COVID-19 Community Conversation

Our initial COVID-19 Community Conversations were very successful, with over 200 people digitally attending.  Sacramento County Public Health Department wants to keep that momentum going and will continue hosting a Covid-19 Community Conversation every other Thursday. The next one is today October 15 at 6:00pm.  These are done every other Thursday (on opposite weeks of Board of Supervisors meetings).

During these community conversations Director of Public Health Dr. Peter Bielenson and Sacramento County Public Health Officer Dr. Olivia Kasirye will provide a brief update on COVID-19 in Sacramento County and then move on to answering questions from the public.

If anyone wishes to join you must register in advance here: https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN__MItRI1lQwaaXlUlemJfRA

After registering you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar. For the first couple of minutes Dr. Kasirye and Dr. Bielenson will provide an update and will spend the remainder of the time answering questions from the community.

Sac County COVID-19

Sacramento County Public Health Officer Dr. Olivia Kasirye has announced a new amended Public Health Order.  Here is a summary of the primary updates to the Oct. 13 Sacramento County Public Health Order:

  • Schools - All school grade levels in Sacramento County are permitted to conduct in-person instruction with required mitigation measures maintained (social distancing, face coverings, and sanitization) in compliance with California Department of Public Health (CDPH) and Sacramento County Public Health.

  • Gatherings - To align with the Oct. 9 CDPH private gatherings guidance, Sacramento County Public Health continues to discourage social gatherings of non-household members.  However, people who choose to attend gatherings should limit the size to the same members from no more than three different households.

  • Appendix A - Social Distancing Protocol with Signs
