The positivity rate for Jackson County is at 14.6%, a 0.7% decrease from Sunday’s percentage.

Jackson County is classified as a level 3 county, meaning a red warning level for COVID-19 spread. An orange level county is classified between 10 and 14.9% with a red level being above 15%. An orange level county is classified as a 2, and a red level county is a 3. If a county’s positivity rate is close to a red level, it’s classified as 2.5.

Even though the county is below 15%, the Indiana State Department of Health still classifies it as red. That’s because the color levels are updated each Wednesday, and Jackson County moved back into the red last week.

Positivity rate also is determined by a seven-day moving average with a six-day lag. The reason for the lag is to give time to receive comprehensive results.

The current positivity rate for Jackson County would be for Dec. 22 to 28.
