City of Rio Vista Proclaims a Local Emergency

Rio Vista, CA – The City of Rio Vista has proclaimed a local emergency in response to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) public health crisis. A local emergency is now in effect. This Proclamation does not signify an increased risk to the residents of Rio Vista. A local proclamation will assist the City with acquiring mutual aid resources, funding, reimbursement, and staffing. 

In light of this proclamation and current social distancing prevention techniques, and with an over abundance of caution for our vulnerable residents, the City of Rio Vista will be modifying access to city services. City buildings will be closed to public access temporarily while City Leaders continue to evaluate the Coronavirus threat. City services will remain fully functional as we address our day-to-day operations and the COVID-19 response.

The health and safety of our residents is the top priority, and prevention is the best way to slow the outbreak. The City has taken multiple steps to reduce the spread of COVID-19 and this is another way to protect our community. Our infrastructure is strong and our staff is dedicated to health and welfare of our citizens.

Additionally, the City of Rio Vista has cancelled the City Council Meeting scheduled for March 17^th. The meeting will be rescheduled for March 24, 2020. The next City Council meeting will be conducted utilizing teleconferencing.

We appreciate everyone’s support and look forward to getting through this together—as a caring, compassionate community.  With your help we will prevent, contain, and mitigate COVID-19.
