Taking a Moment to Look Back
A Message from Contra Costa County
Health Director, Anna M. Roth
When you’re in the middle of a crisis, you don’t often have time to stop and look around. Planning, coordination and action become the default. Fueled by adrenaline and passion, the days roll into each other with little time to look back on what’s been accomplished.
Yet after three months of concentrated effort responding to the COVID-19 pandemic, it's
important to see what has been done—to take a step back and see where we’ve been, what’s been accomplished and what the road ahead looks like.
When word of the virus and its devastating impact in Wuhan, China, first broke, Contra Costa Health Services took notice. When Travis Air Force Base opened as a quarantine site, we were already making plans. And when the Diamond Princess passengers were evacuated to our region, we were in full swing, putting years of emergency planning and training into action.
