County Returns to “PURPLE” as new cases surge.<\/p>\n

On Monday California Governor Gavin Newsom announced El Dorado County, and 27 other counties, have been moved back into the most restrictive stage to Prevent the Spread of COVID-19. \u00a0This brings the total of counties in California in the purple tier to 40.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are sounding the alarm,\u201d said Governor Newsom. \u201cCalifornia is experiencing the fastest increase in cases we have seen yet \u2013 faster than what we experienced at the outset of the pandemic or even this summer. The spread of COVID-19, if left unchecked, could quickly overwhelm our health care system and lead to catastrophic outcomes. That is why we are pulling an emergency brake in the Blueprint for a Safer Economy. Now is the time to do all we can \u2013 government at all levels and Californians across the state \u2013 to flatten the curve again as we have done before.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe data we are seeing is very concerning. We are in the midst of a surge, and time is of the essence. Every day matters and every decision matters,\u201d said California Health and Human Services Secretary Dr. Mark Ghaly. \u201cPersonal decisions are critical, and I am I imploring every Californian to stay home if they can, wear a mask whenever they leave their homes, limit mixing, practice physical distancing and wash their hands.\u201d<\/p>\n

With nearly 20% of El Dorado County Residents tested Carla B.Hass, Director of County Communications & Outreach, reports a 3.7% positivity rate of those tested.<\/p>\n
