I wanted to provide you with some general update information as we go into the Thanksgiving
Holiday:
Case numbers continue to increase in Butte County
Hospitalizations of Non-ICU COVID patients has also increased – but not at surge capacity
level at this time
Public Health staff is responding to numerous organizations and sectors suffering a number
of cases (some considered official outbreaks, other not true outbreaks)
o Currently none have resulted in unidentified public exposures as close contacts, so no
notifications to the public
o No schools have reached the threshold of number of cases where they need to close
Case Investigators (CIs) and Contact Tracers (CTs) will be off work on Thursday and Friday
for the Thanksgiving Holiday so the dashboard will not be updated on these days – there are
still staff on call and will respond to any major issues
o CIs and CTs will be back at it on Saturday morning and staff will TRY to update the
dashboard that afternoon so there is not a four day lag in reporting.
The State should update Tier status sometime this week but not yet sure if it will be the
regular time on Tuesday – we will remain in Purple
Back to regular schedule on Monday
Sincerely,
Danette York
