• We are sorry to have to report three deaths today. They are two women in their 60s and a man in his 70s.
• Contact tracing helps stop the spread of COVID-19, and because we have such a large number of cases in Shasta County, we are relying on people who test positive to help notify their close contacts. In Shasta County, you may get a call or text from a 916 area code. The text will include a link to a website that begins “caconnected.cdph.ca.gov,” which leads to a questionnaire that helps with the contact tracing process. If you receive a text and aren’t sure if it’s legitimate, call (530) 225-5591 and say you are returning a call or text from a contact tracer.
• An estimate of active cases is made based on a general case remaining active for a 10-day period. This number is only an estimate and the count of active cases in the community may be larger. A case may be active for a period longer than 10 days if the individual continues to exhibit symptoms of COVID-19.
• Please continue to stay at home as much as possible, and when you must leave home, wear your face covering, keep your distance and wash your hands frequently. We anticipate another increase in cases within the next couple of weeks from Thanksgiving activities, and limiting your contact with others as much as possible can help slow the spread.
