Lake County - May 5, 2021

Effective Reproduction Number (Rt)

After remaining near one in early April, estimated Rt has declined to levels substantially less than 1.0.

Projected Incidence

Daily case counts appear most likely to decrease slightly in the coming 2 weeks. Continued masking and social distancing will be critical to preventing increases.

Asymptomatic to Symptomatic Ratio

After remaining slightly elevated in early April, the ratio of asymptomatic to symptomatic cases appears to have returned to a normal level in the past 2 weeks.  A low ratio of asymptomatic to symptomatic cases facilitates mitigation efforts since symptomatic individuals usually isolate.
