California’s seven-day positivity rate is trending downward for a second week after steadily rising since the middle of June. Public health officials say the current seven-day rate is 5.8%. This is down from the previous seven-day average, and dropping from an August 1st peak of 7.1%. The rate was less than 1% on June 15th when the state ended most of its COVID restrictions. The pandemic peak was a staggering 17% back in early January.
