Description of Program and Relief

Discounted Hotels for Health Care Workers

Governor Gavin Newsom has announced a statewide partnership with various hotels that have opted in to provide discounted rates to health care workers who come in direct contact with or are suspected of having direct contact with COVID-19 patients, or who test positive for COVID-19 but do not require hospitalization.

By providing hotel rooms in close proximity to medical facilities, health care workers can avoid potentially spreading the virus once leaving their shift by selecting to stay in one of the pre-identified hotels across the state.

The State is prioritizing making hotels available for healthcare workers in counties with high population density or with high numbers of COVID-19 positive test results, including: Los Angeles, Santa Clara, Riverside, San Bernardino, Orange, Alameda, Contra Costa, San Francisco, San Diego and Fresno.

Hotels interested in participating should email covid19lodging@dgs.ca.gov.
