There have been another 117 assumed recoveries with 1,780 assumed active cases.

There have been an additional 492 negative results received. Negative test disclaimer: Whereas laboratory-confirmed case numbers reflect only El Dorado County residents, negative results may also include some non-El Dorado County residents whose tests were performed within the county. Total negative results include results for individuals who have been tested more than once. This differs from the count of total confirmed cases, as individuals who test positive on multiple occasions are only counted as a single case. For this reason, these two numbers (total confirmed cases and total negative test results) are not comparable and should not be used together to calculate a positivity rate. Only PCR or NAAT tests (tests that detect viral RNA) are included in this estimate of "Total Negative Test Results". Antigen tests and antibody (serology) tests are not included in this estimate.

There are currently 26 COVID-19 patients hospitalized with 9 of them in the ICU at Barton and Marshall. According to the State's website, 9 of the non-ICU patients and 4 of the ICU patients are in Barton, with 17/5 at Marshall. There are no suspected cases at either hospital.
