Tehama County Reopening Plan

(including the City of Corning) The County Variance Plan was approved on Wednesday, May 13th. You can find the plan here. The plan allows the County and the City of Corning to more quickly move through Phase 2. Only those businesses approved to reopen as part of the plan will be given their certificates. Business sectors approved to reopen can be found on the Tehama County Public Health website. Businesses with approved Reopening Plans will receive a certificate to place in their window.

Businesses that have not already done so should immediately submit their Reopening Plans here.

Sectoral Industry Guidelines are provided by California Department of Public Health.



As a word of caution, it is incredibly important businesses and residents follow social distancing, wear personal protective equipment as appropriate and advised by the CDC, and partake in proper disinfection and hygiene. We all need to do our part so that our Reopen Tehama County Plan can continue to move forward. Moving too quickly through the reopening process can cause a major setback and could require us to revert back to more restrictive measures. Let’s prove we can reopen safely!

COVID-19 Testing Tehama County Public Health urges asymptomatic people to be tested regularly in order to allow better contact tracing. Contact tracing is critical in slowing the spread of the virus allowing more industries to open and remain open. The OptumServe community testing site is accepting underinsured, uninsured, undocumented and homeless individuals. Visit https://lhi.care/covidtesting and make an appointment to get tested. There are no copays or costs to you.

CVS Pharmacy in Chico is also offering FREE COVID-19 drive-thru testing (supervised self-testing). Online registration is required before getting tested: www.cvs.com/minuteclinic/covid-19-testing.

Business Assistance The CARES Act is providing numerous programs to help assist businesses during this difficult time. Businesses should visit www.sba.gov or visit their local financial institution (bank). Financial institutions will be distributing the funds through a few different programs. Most programs (even if they are called loans) have a certain portion of funds that do not have to be repaid.
