Fresno County currently has a 5.1% test positivity rate (up from 5.1% last week), and 6.1 cases per 100,000 residents (down from 6.7 last week). To stay in its current red tier, Fresno County numbers need to continue to have less than an 8% test positivity rate and reduce new cases per 100,000 residents to less than 7 over the next week.
The state’s required “health equity” positivity rate is at 7.4% (up from 6.8% last week). Fresno County needs to remain below 8% to in this measurement remain in the red tier.
