Situation Summary
Effective March 18, 2020, Solano County has issued a countywide Shelter at Home Health Order and Directive to continue protecting the health and safety of our community, clarify directive guidance in accordance with the Governor, and ensure consistent compliance across the County with social distancing and self-isolation measures. These mitigation measures are disruptive, but critical to curb the growing number of cases resulting from community spread, particularly given that most those infected show mild symptoms or no symptoms at all. This is an emerging, rapidly evolving situation and Solano Public Health will provide updated information as it becomes available.

FAIRFIELD — Solano County Superior Courts is seeking an emergency order from the chief justice of the state Supreme Court to allow certain operations and court matters to be delayed due to Covid-19.
The actions would be in place through April 3, a statement released by the court said. The court remains open, but is looking for permission to continue the following matters:
• Civil, family and probate trials.
• Small claims matters.
• Unlawful detainer matters.
• Traffic matters except for trials already scheduled.
• Guardianship and conservatorship matters, with the exception of emergency orders.
• Most family law matters.
• Most criminal trials.
All clerk’s offices are closed to the public. All transactions with the clerk’s offices will be handled via drop box, telephone or through email.
These continuances are intended to reduce the number of jurors, parties and attorneys in the court, consistent with Gov. Gavin Newsom’s executive order dated March 12, the Solano County courts report.
