Following a rapid rise in positive COVID- 19 (Coronavirus) cases, the Mono County Health Department (Public Health) is urging residents and visitors to follow proper guidance and protocols upon receiving a positive COVID-19 test result.
The dramatic increase in positive COVID-19 cases is impacting the Public Health Department’s ability to provide adequate contact tracing services, and it is important that infected individuals adhere to the following guidance to help mitigate further spread:
1. Isolate for a minimum of five days beginning the date you tested positive for COVID-19. Avoid all contact with others, including members of your family.
2. Notify all individuals that you have been in close contact with over the prior seven-day period before testing positive, and encourage them to test for COVID- 19 infection.
3. Once your symptoms have resolved, and following your five-day isolation period, you may return to work and normal activity.
4. If you experience severe symptoms, such as shortness of breath, or if your symptoms do not improve, see your medical provider or report to the Emergency Room immediately.
The Public Health Department will continue to provide contact tracing services as quickly as possible, but residents are encouraged to follow the previously outlined guidance until they are contacted.

Rapid rise? In Northern Mono County, we have had 23 positive cases in 60 days. That’s one every 3 days. I don’t consider that “rapid rise” or “surge”. Watch the numbers, before you read the headlines….

150 new cases in inyo over last 4 days reported today. Good luck to you and wherever you get your stats
I live in Walker and watch the Reno KOLO news nightly. In the last 2 months they have given positive COVID tests for counties outside NV, Mono being one. There were times when they reported high numbers of cases. One week there were at least close to 50 cases reported.… Read more »
Luv watching KOLO8
Considering the recent covid variant discovered halfway around the world less than two months ago is now responsible for approx 95% of the new cases in our country, I don’t see how being in North Mono County has much relevance in the bigger picture.
Uh oh….. Northern Mono has one more case……PANIC!!!
You pull numbers out of your rear end and claim they are from the county website and now you are going to mock your neighbors for being concerned?
The sky is falling! How dare you mock me. LOL
