<\/p>\nSan Andreas, CA…On March 9, 2021, the California Department of Public Health announced that effective March 10, 2021, Calaveras County will be moved from the purple tier to the red tier in the state\u2019s 4-tier system.

The changes come as COVID-19 cases decrease. Changes to the tier system can occur any day of the week and may occur more than once a week when immediate action is needed to slow the spread of COVID-19. Counties are required to put into place any sector changes the day following the tier announcement. The goal is to make sure patients can get the access to care they need and prevent hospitals from being overrun. Calaveras Public Health urges caution and encourages people to take the necessary steps to prevent being exposed to the virus and help the county continue to lower its risk level.<\/p>\n
Protect yourself and others from COVID-19. The best way to prevent illness is to avoid being exposed to the virus:
\n\uf0b7 Wear a face mask that covers your nose and mouth when you leave home, including public places and anywhere you will be around people who do not live with you.
\n\uf0b7 Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or use hand sanitizer. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
\n\uf0b7 Stay at least 6 feet away from other people.
\n\uf0b7 Stay home if you are sick.
\n\uf0b7 Avoid gatherings.<\/p>\n
Everyone is at risk for COVID-19 and should take precautions to avoid getting exposed to the virus. Older adults and people with underlying medical conditions are at increased risk for severe illness and death from COVID-19. This means that they may be hospitalized, require a ventilator to help them breathe, or may even be fatal. COVID-19 can be very serious and Calaveras Public Health asks that you follow the safety guidelines.<\/p>\n
Symptoms can appear 2-14 days after exposure to the virus. The symptoms of COVID-19 include:
\n\uf0b7 Fever or chills
\n\uf0b7 Cough
\n\uf0b7 Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
\n\uf0b7 Fatigue
\n\uf0b7 Muscle or body aches
\n\uf0b7 Headache
\n\uf0b7 New loss of taste or smell
\n\uf0b7 Sore throat
\n\uf0b7 Congestion or runny nose
\n\uf0b7 Nausea or vomiting
\n\uf0b7 Diarrhea<\/p>\n
Look for emergency warning signs for COVID-19. If someone is showing signs, seek emergency care immediately:
\n\uf0b7 Trouble breathing
\n\uf0b7 New confusion or weakness
\n\uf0b7 Bluish lips or face
\n\uf0b7 Persistent pain or pressure in the chest
\n\uf0b7 Inability to wake or stay awake<\/p>\n
