Community Update – December 10, 2020

COVID-19 cases are on the rise in our community, in the County and across the nation.
 
RCMS reminds all of our community members to continue with practices such as wearing a mask, physical distancing, regular handwashing, disinfecting high-touch surfaces, and avoid gatherings with those outside of your household. 
 
Asymptomatic Testing
 RCMS is working to bring asymptomatic testing (testing for people without any symptoms) events back to our community and are finalizing details with Mendocino County. We will inform the community as soon as dates and locations are set. In the meantime, you may schedule free asymptomatic testing at OptumServe in Ukiah or Santa Rosa via this link:

Exposure to Someone Who Has Tested Positive
 If you have been exposed to someone who has tested positive for COVID-19, the Mendocino County Public Health Department guideline is that you should self-quarantine for 14 days. If you develop symptoms within those 14 days you will be tested as symptomatic patients. Otherwise, you can be tested on the 15th day to be cleared.
 
If You Are Experiencing Symptoms
 If you are experiencing COVID-19 related symptoms (i.e., fever, chills, cough, shortness of breath, loss of taste/smell, vomiting/diarrhea) please call RCMS to schedule an appointment (707) 884-4005.
 
This is a critical time in the pandemic and we need everyone to do their part to slow the spread of COVID-19. Be well and be safe. We are in this together and we will get through this together.
