There have been another 245 assumed recoveries with 1,825 assumed active cases.

There have been an additional 3864 negative results received. Negative test disclaimer: Whereas laboratory-confirmed case numbers reflect only El Dorado County residents, negative results may also include some non-El Dorado County residents whose tests were performed within the county. Total negative results include results for individuals who have been tested more than once. This differs from the count of total confirmed cases, as individuals who test positive on multiple occasions are only counted as a single case. For this reason, these two numbers (total confirmed cases and total negative test results) are not comparable and should not be used together to calculate a positivity rate. Only PCR or NAAT tests (tests that detect viral RNA) are included in this estimate of "Total Negative Test Results". Antigen tests and antibody (serology) tests are not included in this estimate.

There are currently 46 COVID-19 patients hospitalized with 8 of them in the ICU at Barton and Marshall. According to the State's website, 10 of the non-ICU patients and 2 of the ICU patients are in Barton, with 36/6 at Marshall. There are no suspected cases at either hospital. Also according to the State website, Barton has 4 available ICU beds, Marshall 4, but as previously shared before, each hospital can expand their capacity depending on staff and other variables. El Dorado County is part of the Sacramento Region. As a region there is 9.7 percent ICU bed availability. The four-week projection of availability does not meet criteria to exit the latest stay-at-home order.

There have been no additional deaths, the total for El Dorado County residents dying from COVID-19 is 33.

The county moved into the purple tier November 17 and started the Stay-at-Home order December 10. It is in place until the ICU occupancy level for the Sacramento Region has an outlook of over 15 percent for four weeks.
