Dear Rancho Cordova Residents and Businesses,
We are beginning 2022 with some updates related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
New Public Health Order
Today, Sacramento County Public Health issued a Public Health Order due to the highly transmissible COVID-19 Omicron variant, which is creating unprecedented COVID-19 case rate increases in Sacramento County.
What Does This Health Order Mean?
This Health Order requires that (1) all public meetings in the county occur virtually until further notice, and (2) it encourages workplaces to conduct meeting remotely, as business needs permit.
The July 29, 2021 Public Health Order requiring all individuals in Sacramento County to wear face coverings indoors in workplaces and in public settings is still in effect.
How Can I Best Protect Myself and My Community?
High infection rates are expected to impact hospital capacity, especially for those who are unvaccinated or not boosted, as well as those at higher risk of severe infection.
Recovery Assistance for Eligible Businesses and Nonprofit Organizations
This week, the city launched a second round of grants to assist businesses, as well as nonprofits, that are experiencing economic hardship due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The city will provide grants of up to $40,000 to businesses and between $5,000 and $10,000 to nonprofit organizations that are located in the city and serve our Rancho Cordova community. More than $1.6 million in funding is available thanks to the city’s Community Enhancement & Investment Fund and other COVID-19 sources.
Where Can I Get More Information?
- Free Vaccines and Boosters
- Free COVID-19 Testing
- Recovery Assistance for Businesses and Nonprofits
- How to Identify COVID-19 Misinformation
It’s still very important to get vaccinated or boosted, continue wearing your face coverings, practice social distancing, and wash hands frequently. Thank you for doing your part to combat this disease and for helping to protect yourself and your fellow community members.
Sincerely,
Cyrus Abhar
City Manager
