Humboldt County Public Health confirmed 14 new COVID-19 cases today, making 95 so far this week. The new cases were confirmed after laboratories processed 259 samples with a test-positivity rate of 5.4 percent and come after the county confirmed 138 cases last week as a part of a recent surge. Officials are pointing to the local presence of the B.1.1.7 variant as a reason for the recent spike in cases, with Public Health reporting last week that genomic sequencing has identified more than 40 local cases of the variant, which is associated with a 50 percent increase in transmission and more severe illness.
