Six additional cases of COVID 19 reported today

A total of 403 county residents have tested positive for COVID-19, after six additional cases were reported today.

Testing for COVID-19 continues to be a valuable public health tool, according to Humboldt County Health Officer Dr. Teresa Frankovich. “We continue to urge residents of our community without symptoms to utilize the Optum site in Eureka for screening,” she said. “The more cases we know about, the more we can limit spread of this virus, and Optum turnaround times have improved markedly. Many people are getting results in three to four days.”
