In-Person Public Meeting Guidance

Travel Advisory Updated April 2, 2021

CDPH and the CDC recommend delaying travel until you are fully vaccinated, as air, bus or rail travel increases the chance of getting and spreading COVID-19 particularly with more transmissable variants of the virus. After you’ve been fully vaccinated against COVID-19, you should keep taking precautions — like wearing a mask, staying 6 feet apart from others, and avoiding crowds and poorly ventilated spaces in public places until more is known. Read the updated travel advisory and learn more about domestic travel during COVI​D-19​.

COVID-19 Vaccination Survey Scams

Fake COVID-19 survey scams are being circulated to get your personal information. Currently, no post-vaccine surveys are being conducted by Pfizer, Moderna or Johnson & Johnson via email or text message. Do not open the messages or provide any personal information, including credit card and/or bank information.​ Read the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement Press Release:  https://www.ice.gov/news/releases/hsi-partners-warn-consumers-covid-19-post-vaccine-survey-scam​

Seasonal COVID-19 Guidance

Sacramento County has created COVID-19 guidance for spring. These, and much more can be found on EMD’s COVID-19 webpage​.  Please see the latest guidance below. 

SacCounty Transitions Vaccination Site to Curative

​Starting the week of March 22, the County will begin transitioning the Cal Expo drive-through vaccination site to its partner, Curative, which also runs the large drive-through vaccination site at McClellan Park. For the transition, the Cal Expo vaccination site will halt first dose scheduling through the County’s appointment system to finish the series of second doses. By early to mid-April, Curative will begin scheduling first dose appointments at Cal Expo. This transition will allow the County to prepare additional vaccination sites when vaccine supply is greater in the coming months. Read the 3/19/202​1 SacCountyNews article​​ for details​​​​.

Coronavirus Variant Strains

It’s been reported by the CDC that variant strains have been found in the U.S. – including in California. For details about the variant strains, visit the CDC website.

​​​SacCounty Streamlines COVID-19 Contact Tracing Via Email and Text​

Sacramento County Public Health is making the COVID-19 case investigation process more efficient by launching a new solution to streamline its COVD-19 contact tracing. The new program powered by Qualtrics allows the department to contact individuals who have tested positive for COVID-19 via email or text. The communication will link those positive for COVID-19 with an assessment that gathers contact information for those they have exposed. Public Health then notifies these contacts that they may have been about exposed to the virus and the actions they should take. To learn more read the SacCountyNews story.

​Housing for the Harvest is a Sacramento County partnership with La Familia to Slow the Spread of COVID-19

Housing for the Harvest provides farm workers or food processing workers who have COVID-19 or been exposed to the virus with a free hotel room to effectively quarantine/isolate to protect their family, co-workers and the community from contact with the COVID-19 virus. Please see the Housing for the Harvest flyer for details in English and Spanish.​
