K-6 School Reopening:
Contra Costa County is currently in the Purple Tier. Schools may not reopen for grades 7-12 while in the Purple Tier. K-6 school may reopen for in-person instruction in the Purple Tier if the adjusted case rate has been less than 25 per 100,000 population (currently 21.1) per day for at least 5 consecutive days (schools can now reopen) and the school has an approved COVID Safety Plan. Local school officials will decide whether and when to reopen once these criteria are met.
These numbers don’t seem right. I though active cases was total cases – recovered cases??
Active cases is total cases – (recovered + deaths)
In this case it’s 59,585 – (56,050 + 574) which is 2,961 and matches Claycord’s number.
