With the new State Public Health Order issued to slow the spread of COVID-19, here is what you need to know to stay healthy and safe.

For the health and well-being of residents and to comply with the State’s latest order, the Casta del Sol Golf Course is closed until further notice.

The closure follows the latest State Public Health Order that aims to protect the health of all Californians by establishing consistency across the state to slow the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19). The course will remain closed until the State order is lifted.

Governor Gavin Newsom’s office released a new one-stop website for coronavirus (COVID-19) resources.  The website features information including unemployment and paid sick leave along with small business assistance. 

With the economic impacts of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the City of Mission Viejo is encouraging residents to support local eateries now operating under the new health guidelines.  

Many Mission Viejo restaurants are offering food for pick-up, delivery and even curbside service. Residents can do their part to help spare establishments and workers’ jobs during the coronavirus by ordering food, which also ensures social distancing. 

The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is offering low-interest federal disaster loans for working capital to California small businesses – including those in Mission Viejo – suffering substantial economic injury because of the Coronavirus (COVID-19).

In an effort to help residents cope with anxiety associated with the impacts of COVID-19 on our daily lives, the City is providing local mental health referral numbers that can help.

The following numbers can provide direct support to folks in need:

In an effort to protect public health and slow the rate of transmission of COVID-19, the City of Mission Viejo is suspending service of its MV Shuttle until further notice.  The City launched the free shuttle service in 2016 to provide residents with a transportation alternative.
