Thread. The state has adjusted criteria for counties to "move further into Stage 2" of reopening ( http://covid19.ca.gov/roadmap-counties).">https://covid19.ca.gov/roadmap-c... New criterion: < 25 cases per 100,000 residents over 14 days. For Riverside County, that’s < 625 cases or so. (1/3)

#riversidecounty #rivco #covid19

At 1,598 cases over the last 14 days, Riverside County does not meet that goal. An alternate goal is to have a test-positivity rate of < 8% over 7 days. Dividing the number of new cases by the number of new tests reported yields a rate of 6.3% (up from 4.9% a week ago). (2/3)

So Riverside County seems to be meeting the test-positivity goal.
However the other criteria involve COVID-19 hospitalizations, and I don& #39;t have good data on those:

— < 5% average daily change, over 7 days
— < 20 hospitalizations on any day in last 14 days

(3/3)

UPDATE: actually, I do have the daily number of currently-hospitalized patients, so with a little math I would say the average daily change as defined above is 6.1% — too high.
