LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Two members of the same household have become the latest confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Lake County.
Public Health Officer Dr. Gary Pace said the 31st case was identified on Thursday and on Friday an individual living in the same household also tested positive, bringing Lake County’s case total to 32.
Pace said both individuals were exposed to a person visiting from out of the county who subsequently tested positive for COVID-19.
“Early contact tracing has not revealed any concerns for additional Lake County cases, but investigations are ongoing,” Pace said.
As of Friday, there are four active confirmed cases in Lake County, and all are stable and on home isolation. The other 28 patients have recovered, Pace said.
So far, approximately 3,302 people have been tested for COVID-19, with the results of 214 tests still pending, according to the Lake County Public Health COVID-19 dashboard.
Information on local testing is available here.
Pace said there remains no evidence of widespread community transmission in Lake County.
“We are now outside of the 14-day period following the Memorial Day holiday, and it is very encouraging that we did not see a surge in cases as a result of increased activity that weekend,” said Pace.
He added, “That is very probably a testimony to people taking individual precautions, including practicing good hygiene and wearing face coverings.”
