See: All about the DELTA VARIANT. Also, People with mild COVID can have long-term health problems. And: “More than 70% of COVID-19 patients studied report having at least one “long haul” symptom that lasts for months.” It’s not over yet!

Solano County COVID-19 Dashboard – SUMMARY:
Solano County reported 91 new COVID cases since Wednesday’s report, an average of 45 per day!! Compare: Solano County saw 1,288 new cases in April, an average of 43 per day. In May, Solano reported 920 new cases, an average of 30 per day. In June, we saw 751 new cases in Solano, an average of 23 new infections each day.
Solano’s 264 ACTIVE cases today is our highest since mid-May and up significantly from Wednesday’s 212 cases.

Solano County reported no new deaths today. The County total is now 245 deaths since the pandemic began.
Hospitalizations on Friday, July 9:
Solano County reported an intake/discharge total of 16 CURRENTLY hospitalized persons with COVID today, 3 more than Wednesday. The County updates the total of CURRENTLY hospitalized cases with every report, but never reports on the cumulative total of hospitalized COVID patients over the course of the pandemic. That total must be independently discovered in the County’s occasional update of the demographic chart labeled “Hospitalizations by Age Group.” That chart hasn’t been updated since June 30, when a total of 1,304 persons had been hospitalized since the beginning of the outbreak, in the following age groups:
| Age Group | Hospitalizations | % of Total |
| 0-17 | 27 | 2% |
| 18-49 | 326 | 25% |
| 50-64 | 340 | 26% |
| 65+ | 611 | 47% |
| TOTAL | 1,304 | 100% |
Hospitalizations are also recorded on the County’s demographic chart labeled “Hospitalizations by Race / Ethnicity.” Here are the current numbers. Interestingly, the total doesn’t square with totals by age groups. (My hunch is that the County has not updated this chart for a time.)
| Race / Ethnicity | Hospitalizations | % of Total |
| Asians | 184 | 15% |
| Black / African American | 197 | 16% |
| Hispanic / Latinx | 327 | 27% |
| White | 405 | 34% |
| Multirace / Others | 85 | 7% |
| TOTAL | 1,198 | 99% |
