Nevada County’s recent increase in COVID-19 cases comes amid an increase in cases across the state, said county Director of Public Health Jill Blake.
Through Thursday, 101 new cases of COVID-19 have been reported this week, according to the county’s Coronavirus Dashboard
, starting the week off with 60 new cases reported Monday. According to the dashboard, 59 new cases were reported last week.
While past weeks have seen a spike in reported new cases early in the week due to pauses for weekends and holidays, as well as other logistical aspects involved in recording cases, Monday represented the highest number of new cases reported in a single day since early February.
