There is no change in the COVID-19 Risk Dial. It remains in low orange for a fifth consecutive week. The orange position on the dial indicates that the risk of the virus spreading and the impact on our community is high.

Wastewater surveillance showed an increase in virus particles over the past week and the 7-day rolling average of hospitalizations increased over the past week, from 34 last week to 40 on Tuesday.
