While COVID-19 represents a severe public health threat at this time, the risk to Santa Cruz County residents remains low. As a precaution, the elderly and those with respiratory issues susceptible to the coronavirus should stay away. We request community members who are sick not to attend.
Santa Cruz Police Department is closely monitoring the Santa Cruz County Public Health Department updates and will make adjustments as needed.
Law Enforcement Prepared for Coronavirus Spread
Local county police chiefs and sheriffs met in preparation for contingency plans should a worst-case coronavirus scenario outbreak continue. Officers are instructed on and equipped for dealing with potential coronavirus cases.
COVID-19 Precautions
Stay home when you are sick.
Cover your coughs and sneezes with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
Clean frequently touched surfaces and objects daily.
