We know that everyone is concerned about the novel coronavirus. The best thing we can all do is take action to practice safe hygiene and prevention measures to keep ourselves and our family members safe. If you are at higher risk, additional precautions about being in public spaces are recommended below.

The Sonoma County Department of Health Services has engaged public health colleagues from the California Department of Public Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for assistance.  DHS will continue to work with them and other partners to respond to cases, to trace contacts, and to understand what is going on in our community. The County Emergency Operations Center has been activated to plan and respond to this public health situation. Colleagues from across county government are helping with the response.
