Health experts everywhere are in agreement: the only way to stop a renewed outbreak of coronavirus cases and deaths is to press forward with widespread testing and contact tracing.  Experts on the economy agree that a key to restarting the economy is increased testing.

The Solano County Public Health department has reported on the number of our residents tested on a daily basis (Monday-Friday) since April 13.  Over this period, the daily number tested has varied widely, from 29 to 1,021, averaging 192 per day. (See table below.)

Today, the County reported 367 residents newly tested since yesterday.  The total number of Solano County residents tested as of today is 9,340, still just under 2% of the population (477,643 as of 2019).  Here’s hoping these numbers continue to increase in the days and weeks ahead.

State run testing sites in Vallejo and Vacaville are open to anyone.
