Message From Citrus City Manager Chris Boyd

From the Town of Citrus Heights:

March 12, 2020

The COVID-19 situation is constantly evolving, and your City of Citrus Heights Staff and Officials continue to closely monitor updates from the Sacramento County Public Health Department and Office of Emergency Services. Our Staff is in constant contact with regional, state, and federal-level senior officials.

On March 9, Sacramento County Public Health announced new mitigation efforts for COVID-19 in our region, to protect those who are most vulnerable to severe illness, and allow our health care system to prepare resources to take care of severely ill patients. Those looking for the most up-to-date information on COVID-19, including the County’s mitigation strategy, prevention tips, and a list of risk factors, should continue to refer to the County’s website: www.SacCounty.net/COVID-19/.

This morning, Governor Gavin Newsom issued a new executive order to enhance California’s ability to respond to COVID-19, and reiterated recommendations related to gatherings. At this time, the City echoes the County and State recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which can be found at www.CDC.gov/COVID19.

In line with these recommendations, City Staff are postponing our own non-essential meetings, large events (with over 250 attendees), and gatherings that host high-risk populations through March. Staff are contacting those affected directly, and updating our website accordingly. We are committed to ensuring the highest well-being and safety of Citrus Heights residents and staff.

City Hall remains open and City Council meetings will proceed with small changes to agendas to postpone non-essential items in an effort to minimize risk. Our Community Center and City Hall staff are available to answer events-related questions, and we remain committed to delivering the quality services our City deserves.
