The County, City of Grass Valley and City of Nevada City continue to jointly respond to coronavirus and COVID-19, the illness caused by coronavirus, by implementing social distancing protocols. Coronavirus continues to be an emerging, rapidly evolving situation. We thank our community partners who are making all efforts to help protect the community, from practicing social distancing to following the state and federal guidelines for gatherings. By following the best practices our community can help flatten the bell curve of those possibly contracting COVID-19, help guard against our local health care systems becoming overwhelmed, and protect those most vulnerable to coronavirus in our community.
County of Nevada
To protect the community and slow the spread of COVID-19, the County of Nevada is temporarily closing County facilities to the public beginning Thursday, March 19th.
The County will continue to provide essential services such as law enforcement, wastewater, roads maintenance, emergency services, transit and social services, behavioral health and public health services. The County has implemented telecommuting and teleconferencing for employees, where appropriate and feasible.
Although there may be changes in the delivery of services, many services are going to continue in remote or online formats. Residents are encouraged to find remote and e-services online at www.mynevadacounty.com/coronavirus.
We recognize that many jurisdictions have decided to shelter-in-place, including Sacramento County. We want to continue to encourage the community to practice social distancing and prepare for the continued disruption of daily life.
Coronavirus continues to be an emerging, rapidly evolving situation. Find local, up-to-date information and links to state and federal guidance at www.mynevadacounty.com/coronavirus.
