For Immediate Release
December 3, 2020
Media Statement:
Public Health Not Swayed by Protest – Science and Data Continue to
Lead Decision Making
BUTTE COUNTY, CA – Butte County Public Health (BCPH) has been made aware of a scheduled
rd
peaceful protest on Thursday, December 3 at the Chico Public Health Clinic, located at 695
Oleander Avenue, starting at 11:45 am. BCPH supports the right to protest peacefully and
recommend that all who attend wear a mask, keep their distance from each other and do not come
if they are ill or have symptoms of COVID-19.
The frustration and fatigue that our community is feeling after nearly a year of COVID restrictions is
understandable – these are very challenging times and BCPH feels these impacts too. However,
COVID fatigue does not mean that we can let our guard down - BCPH will continue to be led by
science and data as they work to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in Butte County.
As cases continue to increase and our hospitals become more impacted by COVID, the entire
community needs to work together to bring down our case rate and level the curve so we can move
back to a less restrictive tier. This means following all state orders and taking individual action to
prevent COVID.
BCPH will continue to follow all state issued mandates, orders and guidance to protect the public’s
health, our healthcare system, our workforce and to save lives.
