vaccination thresholds were met and state tier metrics relaxed as a result.
Find out here what being in the red tier means.
People 16-64 years old with
certain underlying health conditions are now eligible for vaccination through many health care providers and at the Placer County HHS clinic.

Update January 29, 2021: Governor Newsom signed
legislation to extend the state’s landmark eviction moratorium through June 30, 2021.
The legislation pauses evictions for tenants who declare under penalty of perjury an inability to pay all or part of the rent due to a COVID-related reason. Tenants are still responsible for paying unpaid amounts to property owners, but those unpaid amounts cannot be the basis for an eviction, even after the moratorium ends.
The legislation also establishes the State Rental Assistance Program to allocate the $2.6 billion in federal rental assistance California will receive. The program will target aid to income-qualified tenants most at-risk with unpaid back rent. Assistance will also be extended to property owners who agree to waive 20 percent of unpaid rent.
Update January 21, 2021: Placer County HHS Director Dr. Rob Oldham and Placer County Public Health Program Manager Mike Romero gave an update on COVID-19 and vaccinations in Placer County at the January 20 Roseville City Council meeting.

Update August 28, 2020: Governor Newsom released a new COVID-19 response framework called the Blueprint for a Safer Economy.
Placer County Public Health: "Placer's placement into the State's 'purple' tier is due to inclusion of data from early August, when we were still on the former Monitoring List. We expect to have news around movement to the 'red' tier and additional easing of restrictions around Sept. 8 if trends continue in the right direction. However, this transition has created further delay for schools, and we have written to CDPH to express this concern.”
Placer County has also received information from CDPH indicating that schools will be allowed the option to resume in-person instruction on September 1, as they would have after coming off the previous Monitoring List.
