SLO County Still in Red Tier for Now

SLO county has met the health metrics to stay in the less restrictive Red Tier in the state's Blueprint for a Safer Economy, but COVID-19 case counts continue to fluctuate, with a significant number of those cases originating in the Paso Robles zip code area.

Each Paso Robles resident can help keep our businesses open by following the COVID-19 prevention guidance below.

CDC Holiday Guidelines

As many people in the United States begin to plan for fall and winter holiday celebrations, the CDC offers these considerations to help protect individuals and their families, friends, and communities from COVID-19. These considerations are meant to supplement—not replace—any state, local, territorial, or tribal health and safety laws, rules, and regulations with which holiday gatherings must comply. When planning to host a holiday celebration, the CDC recommends you assess current COVID-19 levels in your community to determine whether to postpone, cancel, or limit the number of attendees.

Childcare Resources

As the pandemic drags on and schools reopen under hybrid models, childcare continues to be a stressor on SLO County families - both financially and logistically. You can find a list of available childcare resources here, and a full range of family resources on the CAPSLO website. If you have been considering opening a childcare operation, there are resources to help you do that here. 

No-Cost COVID-19 Testing in Paso

Due to increased testing capacity, the San Luis Obispo County Public Health Department is encouraging testing for all symptomatic and asymptomatic persons who may have been exposed to COVID-19.

Mask Drive

Calling all crafting and sewing community members: we need your help making cloth face masks for our SLO County neighbors! We’ll distribute them in COVID-19 prevention kits for farm workers, at local food pick-up sites, and to other residents who can’t readily make or purchase their own. Pre-cut kits, graciously donated by Birch Fabrics, are available at the Paso Robles City Library and completed masks can be dropped off at the Paso Robles Police Department at 900 Park Street. Call 805.227.7236 for more info. Mask tutorial here. 

Tenant and Landlord Protections

Eviction moratorium
The statewide freeze on residential evictions has been extended through January 31, 2021. Renters in California who cannot pay their rent because of COVID-19-related hardships should know their rights and responsibilities. 

Mortgage foreclosure protection and relief
Small homeowners have been extended foreclosure protections in a state order passed August 31. Many banks and financial institutions have committed to providing relief for homeowners in California. Find out more about mortgage help and how to get it.

Avoiding utility shut-off
Many utility providers are not shutting off services due to non-payment. Check with the California Public Utilities Commission for more information. The Water Board restricts the shut off of water during the COVID crisis. Please use this form to report any water shutoff or reconnect issue.

COVID-19 Prevention
