| Reason for Recommended Action/Background |
| Yolo County has received an award in the amount of $126,000 by the California Department of Public Health (“CDPH”) through Heluna Health as one of 17 sites to operate a Community Surveillance program in the state. Community surveillance allows for the early detection of novel coronavirus spread in the general community that can be used to guide public health response. County will partner in this community surveillance with the Napa Solano Yolo Marin Public Health Lab (NSYMPHL) and Dignity Health – Woodland Healthcare Clinic. The goal is to test high volumes (50 residents/week) of community members that represent a diverse cross section of Yolo County’s population and roll up these efforts as part of the state’s long-term surveillance program. This program will begin Summer 2020 and has a 6-month duration. |
