Tuolumne County Public Health
Sonora, CA – Tuolumne County Public Health reports five new Tuolumne County residents have been identified today with coronavirus. Three of the five have been recovered and two are in isolation. The delay in data reporting with the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) is affecting local health department reporting and case research. Tuolumne County Public Health has been informed by the state that they have been working on the issues and they expect a resolution by the end of next week. Public health officials say if the problem is corrected, the number of test results may seem to spike, but samples will contain ‘days’ or even weeks in advance due to the ‘capture’ reporting system. Tuolumne County Public Health says: “We will provide the most accurate data available to us as we are informed, and we would like to thank the public in advance for your patience as we work with the state to reconcile all overdue data. “
Tuolumne Public Health asks, “If you are a Tuolumne County resident and have received a positive COVID-19 test result, and you have not heard of Public Health, please isolate yourself and call us directly at (209) 533- 7440. ”They also recommend visiting www.valleycovidhelp.com for more information.
