David Herfindahl MD, MPH Health Officer and Marcie Jo Cudziol RN, PHN, MPA PHN Director, issued a Health Officer Advisory and Order on March 25: “As positive cases of coronavirus (COVID-19) continue to spread around the world, residents of Trinity County are increasingly concerned about the virus being brought into the county by infected travelers who own homes here, but do not reside here year-round. In light of this consideration, anyone choosing to reside in their second home within Trinity County shall self-quarantine for a period of no less than 14 days upon arrival. During this quarantine period you could leave the home for essential services such as getting food, purchasing gas, and going to the pharmacy or to a health care provider. All non-residents are being asked to stay out of Trinity County at this time as ordered by the Governor of California. This is an effort to prevent unintentional spread of the coronavirus to residents who would otherwise be at a reduced risk of exposure. As with any pandemic, the primary concern is keeping people safe, but also people need to understand Trinity County has limited resources and our medical system could be quickly overwhelmed should the precautions not be heeded. Your cooperation in this matter is greatly appreciated as we continue to navigate through this pandemic.” If there are any questions concerning this Health Officer Order please contact Public Health at 530-623-8209 or the Trinity County Office of Emergency Services at 530-623-1116.
