Local Information, Action, & Recommendations

  • COVID-19 Prevention – Remember that you can help reduce the spread of COVID-19 by staying home as much as possible, washing your hands frequently, by practicing social distancing, and using a cloth face covering when in public.
  • CRITICAL REMINDER - Failure to comply with Health Officer Orders places individuals and our community at increased risk of infection.Violation of Health Officer Orders may also result in a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment, fine, or both (Health and Safety Code §120295). Additional actions may be taken by the Health Officer, including civil detention or requiring one to stay at a health facility or other location, to protect the public’s health if an individual who is subject to a Health Order violates or fails to comply with Health Officer orders.  The best enforcement tool we have is social pressure, so if you see inappropriate behavior, say something! Current Orders issued by the Health Officer can be viewed at https://www.inyocounty.us/covid-19/press-releases.
