• Who is being vaccinated now? People in Phase 1A (healthcare workers, long-term care facilities) and people 75 and older. How can they sign up for vaccine? Options are listed at www.ShastaReady.org (click “Vaccinations”). If you don’t see an option that works for you and if you are eligible now, there are two ways to get on the list to be scheduled for an appointment – click the blue oval labeled “Tell me when it’s my turn” and complete the short survey, or call (530) 245-7890. Both options will get you on one master list, and Public Health will call or email you to set up an appointment.
• The state has updated its youth sports guidance to allow competition for certain sports. Since Shasta County is in the purple tier, outdoor low-contact sports are allowed, including cross country, dance, golf, running, skiing, snowboarding, swimming, tennis, track and field, and others. The complete list is listed in the youth sports guidance. If we move into a lower tier by slowing the spread and increasing our testing, more sports will be allowed. For example, the red tier adds baseball, cheerleading (outdoors), gymnastics, softball and more.
