Rise in COVID-19 Cases in Sacramento County
You may have seen in the news that there has been an increase in the number of COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations in Sacramento County. We must continue to be vigilant to help stop the spread of COVID-19. The revised Public Health Order emphasizes that it is critical to continue to:
- Stay at home, especially if you’re ill
- Maintain social distancing of six feet or more from others
- Wear face coverings when social distancing is not possible
- Frequently wash hands or use hand sanitizer
Testing
If you’re sick and have
COVID-19 symptoms
or even if you have no symptoms, the County Health Department is recommending testing.
Free COVID-19 testing
is available in multiple locations throughout Sacramento County and is now less invasive than before.
