How to Wear Your Mask Correctly

This video provides instructions on how to correctly wear a variety of  masks, from homemade to N95s. Ensure the bands are wrapped around your  head and are not crossed. One should be placed below your ear and the  other band above your ear. Aim for an airtight seal around the borders  of the mask. Use the metal nose band to pinch around the bridge of your  nose to assist in the baiting an airtight seal is created and the mask  is fitted to your face snuggly.

The importance of washing your hands correctly

Lassen County Public Health and Lassen College Nursing bring you this  kid friendly video displaying the importance of washing your hands  correctly. 

COVID-19 Risk Index

Professor Saskia Popescu, an infectious disease epidemiologist at the University of Arizona, Dr. James P. Phillips, MD, the Chief of Disaster Medicine at GWU Emergency Medicine, and I developed a COVID-19 Risk Index to help you do this, based on four key factors:


1) Enclosed space

2) Duration of interaction

3) Crowds

4) Forceful exhalation   


Again, we hope this Risk Index is helpful to you as you decide what you are comfortable doing as these activities become available. We created this as a public service, so please feel free to tweet, post, e-mail, and print and hang this on your refrigerator or around your workplace.

Quarantine Order - Dr. Korver, Lassen County Health Officer

 Dr. Korver released a Health Officer Order for the Control of COVID-19 using Quarantine on April 7, 2020. 


For Who: Household contacts, intimate partners, caregivers, and close contacts of persons with or likely to have COVID-19


What does it mean to be a "close contact" of a person with or likely to have COVID-19:

1. Were within 6 feet of person who has or is likely to have COVID-19 for more than ten minutes

2. Had unprotected contact with the body fluids and/or secretations (such as being coughed on/sneezed on, shared utensils or salvia or provided care without wearing protective equipment) of a person who has or is likely to have COVID-19


Self-quarantine is necessary because an individual is at high risk for developing and spreading COVID-19 from contact with a person who has: 

1. A positive lab for COVID-19 

2. Signs and symptoms that are consistent with COVID-19 (ex. fever, cough, shortness of breath, or trouble breathing) (or)

3. Been Informed by a physician that they are likely to have COVID-19


A person who is considered to be a close contact of a person with or likely to have COVID-19 are asked to be quarantined in their home or another residence until 14 days from the last date that they were last in contact with the person who has or is likely to have COVID-19.

Quarantine Order

Isolation Order - Dr. Korver, Lassen County Health Officer

 Dr. Korver released a Health Officer Order for the Control of COVID-19 using Isolation on April 7, 2020. 


All Individuals who have been diagnosed with or are likely to have COVID-19 must immediately take the following actions: 

1. Isolate themselves in their home or another residence until

          A. At least 3 days have passes since recovery, defined as resolution of fever without use of 

                fever-reducing medications and improvement of respiratory symptoms (and)

          B. At least 7 days since symptoms first appeared (or)

          C. A negative COVID-19 test

Isolation Order

Guidance for Face Masks - Dr. Korver, Lassen County Health Officer

Dr. Korver releases a Guidance for the General Public for Face Covering on April 7, 2020.


"A Study published by Cambridge University Press, found that both homemade cloth masks and traditional surgical masks significantly reduce the amount of potentially infectious droplets expelled by the wearer, though surgical masks were three times better for preventing transition. "


What this means: 

1. Cloth masks/covering are less effective than medical masks. Their use, even if imperfect is better   

     than nothing at helping limit the spread of the virus.

2. Using a face covering does not mean that is okay to relax social distancing and hand washing 

      measures.

3. Homemade masks/face coverings that are re-used have the potential to hold onto virus and  

     bacteria. If you are using a homemade cloth facemask, wash it frequently with hot water and 

    soap and let it dry completely. 

4. Avoid close contact with people who appear unwell or sick even when wearing a face 

     mask/covering.

5. Businesses should  consider obtaining homemade or cloth masks for their employees as part of  

     their current safety protocol.
