News scrapers live in the news directory. You can follow the San Francisco scraper as an example.

San Mateo County

  1. The County Manager’s Office hosts press releases that show up under the Coronavirus heading on the county home page: https://cmo.smcgov.org/press-releases

    (Bonus: this actually has an RSS feed! https://cmo.smcgov.org/news/feed)

  2. The county health office has health orders and health officer statements: https://www.smchealth.org/post/health-officer-statements-and-orders-0

  3. The county health office also has “local news:” https://www.smchealth.org/post/local-news-you-need It’s much less timely and detailed than the CMO office’s press releases. (Actually, it looks like a subset.)

  4. The Joint Information Center (JIC) has a bunch of stuff, but ultimately just shows the CMO press releases (1) for news: https://cmo.smcgov.org/jic

I think just using the RSS feed from the CMO (1) is probably the most sensible here.
