VALLEJO, CA – The City of Vallejo and Solano County Public Health continue to monitor local conditions and circumstances associated with COVID-19. Solano County Public Health has jurisdictional authority over public health in the Solano County. As the global pandemic evolves on the local level, it is the City’s top priority to keep essential services available to the community and clear channels of communication on accessibility. For the most up-to-date Vallejo information, go to cityofvallejo.net/NCOV.
In an effort to protect our Firefighters, Police Officers, and Paramedics, we ask that if anyone calls 9-1-1 for any reason, to inform the 9-1-1 dispatcher if you are experiencing any flu-like symptoms.
The City continues to hold ongoing, internal briefings to assess the event, deploy plans, and advance phased response strategies. The City is prepared to activate the emergency operation center as the event necessitates.
