COVID-19 case update for Lake Tahoe area counties

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - El Dorado County health officials say another 41 residents have tested positive for COVID-19 since Friday. Of those, eight are in El Dorado Hills, seven in Greater Placerville, two in North County, one in Pollock Pines/Camino/ Kyburz, two in Diamond Springs/El Dorado, nine in Cameron Park/Shingle Springs/Rescue, and 12 in the Lake Tahoe region.

Another 842 people were tested for the coronavirus and 801 negative tests results were received.

There have been another nine assumed recoveries with 153 assumed active cases.

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

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 2.4 percent positivity (specimens from Oct. 17-25) and the 14-day rate of new cases is 61 (+3) (these figures do not include today's data).
