What the California layer means
The California marker means official California hantavirus surveillance and prevention resources are available. It does not mean the site is publishing a live California case layer.
County of exposure is useful epidemiologic context, but it is not the same as exact household or recreation-site risk.
Workplace and recreation context
CDPH occupational health guidance highlights people whose work can disturb rodent-contaminated enclosed spaces.
For site-specific workplace concerns, follow employer safety procedures and contact public health or occupational safety authorities.
