CITY DATA
Vallejo added 1 of today’s new cases, total of 267.- Fairfield added 3 of today’s new cases, total of 83.
- Vacaville added 1 of today’s new cases, total of 45.
- Suisun City added 1 of today’s new cases, total of 22.
- Benicia remains unchanged at 21.
- Dixon, Rio Vista and “Unincorporated” are still not assigned numerical data: today all remain at <10 (less than 10). The total numbers for other cities add up to 438, leaving 17 cases somewhere among the 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: 73 of Solano’s 455 cases resulted in hospitalizations, 4 more than yesterday.
ACTIVE CASES: 47 of the 455 cases are active – good news: 6 fewer than yesterday. Note that the county does not report WHERE the active cases are. Below you will see that only 18 are currently hospitalized, which leaves 29 of these 47 active cases out in our communities somewhere, and hopefully quarantined.
HOSPITAL IMPACT: The County shows 18 of the 69 hospitalized cases are CURRENTLY hospitalized, same as 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.)
TESTING
The County reports that 9,340 residents have been tested as of today, an increase of 367 residents tested since yesterday’s report.
We still have a long way to go: just under 2% of Solano County’s 447,643 residents (2019) have been tested. See Solano testing – by the numbers April 13 – present. NOTE: State run testing sites in Vallejo and Vacaville are open to anyone.
Solano’s steady upward curve – as of May 22
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!
