COVID in Butte County: July 10 update

Chico today took a larger share of Butte County’s total case count with another 15 people testing positive for COVID-19.

Butte County Public Health reports there are 19 new cases in the entire county and the total number of people who have tested positive is now at 338. Here’s the breakdown:

Chico: Now has a total of 146 people who have tested positive. That’s an increase to 43 percent of the county’s total case count. Chico has about 47 percent of Butte County’s population.

Gridley: One new case. Gridley has had 95 people test positive, a drop to 28 percent of the county’s total case count. Still, the numbers are startlingly disproportionate; Gridley only has about 3 percent of Butte County’s population.

Other: One new case, 6 percent of the total.
