Coronavirus Information

Thank you, Tustin, for doing your part to help flatten the curve and limit the spread of the novel coronavirus in our community and beyond. 

Following orders in place by our public health officials and the Governor may feel difficult, but we are all in this together. Everyone's sacrifice makes a tremendous impact to ensure our health systems are not overwhelmed, and more importantly, our most vulnerable residents are protected. 

 What You Can Do

Please continue to follow all public orders in place. Stay at home except for a quick walk for exercise, travel to an essential job, or a trip for food, gas or prescriptions. Always keep a six-foot distance from people when you're outside of your home. Share information about social distancing with friends, family and neighbors. 

Governor Newsom has launched the "Stay Home, Save Lives, Check In" campaign urging all Californians to check in on all vulnerable neighbors with a call, text,or physically distanced door knock. 

The OC Health Care Officer has issued a recommendation strongly encouraging all residents engaged in essential activities outside of the home and all employees at essential businesses to wear face covering: OC Health Officer Recommends Face Coverings

If you know of a senior who is in need of assistance or access to food and other necessities, please contact the County's Office on Aging Department at (800) 510-2020.

Healthy individuals can still donate blood to the American Red Cross even though we have received shelter in place orders. Check their website for your nearest donation location: American Red Cross.

The County of Orange has activated its virtual Emergency Volunteer Center managed by OneOC. OneOC has developed a Nonprofit Support Network to provide opportunities for peer support, resource sharing and matches volunteers with organizations in need: OneOC.

The Tustin Community Foundation (TCF) understands that the COVID-19 emergency is having a significant effect on our community. TCF  coordinates community resources to create positive change and support the area’s actual and most pressing needs: TCF.

What the City is Doing 

Your health and safety is our top priority. City staff is working around-the-clock to ensure residents have the information they need to stay healthy and safe. We have activated our emergency operations plans, which have been developed and practiced to prepare us to respond to a large-scale crisis like this one. 

 How to Stay Informed

There are several ways to stay up-to-date on the latest COVID-19 information, including checking this web page daily, signing up for our social media platforms such as Next Door and Facebook, and registering for opt-in text messaging with Nixle for Tustin PD and with  the County of Orange by texting OCCOVID19 to 888777. 

Even though we are separated now, we are not alone. We will get through this together. 

Be Well, Tustin. 

Sincerely, 

Mayor Dr. Allan Bernstein
