[NOTE: this report is based on the July 7 Solano COVID update, which somewhat strangely showed the date July 6. I’m presuming this was the County’s Wednesday July 7 update. – R.S.]
Solano County reports 105 new COVID infections over the long holiday weekend, percent positive test rate up dramatically to 13.2%.
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 reported 105 new COVID cases since last Friday’s report, an average of 28 per day. Monthly: 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 212 ACTIVE cases today is down a bit from Friday’s 218 cases. Our percent positivity rate rose significantly again today to 13.2%, up from 7.2%! This is Solano’s HIGHEST POSITIVITY RATE IN 5 MONTHS – since February 4, 2021! COVID is still out there – TAKE CARE!
One new Death…
Solano County reported 1 new death today, someone age 18 to 49, the County’s first death since June 4. The County total is now 245 deaths since the pandemic began.
Hospitalizations on Tuesday, July 6:
Solano County reported an intake/discharge total of 13 CURRENTLY hospitalized persons with COVID today, 4 more than last Friday. The County updates these plus/minus totals of CURRENTLY hospitalized cases with every report, but never reports on the cumulative total of hospitalized COVID patients, which must be independently discovered in the County’s infrequent 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, 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% |
