HOSPITALIZATIONS: 62 of Solano’s 410 cases resulted in hospitalizations.  Good news – same as yesterday.

ACTIVE CASES:  52 of the 410 cases are active, same as yesterday.   Note that the county does not report WHERE the active cases are.  Below you will see that only 14 are currently hospitalized, which leaves 36 of these 52 active cases out in our communities somewhere, and hopefully quarantined.

The County’s “Hospital Impact” graph shows 14 of the 62 hospitalized cases are CURRENTLY hospitalized, 1 less than yesterday.  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.)

CITY DATA

• Vallejo cases reduced by 2 for some reason, 2 fewer cases, total of  245.
• Fairfield added 3 new cases, total 70.
• Vacaville added 1 new case, total 39.
• Suisun City remains at 20 cases.
• Benicia remains at 20.
• Dixon, Rio Vista and “Unincorporated” are still not assigned numerical data: today all remain at <10 (less than 10).  Note that the numbers for other cities add up to 394, leaving 16 cases located somewhere among the locations in this “<10” category (same number as last reported).  Residents and city officials have pressured County officials for city case counts.  Today’s data is welcome, but still incomplete.

TESTING

The County reports that 6,761 residents have been tested as of today.  Good news – this is a significant increase of 753 residents tested since yesterday’s total of 6,008.  This comes a week after the County announced the opening of new State run testing sites in Vacaville and Vallejo, open to anyone.
· See Solano testing – by the numbers April 13 – present.
· See also Solano County announces testing available to all.
We still have a long way to go: only 1.4% of Solano County’s 447,643 residents (2019) have been tested.

Solano’s steady upward curve – as of May 15

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!

Still incredibly important – everyone stay home, wear masks when you are out, and be safe!
