[County of El Dorado @CountyElDorado]

Unless you normally seek ER care for an illness, don't go there now unless it's an emergency. Mild #COVID19 symptoms aren't an emergency. Contact your regular medical provider to discuss if a test is needed. #NotEveryoneNeedsToBeTested #RespectTheTestingProcess

[County of El Dorado @CountyElDorado]

We're hearing that some have plans to go to #LakeTahoe for a change of pace/scenery/etc. Doing so isn't in keeping with the Gov's order or #ElDoradoCountyCA's directive to stay home except for essential activities. Tahoe IS exceptional, but a visit there now ISN'T advised.

#EDSO Deputies and SAR volunteers responded tonight to rescue a pair of hikers who were stranded by a quickly rising creek. Remember that all waterways in the county are running fast and deep right now and can fluctuate in moments #RESCUE #turnarounddontdrown #SAR #nightwatch

[CHP Headquarters @CHP_HQ]

Sadly, there have been 741 DUI arrests by CHP in the first 30 hours of the #MemorialDay2019 MEP. There’s no excuse for driving impaired. Stay Put. Call a cab or ride share co. Arrange for a sober driver in advance. Stop putting your life and the lives of innocent people at risk.
