SACRAMENTO (CBS13) — There are now 1,283 confirmed cases of coronavirus in California, according to Johns Hopkins University.
As the virus continues to spread, several local counties — Sacramento, Placer, Solano, and Yolo — are focusing on reducing the risk to vulnerable populations. This marks a shift from containment of COVID-19 to mitigation.
While the Center for Disease Control and the California Department of Public Health recommends guidelines for local health departments, it's up to each local jurisdiction to provide their own "risk management" for residents.
Currently, Sacramento County has the most cases in the region with 53 infected patients, and the county now has a total of 3 COVID-19 deaths.
