COVID REPORT: Four New Cases Confirmed Today, Joint Information Center Says; County Alert Level Lowered to ‘Moderate Risk’


Press release from the Humboldt County Joint Information Center:

The number of confirmed COVID-19 cases now stands at 368, after four additional cases were reported today.

The Alert Level Assessment Tool has been lowered to level two. This reflects both a small decline in Humboldt County’s case rate per 100,000 and an improvement in the percentage of cases due to community transmission.

Humboldt County Health Officer Dr. Teresa Frankovich said, “The commitment of residents in our community to prevention measures and the dedication of our contact investigation teams have helped move us into a lower alert level which is really good news for everyone. If we all continue to work together, we can help to decrease transmission and keep our friends and neighbors safer.”
