The Humboldt County Public Health Laboratory’s test run for Monday, April 20, started late in the day and will not be completed in time for a report tonight.
Tonight’s test numbers will instead be included in Tuesday’s COVID-19 case report. Commercial laboratories reported a total of 12 tests run with no positive cases. The current total number of confirmed cases remains 52.
Humboldt County Public Health is now able to report six days a week the total number of county residents who have recovered from COVID-19. Of the 52 confirmed cases, a total of 47 have recovered.
The total number of recovered cases represents the number of people with confirmed cases who are no longer in isolation. That means these individuals have met Centers for Disease Control and Prevention criteria for release, including absence of fever for at least three days without use of fever-reducing medicine, improvement in symptoms and have had seven days or more since onset of symptoms.
The following information is based on the most recent data available for all confirmed cases:
• Contact to a Known Case: 23
• Travel-Acquired: 20
• Community Transmission: 8
• Under Investigation: 1
Total new positive cases confirmed on April 20: 0
