This dashboard has information regarding the COVID-19 disease in Yolo County and includes settings to customize your view. 

• Total Cases: Please note that the number in ‘Total Cases’ is only laboratory confirmed cases, which represent a small portion of total cases in Yolo County. The ability of labs to do testing is extremely limited. Most people in the community who are infected with COVID-19 have mild illness and are not being tested.

• Filter by Area / City: Filter by area or city using the drop down menu on the top right. ‘Display All’ will provide you with all the cases in Yolo County, as a whole. This information is now being shared as the number of confirmed cases has grown. Though one area may have more numbers, the virus should be considered everywhere and people need to stay at home. There are many reasons why one city or area will have more or less confirmed cases including the fact that different labs are used, doctors may be following different ordering guidelines, and areas may have differences in following the stay at home orders.

• Negative Test Results: Please note that negative test results can be misleading. The labs testing for Covid-19 can have a false negative rate as high as 40%. This means that up to 40% of the negative tests may actually be positive. For this reason, anyone who has Covid-19 symptoms must stay home, even if they never tested OR received a negative test result. 

It is in everyone’s best interest to stay at home, as much as possible, for the duration of the health order.
