Humboldt County resident released from isolation

The individual in Humboldt County who tested positive for COVID-19 infection earlier this month has been released from isolation after meeting all conditions for clearance required by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

This individual no longer has symptoms and has undergone multiple tests that confirm infection is no longer present.

The close contact of the patient is expected to be released soon.

Humboldt County Health Officer Dr. Teresa Frankovich said, “The individual continues to do well and will undoubtedly be pleased to return to normal activities.”

Frankovich emphasized that people cleared from isolation do not present any risk of infection to the community.

“We sincerely appreciate the fact that this individual has been compliant with very strict isolation requirements and eager to help protect the health of fellow Humboldt County residents,” she said.
