The City of Rancho Cordova's response to the COVID-19 pandemic has been focused on helping residents and businesses navigate this unprecedented time. One of the strategies the city used was hosting two drive-through distributions to provide thousands of face coverings to Rancho Cordova businesses to help keep their employees and customers safe and healthy, which received positive feedback from the business community. By partnering with local businesses, the city was able to expand on this distribution to support its residents. As cities in Sacramento County partner to Turn Sacramento Orange by Halloween, this effort is one step towards continuing to help to stop the spread of COVID-19.
