COVID-19 Non-Compliance Reporting Form

A few weeks ago in my Newsletter (#45 on 7/10/20) there was an article regarding businesses that are not following the statewide mandate on masks and physical distancing.

There is now a reporting form on the El Dorado County website. Click HERE for the form.

El Dorado County Office of Education Releases Planning Resources for Reopening Schools

A Message from El Dorado County Superintendent of Schools Dr. Ed Manansala

The El Dorado County Office of Education (EDCOE) and El Dorado County Public Health (EDC Public Health) have been working together with local school districts to prepare for the reopening of schools for 2020-2021. We will continue to work together to leverage resources and share best practices to operationalize public health guidelines for prevention of COVID-19 in the school environment. These recommendations may change as we learn more and as we continue to find new strategies to prevent the spread of infection in our communities.

There is no one-size-fits-all approach to reopening schools across El Dorado County’s 15 districts. Each independent school district will decide how it will reopen schools while working closely with local public health officials and community stakeholders. Implementation should be tailored to the setting of each district and school, including consideration of the unique needs of their students, families, and staff. Information regarding school district plans for the 2020-21 school year will be released by the individual districts.

The information in the document ‘Addressing the Challenges of COVID-19: 2020-21 School Year Planning’ aligns with recommendations from the California Department of Public Health and was developed jointly by EDCOE and EDC Public Health. Reopening schools in these unique times presents a significant challenge, and we are grateful for the collective strength and collaboration of the exceptional educational leaders throughout our county.

Lake Tahoe Fun Facts

The new shoreline program includes enforcement of the 600-foot no-wake zone at Lake Tahoe. The no-wake zone minimizes the noise impacts of motorized watercraft on residents, visitors, and wildlife. Within 600 feet of the shoreline, the speed limit is 5 miles per hour. The no-wake zone includes all of Emerald Bay and creates a 100-foot no-wake zone buffer around swimmers and paddlers and a 200-foot no-wake zone buffer around all piers and buoys.

Answer the Call to Slow the Spread

 In the ongoing efforts to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, Governor Gavin Newsom launched California Connected, the state’s comprehensive contact tracing program and public awareness campaign. As part of California Connected, public health workers from communities across the state will connect with individuals who test positive for COVID-19 and work with them, and people they have been in close contact with, to ensure they have access to confidential testing, as well as medical care and other services to help prevent the spread of the virus.

With more than 600 total COVID-19 cases identified in El  Dorado County, the importance of understanding how people are getting the virus and helping stop the spread of it is key.

Please Answer The Call or call our staff back; It's ALL confidential.

EDC Public Health COVID-19 Case Dashboard

The county now has a new interactive COVID-19 Dashboard. 

1) The new dashboard shows cases by episode date, not by the date El Dorado County Public Health was notified about the new case. Episode date is the earliest of the following dates:

symptom onset date
diagnosis date
specimen collection date d
ate received or
date of death
and serves as the best approximation of the date of infection.

2) The rate of new cases in El Dorado County, as shown on the dashboard, is the number of cases received in the state’s electronic lab reporting system (CalREDIE) over a 14-day period. The 14-day case rate being used to make the determination for whether or not a county is on the monitoring list is being calculated using episode date.
