CDC Week 34 Epidemiological Analysis: (from JCHD Epidemiologist, Sara Wilton)

This week the county remains in the RED/highest transmission level with a weekly case count of 577 confirmed and probable cases and a positivity rate of 14.2%. We aren’t seeing many changes in our weekly case counts or the positivity rate when comparing the last few weeks. The highest percent increase in cases once again came from the 0-9 year age group.

Case counts in our youth population are double the amount they were at this same time last year. Figure 1 on the 0-19 report shows a visual of the Covid cases by week for the 0-19 year age group. During week 34 of this year (2021) we had 100 cases in the 0-19 group. During week 34 last year (2020), we had 41 cases in the same population.

Our total percentage of vaccinated individuals has increased only slightly from 33.80% in week 33 to 34.47% in week 34. During Week 34, 577 new COVID-19 cases were reported. Of these 577 new cases, 86.3% were unvaccinated.
