Charting COVID in Plumas through the end of 2020

As of Dec. 31, there had been 468 confirmed cases of coronavirus in Plumas County and four deaths. As of that day, 42 cases were active. Lake Almanor resident Dale Knutsen charted those cases providing a quick glimpse of how the cases rose sharply in the final weeks of 2020.

As the year came to a close, the Plumas County Public Health Agency announcedthat there were 12 confirmed coronavirus cases Dec. 31 including cases at the county correctional facility. Plumas News is attempting to get more information about the cases and what is being done to protect both the inmates and the jail staff.

Since there has been no reporting since Dec. 31, it’s anticipated that the Jan. 4 case count could be higher than a typical Monday. The next few weeks will be critical as the fallout from the Christmas/New Year’s holidays is revealed.

Below are the charts as produced by Knutsen:
