Humboldt County Joint Information Center press release:
A total of 3,219 Humboldt County residents tested positive for COVID-19 after nine new cases were reported today.
Humboldt County Public Health continues to expand COVID-19 vaccination clinics as vaccine delivery allows. To prepare for an anticipated increase in vaccine allocation and assist in planning future mass vaccination efforts, Public Health vaccinated 1,000 county residents in about eight hours at a single clinic last week. This week, public health and local health partners are expected to administer 2,300 doses in five large clinics, in addition to doses administered directly by approved local vaccinators to their patients.
The California Department of Public Health reported today that Humboldt County has accumulated a week of metrics to move to a more restrictive level under the state’s “Project for a Safer Economy”, with a positivity rate of 3.0% and an adjusted case rate of 8.2 per 100,000 residents. This means that if local virus data does not improve, the county can be reassigned to the “Purple” or Expanded level as early as next week. Health officials urge residents to limit the spread of COVID-19, committing themselves again to preventive measures, adding that these measures support companies that remain open and protect the health of the community.
