A Message from the Health Department

One of the most important ways we have to combat the spread of illness like coronavirus is through education and information from reliable sources. It’s vital that we provide science-based details about how the illness is spread, as well as updates on what health officials are doing to protect the health of residents of Riverside County.

This webpage was created to provide you with information about our preparedness activities and the latest news and updates about coronavirus and related issues from reputable sources like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). We understand there is anxiety during uncertain times, but RUHS – PH wants you to know we are working to protect the community’s health.

Sincerely,

Riverside University Health System – Public Health.
