3RPHD Risk Dials See Small Decrease

The COVID-19 Community Risk Dials for the Three Rivers Public Health Department (3RPHD) jurisdiction of Dodge, Washington, and Saunders counties has been updated for the week.
3RPHD Jurisdiction:

  • 3.14 Current Week
  • 3.43 Previous Week

Dodge County:

  • 3.14 Current Week
  • 3.43 Previous Week

Saunders County:

  • 3.14 Current Week
  • 3.43 Previous Week

Washington County

  • 3.14 Current Week
  • 3.43 Previous Week

This week the 3RPHD jurisdiction decreased to 3.14 due to a decrease in the number of cases, increased ICU bed availability, increase in weekly positivity rate, increase in community spread, and an increase in regional hospitalizations due to COVID-19.
“It is also important to note that we did not test as many people as we had the previous week and that likely was tied to Thanksgiving,” said Terra Uhing, Executive Director of Three Rivers Public Health Department.
Please avoid the 3 C’s—Crowded Places, Confined Spaces, and Close Contact.
Additionally, Three Rivers has updated its 3RPHD COVID-19 Dashboard that can be found at https://www.threeriverspublichealth.org/COVID-19/COVID-19-Updates.
“There are several pages that can be accessed by clicking on the button in the upper right corner of the page. We have added additional data points that can be searched through by county. We are working hard every day to provide relevant data to our communities” said 3RPHD.
The main factors considered in the risk dials include:

  • The increase in the number of COVID-19 cases over the past three weeks.
  • The increase in the percentage of positive COVID-19 tests.
  • The capacity of the district and local healthcare system including the number of patients hospitalized with COVID-19, the ventilators being utilized, and the percentage available of adult ICU beds.
  • The presence of community clusters and or community spread.
  • The availability of 3RPHD to trace all identified contacts of positive cases in 48 hours.

As a reminder 3RPHD updates the community risk dials each Wednesday, and the 3RPHD Data Dashboard is updated each weekday. Please visit our website to learn more.
