• Community spread is growing rapidly in our community, and many of our newer cases have been connected with Halloween parties. This virus spreads through close contact with an infected person, so it is important to limit your contact with others. Please stay home as much as possible, stay physically distanced when you do go out, wear face coverings, wash hands frequently, and stay home when sick. If you are in a local business where most people are not wearing face coverings, we would recommend that you go back at a less busy time or take advantage of take-out and delivery options.
• Have you tested positive for COVID-19? You can take action right away to stop the spread. If you’ve received a positive test result and haven’t yet heard from Public Health, go to www.ShastaReady.org, click on “Quarantine and Isolation Instructions” and review the instructions. Please alert anybody who has been within 6 feet of you for 15 minutes or more, starting from 48 hours before your symptoms began (or 48 hours before your positive test, if you are asymptomatic). They should follow the self-quarantine instructions. Containing the spread will protect others from COVID-19 and get Shasta County back on the road to a less-restrictive tier.
