No New COVID-19 cases in Humboldt County for 6th straight day

From DHHS: No new positive cases of COVID-19 were confirmed again today, marking the sixth consecutive day without a new case in Humboldt County.

Frankovich added that the Shelter-in-Place Order continues to be an important part of Humboldt County’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. “I know we are all eager to move forward and ease some of the restrictions in place,” she said. “Any move to ease shelter-in-place regulations can only be done with solid and informed planning.”
