Weekly cases increased a little from week 7, but nothing significant to be worried about at this point. Our PCR percent positive continued to decrease. PCR testing overall has been lower than usual. We generally averaged around 3000-4000 total PCR tests per week, but the past few weeks we have been much closer to 1500-2000. And for the first time have NO red this week on our color chart!
