CITY DATA
Vallejo added 1 of today’s new cases, total of 286.- Fairfield added 1 of today’s new cases, total of 96.
- Vacaville remained at 51 cases.
- Suisun City remained at 25 cases.
- Benicia remained at 23 cases.
- Dixon added 1 of today’s new cases, total of 11.
- Rio Vista and “Unincorporated” are still not assigned numerical data: today both remain at <10 (less than 10). The total numbers for other cities add up to 492, leaving 10 cases somewhere among the 2 locations in this “<10” category (same as last reported). Residents and city officials have pressured County officials for city case counts. Today’s data is welcome, but still incomplete.
HOSPITALIZATIONS: 75 of Solano’s 502 cases resulted in hospitalizations, same as yesterday.
ACTIVE CASES: 66 of the 502 cases are currently active – 1 more than yesterday. Note that the county does not report WHERE the active cases are. Below you will see that only 19 are currently hospitalized, which leaves 47 of these 66 active cases out in our communities somewhere, and hopefully quarantined.
HOSPITAL IMPACT: The County shows 19 of the 75 hospitalized cases are CURRENTLY hospitalized, 1 more than previously reported. The County’s count of ICU beds available and ventilator supply remains at “GOOD” at 31-100%. (No information is given on our supply of test kits, PPE and staff.)
TESTING
The County reports that 10,702 residents have been tested as of today, an increase of 202 residents tested since yesterday.
We still have a long way to go: only 2.4% of Solano County’s 447,643 residents (2019) have been tested. NOTE: State run testing sites in Vallejo and Vacaville are open to anyone.
Solano’s steady upward curve – as of May 27
This chart shows the infection’s steady upward trajectory in Solano County. Our “curve” continues to creep up. Our nursing homes, long-term care facilities and jails bear watching!
