Butte county now has two times the states threshold and now more deaths people are reflecting on how they could've taken more safety precautions sot/ jake rodrigues/ concerned about spike in covid deaths "the only thing i can think of at this point is wearing a mask sooner and isolating myself from people around me."
And some feeã they have been taking all precautions possible sot/ leah/ concerned about spike in covid deaths "no, i can't think of anything because i've worked in the medical field over the years and i have always been very cautious about sanitary conditions and have been a hand washer most of my life."
Stand up "i also spoke to one local businesses owner and he told me how this news is impacting him" sot/ enzo perri/owner, celestinos " i think people don't realize what this means.
You know death and contracting this disease it's going to effect the whole community and i think we just have to be more vigilant and have to use more precautions and really quarantine and do what we can to really stop this because it's terrible."
Perri hopes this ultimately doesn't hurt his business even more "we're just one incident away from closing so we try to do our best to keep everybody safe.
Customers don't like it when we require masks but i have to protect my people, i have to protect myself, and we want to stay in business so it's a balancing act for sure."
In chico - i'm dani masten, action news now coverage you can count on it's not clear when the four new deaths occured.
Their reporting was delayed because of the glitch in the state reporting system.
Because of that glitch there were 300 thousand missing records across the state - 300 in butte county.
Butte county also saw 16 new cases - totaling more than 13 hundred..
188 people are in isolation - with 18 of hospitalized.
Butte county numbers indicate 10 people are currently hospitalized -- because the county only reports butte county residents.
To date - more than 11 hundred people have recovered from the virus.
