LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Lake County Public Health released new COVID-19 case demographics this week with additional specifics related to age and communities of residence.
The latest weekly demographics were released on Monday afternoon.
This new data is based on the 151 cases reported on Monday. On Tuesday, Lake County’s case count rose to 156.
Last week’s demographics, released on July 14 when there were 122 cases, were the first to show that more cases have been confirmed in females than in males, a trend opposite – until recently – to state numbers. Previous to that, the gender patterns in local cases had followed the state’s.
This week, the number of cases in females continued to outpace males, growing from 62 to 80, while cases involving males grew from 60 to 71.
Cases by source continue to be led by close contacts to a known case, 72, an increase of eight cases over the previous week, while 51 cases are reported as “under investigation,” an increase of 21 cases in that category from the previous report.
Other case sources, unchanged in numbers from last week, are those connected to an out of county contact, 17; five from a source said to be other/unknown; four that are from presumed occupational contacts; and two from a congregate living situation, with officials having previously confirmed those cases were in the Lake County Jail.
This week, Lake County Public Health offered more detailed breakdowns of cases by age.
The 25 to 34 age range has the most cases, with 35; followed by age 35 to 44, 26 cases; age 13 to 24, 25 cases; age 45 to 54, 20 cases; age 55 to 64, 18 cases; birth to age 12, 14 cases; and 65 and older, 13 cases.
Another change to the information offered by Public Health this week is a breakdown by zip code within the five supervisorial districts.
Within the supervisorial districts, 50 cases are reported in District 2, which primarily covers Clearlake, an increase of eight cases; 31 in District 3, which covers the Northshore, up by three over the previous week; District 4, covering the greater Lakeport area, has 28 cases, up by seven; District 5, the Kelseyville, Loch Lomond and Cobb areas, has 27 cases, an increase of four; and District 1, covering Middletown and the south county along with portions of Clearlake, has 15, up by seven.
With regard to communities where cases have been confirmed, the new information shows the following breakdowns by zip code:
– 95422, Clearlake: 50;
– 95453, Lakeport: 28;
– 95451, Kelseyville: 22;
– 95423, Clearlake Oaks: 11;
– 95457, Lower Lake: 9;
– 95458, Lucerne: 8;
– 95485, Upper Lake: 8;
– 95467, Hidden Valley Lake, 6;
– 95426, Cobb: 4;
– 95464, Nice: 4;
One of the cases reported was not assigned to a zip code and labeled “unknown.”
Public Health said the next set of data will be released on Monday, July 27.
