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.
The following statement accompanied tonight’s updated dashboard:
13 additional cases of COVID-19 have been identified in Mendocino County, bringing the total to 293. Data has been updated, showing that we now have 223 released from isolation, and 59 currently in isolation.
?Most significant information gained from this evening’s infographic update provided by Mendocino County Public Health:
?The amount of active cases dropped from 148 to 64, a 58% difference with the updated isolation numbers.
?There’s been a 29% increase in positive cases since one week ago.
?”Close contact” was determine to be the source of 14 more cases indicating contact tracing continues.
?Analysis of that data represented in today’s infographic with yesterday’s:

?? Gender of Infected: 140 of the infected are men 153 are women.
?Source of Infection: The “close contact” category has increased by superseding today’s new totals but that could indicate some cases “under investigation” were solved. The “work/out of county travel” category has increased by 2. The “community spread” category has increased by six. The number of cases under investigation have dropped by nine.
?Region of Cases: Nine of today’s cases originate in the “Ukiah Valley”, one originates in “North County”, and three originate on the “North Coast.”
