Health officials are pleading for help from the community as the coronavirus rips through Sutter County, which only has one hospital that can take in COVID patients.
Sutter County, home to a little under 100,000 residents, is currently seeing a test positivity rate of 20.1%. That means one in every five COVID tests is coming back positive for the virus. It s the highest in the state, which has an 8.7% positivity rate overall. The World Health Organization advises that rates should be at 5% or lower before businesses can reopen.

The Greater Sacramento region will be placed under the state’s strictest shutdown order Thursday night, just before midnight, state health officials said.
The new restrictions will require all restaurants to close outdoor dining, and will force barbers, hair salons and nail salons to shut doors. Retail outlets will be required to limit customers to 20% capacity at a time. Residents will be asked to remain at home except to go to essential jobs or to do basic chores.
