COVID-19 case update for Lake Tahoe area counties

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - El Dorado County health officials say another 15 residents have tested positive for COVID-19 since yesterday. Of those, five are in El Dorado Hills, three in Greater Placerville, -1 in North County, five in Cameron Park/Shingle Springs/Rescue, and three in the Lake Tahoe region.

One of those new case four are aged 18-49, ten are aged 50-64, and one 65 or older.

Another 271 people were tested for the coronavirus and 256 negative tests results were received.

There have been another five assumed recoveries with 168 assumed active cases.

There are currently three COVID-19 patients at Marshall or Barton hospitals with two of those in the ICU, and no suspected cases hospitalized.

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 could have been 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 2.3 percent positivity (specimens from Oct. 21-27) and the 14-day rate of new cases is 75 (+1) (these figures do not include today's data).
