LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – On Tuesday, the Public Health officer reported that the 11th case of COVID-19 in a Lake County resident has been confirmed.
Public Health Officer Dr. Gary Pace said the case was identified through one of the clinics.
He said the individual is stable at home and has been isolating, so it appears that it is unlikely that there has been much community contact.
“We are doing contact tracing now,” Pace said.
This is the third case of COVID-19 confirmed this week, as Lake County News has reported. The two cases reported earlier this week were connected to a church service in Redwood Valley in neighboring Mendocino County.
The news comes on the same day that Pace said he intended to apply to the state for a variance to move more quickly through the reopening stages under the governor’s Roadmap to Recovery.
Based on reports from Public Health departments in counties across the state on Tuesday evening, there are more than 82,000 COVID-19 cases and more than 3,400 deaths.
