Lake County Public Health issues updated COVID-19 demographics
The new demographics report uses as its basis the 272 cases reported on Monday. That’s an increase of 32 cases since the previous report was issued on Aug. 10.
Public Health reports several key pieces of data: cases by gender, age range, source, and supervisorial district or zip code.
In cases by source, Public Health has traced 138 of the 272 cases to a close contact to a known case, a category up by 22 cases since last week.
That’s followed by 51 cases that are classified as “under investigation,” three less than last week as they’ve been reclassified to other sources; 40 cases are categorized as “other/unknown,” up by seven; 25 are from out of county contacts, an increase of one; and 10 are presumed community transmission, up three; and six cases are classified as presumed occupational contact, up by two. The category for congregate living situations – specifically, the Lake County Jail, with two cases – had no change since the Aug. 10 report.
In the gender category, most cases in Lake County continue to be reported in females. Of the 272 cases, 146 are in females and 125 are in males. Cases in females are up by 13 and up 18 in males since last week. One case was classified as “other/unknown,” up by one from last week.
The largest number of cases – 58 – is once again reported in the 25 to 34 age group, up by four since last week.
As they did last week, the 13 to 24 and 35 to 44 age groups tied for second place; this week, they are at 47 cases each, up from 40 each last week.
Next is the 45 to 54 age group, 37, up by four; and age 55 to 64, with 32, up by two. Age 65 and above and age birth to 12 are tied at 25 each, up by three and four, respectively. The age for one case is reported as unknown, up by one from last week.
The case breakdown by supervisorial district for the week is as follows:
– District 1, Middletown and the south county along with portions of Clearlake: 40 cases, an increase of eight over the week;
