Plumas Public Health reports 195 COVID cases in past 7 days

While jurisdictions across California are seeing a dip in positive COVID cases, that isn’t the case in Plumas County. According to the most recent data posted by the Plumas County Public Health Agency, the county has a total of 2,517 reported COVID cases, with 195 additional cases in the past seven days. The test positivity rate is now 18.5 percent, which doesn’t account for at-home tests or for those who aren’t getting a test.

As reported yesterday, there are long waits to receive a PCR test, and the at-home tests remain in short supply. The 3,000 that Public Health hoped to receive this week have been delayed until Jan. 26.
