A year into the COVID-19 pandemic, Siskiyou County residents continue to see high daily case numbers and positive test rates while people wait their turn to get a vaccine.
While those age groups and occupations deemed most vulnerable to the virus are eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine, supplies and staff to administer shots are limited, public health officials said. That’s slowing down vaccination efforts.
Meanwhile, business restrictions are in place, as are other policies, to reduce spread of the disease.
On Thursday, Siskiyou County’s average daily case rate per 100,000 people was 14.6. It’s average test positivity rate over the past two weeks was 12.3%.

Kids will have a place to quickly ensure their hands are clean at Grenada Elementary School after Shasta Cascade Health Centers donated a sanitation station.
They are also supplying stations to Mt. Shasta Elementary and McCloud Elementary schools.
Shasta Cascade is a non-profit health provider that has served the local community since 2000. They have three clinics in McCloud, Dunsmuir, and Mount Shasta, as well as a dental center in McCloud.
“This donation will help so much, especially in this time of COVID-19,” said fourth grade teacher Sabrina Ellin, who helped with the project. “We have many systems and procedures in place for washing and sanitizing hands to keep our campus as clean and safe as possible. The neat thing about this sanitation station is that it is very light and portable.”
