Keep Merced's economy open in the Red Tier. How Can You Help? It's easy, follow the steps in the picture. Testing sites are available at www.countyofmerced.com/coronavirus

Based on this week's results, Merced County remains in Tier 2: Substantial (Red Tier). *At a minimum, counties must remain in a tier for at least 3 weeks befo...re moving forward. *Data is reviewed weekly and tiers are updated on Tuesdays. *To move forward, a county must meet the next tier’s criteria for two consecutive weeks. *If a county’s metrics worsen for two consecutive weeks, it will be assigned a more restrictive tier. *To help the County remain in this tier and continue to advance along the State's reopening blueprint, residents need to get tested for COVID-19. Increasing our COVID-19 testing rates is the main way to assist with lowering the overall case rate. Merced County Department of Public Health will post the infographic below every Tuesday to inform the community of our current status. For more information on the tiers, please visit: https://www.co.merced.ca.us/3350/Coronavirus-Disease-2019 ____________________________________________ Según los resultados de esta semana, el Condado de Merced permanece en el Nivel 2: Sustancial (Nivel Rojo). *Como mínimo, los condados deben permanecer en un nivel durante al menos 3 semanas antes de seguir adelante. *Los datos se revisan semanalmente y los niveles se actualizan los martes. *Para avanzar, un condado debe cumplir con los criterios del siguiente nivel durante dos semanas consecutivas. *Si las métricas de un condado empeoran durante dos semanas consecutivas, se le asignará un nivel más restrictivo. *Para ayudar al Condado a permanecer en este nivel y continuar avanzando a lo largo del plan de reapertura del Estado, los residentes deben hacerse la prueba de COVID-19. Aumentar nuestras tasas de prueba de COVID-19 es la forma principal de ayudar a reducir la tasa general de casos. El Departamento de Salud Pública del Condado de Merced publicará la siguiente infografía todos los martes para informar a la comunidad de nuestro estado actual.
