The Plumas County Public Health Agency announced that as of this evening, Thursday, June 11, there have been no new cases reported and all previously confirmed cases have recovered. To date there have been 934 COVID-19 tests conducted (108 during the mass testing at the fairgrounds today), with 861 testing negative, and 69 tests pending, with four confirmed cases of the virus, all of whom have recovered. Public Health considers an individual recovered when he or she has finished quarantine and is no longer showing signs or symptoms of the virus.
A note from Public Health: 108 people were tested during the mass testing event 6/10/20. NOT ALL INFORMATION FROM THE 108 PEOPLE TESTED HAS BEEN ENTERED INTO OUR SYSTEM YET, THEREFORE, THE COUNT FROM YESTERDAY (6/10) WAS INCORRECT AND HAS GONE DOWN. AS INFORMATION IS UPDATED, THE NUMBERS WILL INCREASE AGAIN. We were too quick to add yesterday’s mass testing numbers and apologize for any confusion this may cause.
