COVID-19 case update for Lake Tahoe area counties

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

One of those new cases, six are aged 18-49, one are aged 50-64, and one 65 or older.

Another 178 people were tested for the coronavirus and 170 negative tests results were received.

There have been another seven assumed recoveries with 121 assumed active cases.

There is currently one COVID-19 ICU patient 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 2.0 percent positivity (specimens collected Oct. 17-23) and the 14-day rate of new cases is 58 (+4) (these figures do not include today's data).

El Dorado Hills has moved back into the Moderate Tier. The Lake Tahoe region of the county, El Dorado/Diamond Springs are also in the Moderate Tier with Pollock Pines/Camino/Kyburz. New to that tier today are Shingle Springs/Cameron Park/Rescue and Greater Placerville (case rate per 100,000 population over the previous 14 days of 26-99). South County and North County are in the low tier (25 or less per 100,000 for last 14 days).
