The Marin County COVID-19 Status Update is three times per week and as needed to share important news and resources related to the COVID-19 pandemic and to keep the local economy running. We remain here for you.
More Changes for COVID-Related Rental Assistance
Through February, the County of Marin had assisted 1,335 unique households by channeling federal and state funds into the hands of local tenants on the verge of eviction because of the COVID-19 pandemic and to landlords who experienced sudden income losses. In total, the County has paid out $21,549,174 in pandemic rental assistance.
Now, emergency aid will be distributed faster as the County increases staffing and improves the review process. It is adopting a software platform used by the State of California to distribute the remaining rental relief funds. On March 8, the Board of Supervisors approved agreements with two companies to assist with distribution of rental allocations in an efficient and compliant manner.

Maxine Gilbert, MMRC Volunteer of Year
The collective effort by countless organizations and volunteers from our community has served as a pillar of Marin’s pandemic response. One such organization is the Marin Medical Reserve Corps (MMRC). This team of volunteers deployed when the shelter-in-place began and have worked countless hours in support of Marin County Public Health (MCPH) at both testing and vaccination clinics. In a time when staffing has been of critical importance, MMRC collaborated with MCPH by bringing experienced healthcare professionals to the field.
Community members who have volunteered for the Marin Medical Reserve Corps have served our county in a selfless manner, and Maxine Gilbert is no exception. Maxine is being celebrated as the 2021 MMRC Volunteer of the Year and has been awarded this honor to acknowledge her dedication to her team, the community, and the COVID-19 response. She joined MMRC a month into the pandemic as a volunteer EMT and since then, she has volunteered more than 150 shifts and logged over 600 hours with testing and vaccination teams. We send our gratitude to the Marin Medical Reserve Corps for their hard work and to Maxine in recognition of her inspirational service!
Think Positive, Test Negative
Are you experiencing any COVID-19 related symptoms? If you have symptoms, get tested even if you’re fully vaccinated. It’s an easy step to take, and by finding out if you’re positive, you help others test negative.
Alternatively, are you a close contact of someone who is COVID positive? Slow the spread by following Isolation and Quarantine guidance and getting a COVID-19 test 5 days after your exposure. Testing is a valuable resource to help limit the spread of the virus in our community and protect the ones you love.
