Dear Rancho Cordova Residents and Businesses,
I hope you are staying healthy during this crisis, staying at home as much as possible, and employing social distancing when you cannot. These efforts will make a difference in our ability to keep people healthy, and it will save lives. Please watch
this video
, which explains why social distancing is so important.
In this update, I want to provide you with a summary of services and programs that are designed to support you during this critical time. Please note that all of this information can be found at the city’s coronavirus webpage at
CityofRanchoCordova.org/Coronavirus
.
I know this is an unprecedented time, but we are inspired by the many actions of our community coming together, and we are sharing these stories on social media. For example, one Rancho Cordova doctor is sewing and donating surgical masks and encouraging others to do so. And, two of our city’s distilleries are halting their regular business operations to produce much-needed hand sanitizer. I ask you to share your inspiring stories with us too, using the hashtag #RanchoCordovaInspires.
One last note: The World Health Organization is encouraging everyone to “Do the Five.” These 5 simple reminders can help us mitigate the spread of coronavirus:
1. HANDS Wash them often
2. ELBOW Cough into it
3. FACE Don’t touch it
4. SPACE Keep a safe distance
5. HOME Stay if you can
We will continue to update you as new information becomes available. In the meantime, I ask that you share this information widely with others who may not have signed up for the city’s newsletters and are not following us on social media.
My best wishes for your health.
Sincerely,
Cyrus Abhar
City Manager
