The number of confirmed cases continues to rise at Chuckawalla State Prison (CVSP) and Avenal State Prison (ASP). Today, CVSP reported 993 cases, which is the highest in the CDCR system and reflects a 28.29% increase since last Tuesday. ASP follows with 841 confirmed cases, a 40.40% increase in the 7-day period.
The positive test rate at CVSP and ASP as of today are 53.35% and 44.37% respectively.
There are zero confirmed cases in CDCR facilities located in Solano County, Sacramento County, Amador County & San Joaquin County. Facilities in these 4 counties are continuing to test for the virus.
Note: The definition of tested aligns with that prescribed by Johns Hopkins University. Patients are considered to be tested only when the test result is returned, i.e. the testing count reported by a facility includes the total number of tests for which results have returned, and not the total number of tests administered.
