We know that Truckee has the highest number of Covid-19 cases in Nevada County, but Grass Valley is second. According to the coronavirus dashboard on Nevada County’s website, the 95945 zip code has ten cases–the only zip code other than 96161 to be in double digits. The exact number of cases is not disclosed per zip code until that zip code reaches ten. County Public Health Director Jill Blake says more additions to the dashbord are coming…

One thing that is not being shared is hospitalizations, although that information is sent to the state, and reported on their website.

Data on the dashboard include number of cases, tests done, active cases, number who have recovered, and deaths. There’s also breakdowns by gender, and type of transmission, although there have been no travel-related cases since early in the pandemic. The dashboard can be found at www.mynevadacounty.coronavirus. The total number of cases is now in triple digits–breaking the one hundred mark on Thursday.
