- The number of new cases today raises our county’s 14-day case rate to 105.06 / 100k (105 cases per 100,000 residents), continuing to exceed the 100 / 100k mark, which is one of the metrics for the monitoring program county data center. There is a delay in state reporting, so we are not going to appear on the state list right away and no action will be taken until we are officially on the list and have gone through the process established with the state. To the state reporting system for 3 consecutive days, we will be added to the state’s ‘watch list’. Other metrics for the watch list are the number of COVID hospitalizations, the availability of ICU and regular hospital beds, and the case positivity rate. When a county is on the watchlist for 3 consecutive days, it must implement more restrictive closings and mitigation measures as determined by the state, including schools that start the year with distance learning only.
