Calaveras Public Health Reports 7 New Cases of COVID-19 in Calaveras County
San Andreas, CA...On Friday, October 30, 2020, Calaveras Public Health confirmed seven additional cases of COVID-19 in Calaveras County. The cases include one female between 0-17 years of age, one female and two males between 18-49 years of age, one female between 50-64 years of age, and one female and one male over the age of 65. Districts 1 and 2 each have three cases. One case is being reported in District 4. There are no new cases reported in the remaining Districts.
Everyone is at risk for COVID-19 and should take precautions to avoid getting exposed to the virus. Older adults and people with underlying medical conditions are at increased risk for severe illness and death from COVID-19. This means that they may be hospitalized, require a ventilator to help them breathe, or may even be fatal. COVID-19 can be very serious and Calaveras Public Health asks that you follow the safety guidelines.
Calaveras Public Health urges those who would like to get tested for COVID-19 to please do so, especially:
People who have symptoms of COVID-19
People who have had close contact with someone that is confirmed to have COVID-19
People who have been asked or referred to get tested by their healthcare provider
No-cost testing for COVID-19 is available. Starting November 3rd, the OptumServe COVID-19 testing site is moving to Sonora. The site will be located at Mother Lode Fairgrounds, Blake Elliot Building (Creekside), 220 Southgate Drive, Sonora, CA 95370. Days and hours of operation are Tuesday-Saturday from 7:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M. If you would like to be tested for COVID-19 please register online or call (888) 634-1123.
To date, Calaveras Public Health reports a total of 354 confirmed cases of COVID-19. Of those cases, 322 cases have since recovered while 11 cases remain active. There have been a total of 21 confirmed deaths related to COVID-19 reported in Calaveras County.
Calaveras Public Health staff continues to investigate new cases to determine any possible persons who may have had close personal contact with the positive individuals. Close contacts may be contacted by the health department and monitored for signs and symptoms of COVID-19 illness.
Calaveras Public Health urges people to take preventive actions to prevent the spread of COVID-19. The best ways to avoid exposure to COVID-19 are to:
Stay home if you are sick
Stay at least 6 feet away from people outside of your household
Wash your hands often. Use soap and water for at least 20 seconds
Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands
Wear a face covering over your nose and mouth when around others
Symptoms can appear 2-14 days after exposure to the virus. The symptoms of COVID-19 include:
Fever or chills
Cough
Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
Fatigue
Muscle or body aches
Headache
New loss of taste or smell
Sore throat
Congestion or runny nose
Nausea or vomiting
Diarrhea
A person who has tested positive with COVID-19 may not have all or any of these
symptoms. A person who has tested positive but does not have any symptoms is considered asymptomatic and can still pass on the virus to others while they are infectious.
Look for emergency warning signs for COVID-19. If someone is showing signs, seek emergency care immediately:
Trouble breathing
New confusion or weakness
Bluish lips or face
Persistent pain or pressure in the chest
Inability to wake or stay awake
Calaveras County is currently at the minimal risk level (yellow) on the state’s 4-tier COVID-19 system. This means that most indoor operations are open with modifications.
Calaveras Public Health urges caution and encourages people to take the necessary steps to prevent being exposed to the virus and help the county continue to lower its risk level. Visit Blueprint for a Safer Economy to find specific business information and the county’s latest status.
Calaveras Public Health asks the public to be aware of scams. A contact tracer will never ask for your social security number, bank account number, or credit card information. Our contact tracers work for Calaveras Public Health. Contact tracers help contact people who have COVID-19 to track symptoms and make sure to keep our community safe and prevent the spread of COVID-19.
It is likely that flu viruses and the virus that causes COVID-19 will both be spreading this fall and winter. Calaveras Public Health encourages that all people 6 months and older get their yearly flu vaccine. While getting the flu vaccine will not protect against COVID-19, it is shown to reduce the risk of flu illness, hospitalization, and death. Please speak with your local medical provider or pharmacist for flu vaccine.
To receive information and resources related to COVID-19 visit the Calaveras County COVID-19 website.
