Important COVID-19 updates and information on what to do to protect yourself, your family, and the community.
One of the strengths of the Davis community is our ability to come together to support our community and one another. We see it every day.
We know that returning to regular city activities and reintegrating UC Davis students back into the community requires collaboration and detailed planning and support from the entire community – people who live or work in Davis, city and county government, business and health care leaders, civic and faith-based organizations, and UC Davis students, faculty members, and staff members all working together.
We’re all doing our part to be cautious and intentional about what we do, who we see, and where we go. And we need to keep following public health guidance a little while longer until enough people have been vaccinated to stop the spread of the virus.
Healthy Davis Together is a joint project between the City of Davis and UC Davis with a goal to facilitate a coordinated and gradual return while preventing the spread of COVID-19 in the Davis community.
Healthy Davis Together brings together epidemiology and health promotion both in the city and on campus. We are optimistic that the combined efforts of the City of Davis, UC Davis, and each one of us will make a difference in preventing the spread of COVID-19 in our town. Together, we can keep the Davis community healthy.
