News Release
Lane County Public Health Sees a Total of 228 Positive COVID-19 Cases - 07/06/20

Lane County Public Health (LCPH) was notified of 48 additional positive test results for COVID-19 over the holiday weekend For a total of 228 cases* 
 

*Note that this includes confirmed and presumptive. 

Of our cases (confirmed and presumptive): 

Hospitalized: 0   

                                                                          

Deaths: 3

 

Infectious: 61. This is our new sick at home/vs recovered measure. 

 

 

At least 26,013 negative tests (total individuals tested by result)

 

*We are now inquiring about attendance at large gatherings as part of our disease investigations and will make that information publicly available. To date, none of our confirmed cases have attended large gatherings such as protests, or rallies. We believe that the majority of our new points of transmission are from house parties predominantly associated with end of school year celebrations.

* Presumptive cases are people without a positive PCR test who have COVID-19-like symptoms and had close contact with a confirmed case. Though not confirmed by a positive diagnostic test, presumptive cases have a high likelihood of having COVID-19 because of the specific nature of the symptoms and known exposure.
