April 2, 2020 NEWS RELEASE: County Releases New Mapping Tool

April 2, 2020

Tulare County Public Health Branch and Tulare County TCiCT are releasing a new mapping tool so that community members can gain a more accurate view into the Tulare County areas that are affected by COVID-19. This tool should be used to enhance knowledge and awareness without leading community members to believe that other areas are more safe or don't need to practice the same social distancing and hand/surface hygiene as other, more affected, areas. Tulare County Public Health strongly maintains that the best way to avoid COVID-19 is to stay home, practice social and physical distancing, and maintain good hand and surface hygiene. Information is to be updated as it becomes available.

Updates continue to be available on our website: www.tchhsa.org.
