Humboldt County Joint Information Center Press Release:
Three new cases of COVID-19 were reported today. The total number of county residents who confirmed contracting the virus is 231.
Of these three cases, two people contracted the virus through contact with a known case, and the means of transmission for the third case are under investigation. A total of 14 cases remain under investigation.
Dr. Teresa Frankovich, Humboldt County Health Officer, noted that since the start of the pandemic, the county has experienced waves of new cases, followed by relatively quiet periods in transmission of the detected virus.
“The epidemiological curve on the data panel shows that the current wave has been ongoing for more than a month,” said Dr. Frankovich. “This increase in local disease activity is a reminder that safety precautions are more important than ever. We have the ability to dramatically change the landscape of virus transmission in our community, helping to keep our businesses open and facilitate on-site school instruction for our children. “
