COVID-19 General Questions
-
Do I still need to wear a mask?
The County of San Diego follows the same masking requirements as the state. Mask wearing may be an especially good precaution for anyone who has a weakened immune system, is at higher risk for getting very sick from respiratory illnesses, has a history of breathing/lung issues, or has environmental exposures.

What about resources specifically for undocumented people?
Documentation status does not matter from the perspective of health care access and service. Anyone can be seen by any of our community clinics to get the treatment or care they deserve and are entitled to.
