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 1.4 percent, and the 14-day rate of new cases is 38 (-2). No county regions are in the High Tier (case rate per 100,000 population over the previous 14 days of 100 or greater), South Lake Tahoe and half the county (case rate per 100,000 population over the previous 14 days of 26-99).
