As of noon Saturday, Alpine County has been assigned by the California Department of Public Health to the Red Tier in the state’s Blueprint for a Safer Economy. This move is based on statistical data which includes:
– Test Positivity (7-day average with a 4-day lag) – 5.8 percent
– Total new cases (7-day total with a 4-day lag) – 6
Being the smallest county in the state with about 1,200 residents, their increasing case load has concerned Public Health Officer, Dr. Richard Johnson.
