COVID-19 case update for Lake Tahoe area counties

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - El Dorado County health officials say another two residents have tested positive for COVID-19 since yesterday. Of those, one is in El Dorado Hills, one in Pollock Pines/Camino/Kyburz, one in Greater Placerville, and none in the Lake Tahoe region. There is a -1 case from Diamond Springs/El Dorado due to a misclassification of a previous case. Both areas with today's cases have seen an increase in visitors due to Apple Hill activities.

One of those new cases 1 is under the age of 18, 1 aged 18-49, - 1 aged 50-64, and 1 aged 65 or older.

Another 315 people were tested for the coronavirus and 313 negative tests results were received.

There have been another 9 assumed recoveries with 86 assumed active cases.

There are currently no COVID-19 ICU patients at Marshall or Barton hospitals, and no suspected cases in the ICU.

El Dorado County is in the orange/moderate tier of reopening. To move to the next tier, the yellow/minimal tier, the average daily rate of new cases needs to be less than one per 100,000 residents, and positivity rate of less than two percent for the previous two weeks. This cannot be done until being in the orange tier for three weeks at a minimum, which means there is a re-evaluation on November 3.

The County dashboard shows cases by episode date, not by the date El Dorado County Public Health was notified about the new case. Episode date is the earliest of the following dates: (symptom onset date, diagnosis date, specimen collection date, date received, or date of death) and serves as the best approximation of the date of infection.

The 7-day positivity rate for El Dorado County is 1.0 percent positivity (specimens collected Oct. 9-15), and the 14-day rate of new cases is 41 (-1).

The Lake Tahoe region of the county has moved back into the Moderate Tier and no area is currently in the High Tier. El Dorado Hills, Shingle Springs/Cameron Park/Rescue, and El Dorado/Diamond Springs are in the Moderate Tier (case rate per 100,000 population over the previous 14 days of 26-99). Pollock Pines/Camino/Kyburz has moved up to this tier, leaving South County, North County, and Placerville in the low range (25 or less per 100,000 for last 14 days).

County-wide there have been 1,308 cases with 513 of those in the Lake Tahoe area (including South Lake Tahoe, Meyers, Strawberry, and Tahoma).
