Latest Orders

March 24, 2021 Update

Santa Clara County has moved to Orange Tier and will align with the State's framework. As a result, many of the industry/activity specific local directives will be adjusted.

Free COVID-19 Testing

Testing is expanding throughout the County and is free and confidential for everyone. Everyone is encouraged to get tested, even those without symptoms. Anyone can be tested regardless of insurance or immigration status. Testing is one of the five key indicators the County of Santa Clara Public Health Department is using to assess whether and to what extent we can move away from the existing shelter-in-place restrictions that have been required to slow the spread of the virus.

For more information on COVID-19 testing or for more testing locations, visit the County Public Health Testing Webpage.

The County of Santa Clara Public Health Department now has Coronavirus Data Dashboards. The data dashboards include data regarding cases within the County, hospital data, and testing data.
