Whenever Mendocino County Public Health publishes a new COVID-19 infographic, MendoFever will compare and contrast the data with the previous infographic in hopes to shed light on trends associated with the COVID-19 pandemic in Mendocino County.
?Most significant information gained from this evening’s infographic update provided by Mendocino County Public Health:
? 50% of today’s cases are 18 years old or younger.
? 80% of today’s cases originated from close contact with an infected individual.
?Seven more individuals have been added to isolation due to either infection or exposure to an infected individual.
?Analysis of that data represented in today’s infographic with yesterday’s:
??????Demographics: Eight of the new cases are associated with the Hispanic/Latino community and two of the cases are from the “White/Non-Hispanic Category”
??Age Ranges: Three of the new cases is in the “0-5” age range, one new case is from the “6-12”, one case is from the “13-18” age range, four cases are from the “19-34” age range, and one case is from the “35-49” age range,
?? Gender of Infected: Four of the newly infected are men for a total of 103 and six are women for a total of 114.
?Source of Infection: Eight of the new cases are associated with “close contact” and and two are associated with “community spread”.
?Region of Cases: Seven of the new cases are from patients in the Ukiah Valley, one is from the North County, and two are from the North Coast
????Status of Patients: Seven more patients have entered isolation for a total of 87. One patient has left the hospital for a new total of 8. There is currently only one patient in the intensive care unit. There are still three deaths of Mendocino County residents and there is a total of 217 cases. There are a total of 96 active COVID-19 cases.
?Testing: The most significant shift in testing numbers is the commercial labs determining 10 new positive cases. The amount of tests pending is 1,877.
When you talk about “Source of Infection:” “Community Spread.” Could you be more specific, please?!? Does that connote people working together in the same facility or people shopping in a certain store or place of business? It would be helpful to know “WHERE” the “Community Spread” cases are originating! i.e., “restaurant”” ‘grocery store’? ‘public building’? WHERE? Those places need to be avoided until they rectify the reason the virus was in their ‘building.’ THANK YOU!
