Mendocino County has four confirmed cases of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). Based on investigations done by Public Health, it appears that all four cases in Mendocino County are travel-related and do not appear to indicate community spread. None of the confirmed cases require hospitalization and all individuals have been able to safely isolate at home. Of the four positive cases, one has recovered fully and three are in active public health monitoring and following Centers for Disease Control and Prevention home isolation guidance. The Healthcare facilities where each case was identified used proper Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and handled the cases in a manner that protected their healthcare workers, staff and patients from exposure. Below is additional information the County can release regarding the confirmed cases without comprising their privacy rights. Public Health thanks our Health Care Partners, including hospitals and clinics, who are carefully screening, COVID-19 testing, and caring for patients in our community in the midst of this pandemic—as shown by the 137 commercial COVID-19 tests completed in the chart below.
