County COVID-19 Information

    • Contact Tracing:
        • When someone tests positive for COVID-19, notifying their close contacts can help stop the spread. In Shasta County, you may get a call or text from a 916 area code. The text will include a link to a website that begins “caconnected.cdph.ca.gov,” which leads to a questionnaire that helps with the contact tracing process. For questions, call 530-225-5591.

    • Current Tier Assignments:
        • See covid19.ca.gov/safer-economy. (Scroll down to California map.)
        • 2/23/21: Shasta County is now in the Red Tier – PR Red tier and lower case rate022321.
        • 2/18/21: A recent Supreme Court ruling led the State of California to update its guidance for places of worship and cultural ceremonies. In both the purple and the red tier, churches can be open indoors at 25 percent capacity with modifications, including masks and physical distancing. This limited capacity is designed to protect people from exposure to people outside their immediate households while allowing them to still practice their faith. Churches are encouraged to continue to also provide services through alternative methods, such as streaming services, for those who are at higher risk.
