Want Real-Time Updates about Confirmed COVID-19 Cases?
The LA County Department of Public Health posts daily updates about the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in Los Angeles County, broken down by city/community, as well as related deaths, to their website. As of March 23, there are 5 confirmed cases in Altadena. You can also find Public Health orders related to coronavirus and COVID-19 guides for specific audiences (schools, employers, faith-based organizations, etc.).

A Reminder About Social Distancing:
Social distancing means staying home, avoiding crowds, and staying at least 6 feet away from other people whenever possible.

When someone with COVID-19 coughs or sneezes, the small droplets from their nose or mouth can travel 3-6 feet. People can get infected if they breathe in these droplets, or the droplets land on their eyes, nose, or mouth. It is possible that some people can spread the virus before they even start to feel unwell. It is also possible for a person to get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or possibly eyes.

The less time we spend within 6 feet of each other, and the fewer people we interact with in person, the more likely we are to slow the spread of COVID-19.
