Protect
Against Infection
The San Bernardino County Department of Public Health (DPH) is continuously working with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) to respond to reports of Novel Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19).
A State and Local Health Order has been placed for residents to stay at home except to get food, care for a relative or friend, get necessary health care, or go to an essential job. If you must leave your home for an essential outing, wear a face covering that covers your nose and mouth and keep at least 6 feet of distance from other people.
We encourage older adults and those with chronic medical conditions to take additional precautions to avoid getting sick with the COVID-19.
We know these measures are challenging during this time, but they are necessary to help protect all of our communities.
ECONOMIC RECOVERY
Monday through Friday
9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The hotline is NOT for medical calls. If you are feeling sick, please contact your health care providers or 9-1-1. If you have questions about social services, please call 2-1-1.
PREVENTION
Symptoms
Other symptoms may also include chills, repeated shaking with chills, muscle pain or aches, headache, sore throat, and new loss of taste or smell. People with COVID-19 have had a wide range of symptoms reported – ranging from mild symptoms to severe illness. If you are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 and may have had contact with a person with COVID-19, or recently traveled to countries with apparent community spread, call your health care provider before seeking medical care so that appropriate precautions can be taken.
