as fentanyl continues its uncrease in San Francisco and we have estimated that weve had more than 470 Overdose Deaths in the first month of 2020. And so this is a muchneeded intervention and it remains a priority and able to participate with the senator and the mayor in announcing the fact that that the bill will be reintroduced. We continue to encourage everyone in the city to get a flu shot now more than ever. This is certainly not the year to skip on a flu

To do here. I have always been reluctant to say this truly could be one of the most important things we as members of this committee do.
